Guest guest Posted March 25, 1999 Report Share Posted March 25, 1999 I live with a snorer too--- we finally decided that i needed my OWN BED although it is in the same room, and we run " white noise, " usually an air filter so i don't hear him. my head is about 10 feet from his, in a little alcove, which also allows me to open the window when it is too hot, so i can breathe while my husband doesn't get cold - since he has little hair left. being in the same room but in different beds allows for romance without the hassle. nancy mcfadden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Hi , I of course, also do not snore, (loudly). My husband never had to leave the room because he could not sleep. However, I was assessed at a sleep disorder clinic and found to be suffering from sleep apnea. A CPAP unit was prescribed and all is much better. Your doctor will have to make the referral.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 My husband quit snoring about a week into ER4YT diet, but, every time he eats out and has wheat he seems to snore again. I found that I'm sleeping better than ever now, except when he eats wheat! RE: SNORING TIP -please specify?!? I know that you are asking about "swinging exercise", but fyi snoring is caused by oxygen deficiency. He can try B-15 from FOOD SCIENCE.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 I also stopped snoring when I stopped eating wheat. I a lost about 25-30 lbs as well, not sure which is the cause except I also note that on rare occasions out when I eat wheat that I just feel awful. I'm an O negative non-secretor, so probably the last person on the planet that should eat wheat. stephen www.xiveren.com "It can only be attributable to human error" -HAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 Thanks for the interesting information, I finally understand now what causes snoring. It doesn't sound like I have any of the symptoms of sleep apnea and I definetely sleep hard and don't wake up until morning. But snoring has caused me some social grief over the years because my partner never wants to sleep with me. So we usually have to get our snuggling done before we go to sleep. In fact, my twin brother and I can be heard at night snoring, talking in our sleep and mooing like a cow in unison. Weird hugh? Who let the cows out. While we're on the subject of sleeping on one's side, what is correct pillow height? I use 2 pillows is that okay? Maybe somebody can direct me to website where you can buy best pillows for head, neck and lower back but doesn't cost an arm and leg.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 Craig, I don't think you need to go spending a lot of money on pillows in order to sleep comfortably on your side. I don't snore much and prefer a very flat pillow when I sleep on my back. But I have another rather thick cheap foam pillow I keep handy because in the wee hours, I like to turn on my side. If I don't use the second pillow, my head bends over toward the side I'm lying on and I wake up the next morning with a charley horse in my neck. I've never found a standard bed pillow that holds it's shape for too terribly long, no matter what the cost, so why not just get one at Pick 'n Save or when some department store puts them on sale for $5. When they get old and out of shape or need cleaning (I don't care what manufacturers say, they do not wash up very well), you don't mind throwing it out and buying a new one. All you're really looking for is something to support your head comfortably.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Hey all, At what point do you think you stop snoring? I'm down to 220 from 278 and can't wait for the point to stop snoring? I think because of the fat around the neck I snore when I relax and sleep. But I want to know from others when your spouse finally said you stopped snoring. Anyone? /Michigan 7/10/02 278/120 _________________________________________________________________ Broadband? Dial-up?

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 , Hate to be the bearer of bad news but .... it is possible that you will always snore. Snoring is not always associated with obesity. It is a physiologic thing caused by the anatomy in your neck and throat.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 Vicki, Whenever I go on vacation with my family, I have a HORRIBLE time sleeping because of the big snorers. I've learned to take a package of earplugs when we go. Sometimes it doesn't get rid of the noise ALL the way, but it DEFINITELY tones it down to almost tolerable. I've found the longer I lay there and get irrited, the more the snoring bugs me and the longer it takes me to fall asleep. I don't know what else to suggest besides rolling him out to the couch and leaving him there..

Does he have what appears to be leg spasms while he's sleeping? If so, you may want to suggest a sleep study. Loud snoring with interupted breathing are two signs of sleep apnea. Most people who have it aren't really aware they have the problem, but it can be dangerous. I know.. I've been there.. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 , Of course there could be many issues involved--especially if this man has grown overweight eating all that good Argentine beef--but I have often found that beta uptraining combined with reducing slow activity works well with snoring. His beginning to snore could be an indication that his EEG is slowing, and that's why this has begun. Of course, being a macho, I'm sure he will not be interested in talking about any other problems in his life (this is his WIFE's problem, after all), but he might find beta training helped him with things that aren't even " problems " . Pete VanDeusen Practical Brain Training. 305/251-0337 pvdadp@... Snoring Dear EEG Friends. Today I have a particular client, a woman which complains that his Husband begun to snore... And since this (however they have a very good relationship)....They have to sleep separated.. Because the guy is like a Train!!! And this is causing very serious sleep problems in the wife! Don't ask me about to make him a QDS QEEG Assessment. He sent me to hell...:-( He saw ridiculous to do such assessment for this issue that " almost " everyone has!!! So, please, if any one has experience with This kind of disorder, and there is a already done..Protocol. Please let me know. Warm regards for all friends there!!!!!

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Pete. Is amazing this snoring issue. This men is really disturbing all the family. What really snore needs is a polisomnography and a oxygenometry (spanlgish). There are simple snoring cases (some even...you wont believe it..I read this....spoil a complete neighborhood sleep!) If not treated because of the chronic effort, they usually end with High Blood pressure or Heart Diseases. More dangerous is the sometimes related sleep Apnea. I will try to explain this "noisy husband" the Heart Disorders and other dangerous issues related to snoring.
