whats the best solution in putting up with a SNORING husband? do earplugs work at all?
Question by ROCKMUM LOVES BOWIE: whats the best solution in putting up with a SNORING husband? do earplugs work at all?
im struggling to even type as im so tired, hubby snored all night so i went on the uncomftable couch at 4am , where i still struggled to fall asleep, but i at least got 2 hours
if we had a spare room id use it but all i have is the couch, if i brought some earplugs to sleep in would they block out his snoring?,,
i really need help, i know so many disgraceful men snore,, how do i get some sleep, HELP xxxxxxxxxxxx
By the way,, id definately say he may have apneoa,,, but hes too damn stubborn to get tested as it dosent bother him and hes selfish to care about me or his health
my dad wears a cpap machine to bed 4 his snoring and dad hates it,, so my hubby definately dosent want one!,, lol

I hope someone gives you a solution on here because I am having the same problem. Nudging him is not doing it anymore.

He may have sleep apnea. Have him go to a sleep clinic. They’ll give him a machine that stops the snore. And you can sleep again.
Edit: Tough. He gets checked, or you leave.

The best help is to seek medical advice from your doctor. Snoring can turn into a serious life threaten problem. This can be treated medically. In the meantime, get him breathright (or some other brand) on nasal strips for snoring. Also, instead of having him lie flat on his pillow, prop him up on several pillows to open up his airways.

Thank goodness i haven’t encountered this problem with my fiance’ but my mother dealt with my dad snoring constantly.
Yes, many men do not want to admit there is a problem with anything, but it’s in your best interest to buy him some “Breathe Right Nasal Strips.”
It’s what my dad used and they really did work. So first try those, if he is willing to…you can even go to walmart and find a cheaper Equate brand!

Anyways, until then try using some sleep aid to make sure you get all the sleep you need.

they have band-aids for snoring put one across his nose see if it helps i only heard of this maybe you need ear plugs

If investing in earplugs is your last option, grab yourself some Nascar quality earplugs. I swear, if you put those in your ear, the only thing you’ll possibly hear is the sound of your thoughts.

Earplugs helped me a lot. At first they’ll feel uncomfortable, but you’ll get used to them. I barely notice I’m wearing them and I actually sleep now lol. If they don’t help you, then I would consider getting a fold out couch. You need your sleep.

I just got the nose-band-aid things, haven’t tried them out yet.

awwww, you poor thing – especially after a late night – the last thing you want is a friggin snoring husband..!!
Since men are so stubborn and blame us for everything, I would give the ear plugs a try. If you can get spongy soft ones, they wont hurt your ears so much. Maybe the chemist has them?
Sleep apneoa is actually quite dangerous to a persons heart and brain so he should do something about it NOW while hes still young…!!
Alternatively you can tell him that he gets nothing (*wink wink*) until he stops snoring!!

Stick blue tack up his nose it molds perfectly to stop air escaping and is also safe and non toxic.
If this fails use the blue tack for your ears not the one that has been up his nose of course.
