Lilleyput	If I had the solution to this age old problem I would be worth billions. However, I guess the only solution is sleep in separate bedrooms. Though this maybe easier said than done. It really can be very distressing for all concerned and I wish someone had the solution. What I would say though is try not to think about it too much as it is a bit like my tinnitus it drives me crazy most of the time but I have had to learn to live with it as I have my husbands snoring. Try to shut it out best you can. Overweight....snoring Drinking...snoring Blocked Sinuses...snoring Laying on back....snoring Bad posture...snoring Sex....... no snoring! So is this the answer I wonder? Hmm I think I'll put up with snoring. Lol Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Vogon Poet	My wife suffers really badly, 'cause when I snore I sound like a chain saw playing a tuba. There's not a lot we can do about it as it's the pain killers I take to get to sleep (on going medical condition). It's so bad that my wife actually taped it once when she was sitting wide awake at 4am trying to get back to sleep. The best thing we have managed is that I go to sleep about 2 hrs after she's fallen asleep so that she can get into a really deep sleep before 'old thunder' gets going. Fortunately I am a light sleeper until about 3am so I get up for the kids bad dreams etc. Also if she can have a nap sometimes in the day just half an hour when she's really tired make a world of difference. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Laurence B	Murder him >= D Or if you don't fancy that you can ask him to rest on him side. Apparently that works well ^-^ Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Debs	My husband snores really loudly too and I can wear earplugs but still can hear him, I hear every little noise. I now sleep in the spare room but we go to bed together for cuddles and always get back in bed together in the morning. We do sleep together some nights and on those nights I really squash my ear plugs in and then earphones for the CD player which is under the pillow playing an audio book loudly so I can hear through the earplugs. It blocks a lot but I couldnt do it everynight, I would prefer the sofa! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

gr0undh0gd4y	don't go down the sleeping pill route. ear plugs are out.you have skin prob's does your husband have weight trouble? does he sleep on his back(not a good idea when over weight)? see the doctor mate is the best answer you will get and the only answer you should listen too. good luck mate. xxx Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

woody the pigeon	I'm told by my wife that I snore. I've never heard it myself, but I have to believe her. (Mind you, so does she snore fairly often). But, as someone else said its true that its worse when I'm on my back. I try my best not to snore.But as I never hear it I don't know how successful I am. But now I've been well trained. If kicked, I turn over onto my left side, facing away from her. But I think that making me turn over also has the benefit that I breath through my other side. I think its mainly because I have a sinus blocked that I snore, so making me turn over (either way really) is a good move. We also have a cat that often comes and sleeps on my legs. When that happens I just don't sleep much at all and therefore I make much less noise (apart from the odd swearing fit), so maybe getting a cat would help. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Dellboy from UK	I snore at times and when I do my wife tells me that she says out loud: "Stop snoring" and apparently I do. Other people have said this works (not on me, of course). When my wife snores, I just get up and move into the spare bedroom Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Yes / No

D W	i have had this problem for years,my husband snores real bad,had to resort to ear plugs and slept down stairs when kids were little,now its heaven i have my own room,some times you have to go into another room just to catch up on your sleep, prehaps you could do this now and again. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shelagh.medic.t21@btinternet.com	I know how you feel, mine snores, groans, whines and grinds his teeth! I turn him on his side, well actualy poke him till he turns himself. Sometimes I smear Vic vapour rub under his nose, this seems to help with the breathing. Tried those strips you put on the nose but they didn't help. A vapouriser might help too or even just an oil burner with some Eucalyptus oil in it as long as you have somewhere safe to put it. I wanted to try the oil burner through the night but don't have anywhere safe enough to leave it burning. However I did try it for a couple of hours before we went to sleep and it helped for a while. Good luck hope you get a decent nights sleep soon. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Houl Yer Whist	make sure he does not have any alcohol as this makes it more likely he will snore. Have a few glasses of Cape Chenin Blanc wine (well chilled) before you go to bed. You will have a great night's sleep. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sunshine	you poor thing!! my boyfriend of 3 years snores unbielieveably loud!!! I too am a light sleeper, usually. So what I've done is bought a case of earplugs. I know you said you can't use them and I'm sorry to hear that because they really help me. On the other hand my Fathers wife snores and he too is a light sleeper due to being a Lt. in the fire dept( now retired) so every noise he hears. What he does is , well he always asleep before her, after a few hours of sleeping he goes into another bedroom to sleep. it's the only way he can get any sleep!!! they've been together over 16 years now and it works. hey if doing that keeps you from being miserable and cranky great.

Charlotte	You could try putting a cotton pad over your ear, and to keep it from falling off you could use some medical tape too stick it down softly. This shouldn't harm your ear, but will stop the sound from waking you. Hope this helps. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
