Snoring bug your wife?

Ok, ok, ok....my wife tells me that when I sleep I snore. Of course I'm in denial of this because I don't hear it and sleep quite fine :D, especially after downing a couple of brewsky's.

I obviously snore 'cause sometimes she'll wake me up and tell me that I'm snoring. "Oh sorry dear". Then she wakes me up again which in MY mind, the total time elapsed is two seconds.....[according to her, it's been 5 minutes]....and tells me I'm snoring again. Well, I love her and I trust her, so I guess I snore while I sleep.

This I know, if my wife was sleeping beside me and she started snoring I'd donkey slap her. That crap would drive me BONKERS! So, in all good fairness I told her I would look into finding out possible solutions to cure me of what is causing her some sleepless nights.

That said, I know most of you fellas [and some of the women] on this forum snore while you sleep. So in some good clean fun I have some questions for you folks.

What would you do.............

1- Let the other half deal with it?
2- **** when she wakes you up?
3- Tell her/him to move to another room?
4- Get up and grab a beer?
5- Replace the complainer?
6- Find a solution to shut your honker up?
7- Move to the room with the blow up doll?
8- Put duct tape over the other half's ears?
9- Fill in your own suggestion...

I'm personally going for #6, but I have not one f'n clue as to where to start.

    I stay up listening to music, and make sure my wife falls sound asleep first. Then my buzz-saw doesn't wake her up.

    Ok I try going to bed without the beer, I snore my wife says when I'm most tired. I don't or not too bad if I'm not really tired, so I'm thinking it's the beer. Or if you most drink, drink with her so she will snore also "Canceling your snore" :D

    I use option #2 which makes her leave the room. Problem solved.
    My wife snores too. When she does, option #2 still works in my favor.

    My wife has suffered through my snoring problem for the past 20 years,,,I have been through two different sleep studies...that's different...I have had two surgeries to open up up my airways,plus open up the nostrals.

    Nothing seems to help,I've tried the Breath Right strips,a formed mouth piece,a breathing machine...you effin' name it,I've tried it.

    Now,my Doctor says I need to quite drinking soo much Beer,and all the cigarettes that I smoked over the years hasn't helped any either.

    I have given up the smokes,buy there ain't no way in Hell I'm given up the cold Beer :D

    Drinking doesn't help. I tend to only snore (at least, I've only been told I snore) when I've been drinking or when I sleep on my BACK.... so if you're a back sleeper try sleeping on your side or stomach and see if it helps.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    If you sleep on your stomach, wear your boxers backwards, it gives the ether bunny easier access...:eek::D

    This is very similar to what my wife says and when I am coherent enough to acknowledge her existence, I roll on my side. However, when I'm sleeping....in one ear, out the other without the [my] brain registering what is actually happening. Most of the time, I'm still lost in my dreams TOTALLY unaware of the surroundings around me. A freakin' bomb could go off and I wouldn't wake. Hell, just last night the smoke detector battery spent. "Beep" every minute or so. Did I hear it? HELL no. I slept like a rock. My wife? Didn't get a lick of sleep.

    Lucky for me my wife says I'm polite and cooperative during these times [I wouldn't know], but the fact that it is a topic away from sleeping has me concerned for her.

    Rolling on my side she says stops it, but how do I stop myself from laying on my back mid sleep? I have that "thing" [I don't know what the hell it's called] you put in between your legs, but that lasts about an hour or so. I'll try the nose strips and see what that does.

    Duct tape a tennis ball to the back of your t-shirt, pj top, or whatever you wear to bed. When you roll over on to your back, I guarantee you won't stay there long. Not very high tech but it works!

    My wife is the one that snores, not me unless I have been drinking all night.

    I snore like a runaway freight train! I usually go to bed later then the wife and if she's asleep before me then all is okay! Since I have quit smoking, my snoring has increased somewhat as my wife has woken me up in the middle of the night to tell me I am snoring!

    I have to lose some weight and from what I have read that is probably the biggest aide to abating one's snoring. After that, I agree, strips are the next step. Surgery! :eek:

    Mine just gave up complaining after she was caught snoring and 22 years, but I live with her talking in her sleep or slapping me in the arm to get my attention while she is talking in her sleep. I just tell her that she's talking in her sleep then she stop talking and goes back to sleep.

    Very simple solution Treitz, just leave Sparky on at about 3/4 volumn when you go to bed and the Mrs. won't even hear you snoring.:D

    My snoring doesn't bug my girlfriend as much as it bugs my wife.
