Snoring

We went on holiday with my sister-in-law one year and we could hear her loud snoring through the wall. I had it in stereo that week.

I'm the snorer in our house. DH has a gentle steady breathing sound but I sound like an emphysemic navvy who's downed several pints of strong ale and passed out.

Snoring terrible, spent a lot of my time moving to the settee to get some sleep. Husband now has sleep apnoea machine and great improvement. Now he complains I snore! No comment.

I know how annoying snoring is and the rewards of having a spare bedroom to retreat to. Although, moving out of your warm bed into the cold is not a pleasurable thing to do.

However, I do reflect a lot, now he is no longer here...........Think on.

I have to wear a breathing machine as I have sleep aponea. I was told by the doctor that my heart stops and starts during the night and this was one of the reasons I was always tired. Aparently you never go into a deep sleep because of the condition. Butit was only found because I went to the doctor about my snoring. I presume if your son has this condition he should keep wearing his sleep mask

My father had sleep apnoea. He would be so tired that he would just fall asleep at the table. Needless to say, he had a stroke eventually. We complain about the NHS today, but when he first had it 40 years ago the doctors seemed to have no idea what was wrong with him. His snoring sounded as if someone was mowing with a large noisy mower in the same room.

I snore sometimes, not loudly I am told.
Mr N can snore for England, but you know what, I somehow find it kind of reassuring that my MAN is laying besides me !

After over 40years of listening to my dear Husband snoring, we persuaded him to have an operation which claimed to solve the problem. It was the most painful thing ever but the result was wonderful for about 3 months when the uvula (the part that had previously lazered off) had grown back. So prompt action was taken to see a consultant at the sleep clinic, who fixed him up with a a mask and pump to wear at night which he has had for over a year 100% success. Highly recommended by ME!!

I retreated 3 years ago to the "spare". I still at times have to wear earplugs as his snoring goes straight thr the wall and it is a thick old wall, not one of those cardboard affairs. However the "spare" is my heaven, i redecorated in my style, i can read as late or as early as i like, i can even have a cup of tea with my kindle without annoyed grunts from DH, or -sins of sins- listen to the radio or text , phone or email at any time! Moving out of a shared bedroom is just the best thing i cld have done.
Why see it as a negative, i love my freedom and of course with it comes the decision to each clean our own!! DH now has his winter trainer bike in there, a car bike rack to hold all his bike gear, as he never liked duvets he has gone back to his one blanket with his dressing gown on top for when he gets chilly, which is hardly ever! Aestheticly pleasing it is not anylonger, and as for cleaning. .... ;-)) I just don't go there!

I hate to admit it but a couple of weeks ago I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea - my long suffering husband had kind of got used to my snoring and me stopping breathing but I was feeling so tired I went to the GP.
It turned out after tests I was stopping breathing over 300 times a night.
I am overweight and am now trying to get fitter - to be honest I was too tired before to do much however at the sleep clinic there were people of all shapes and sizes.
I now have a CPAP machine and the constant air pressure keeps my throat open. My machine is very quiet and the mask just fits over my nose - it isn't attractive but it works! It does take some getting used to but the benefits outweigh the discomfort.
My cousin also has a CPAP machine and cannot get on with it and is going to see if she can get a different model like me.

Hear, hear! Gardenoma, best thing I ever did moving in to another bedroom too! Blissfully unaware of snoring and a space of my own to do just as I like, highly recommended! And I can hog the duvet too.....
