Snoring - what helps to reduce/stop it

[Bring back John Fifita]

Yep I’m a snorer. Always have been since adulthood to the best of my knowledge.

Had surgery to fix a deviated septum years ago which had drastically reduced it, but it’s come back. My missus even recorded me the other night.... geez it sounded barbaric...

So anyone got any advice on what’s worked for them or who they lie next to?

I’ve had a sleep test and it’s not sleep apnoea...

I always sleep on my side... still snore

have tried decongestant sprays, those nose bandage thingos...

Hope I don’t need a CPAP machine...

Cheers.

if its sleep apnea causing it I think you can get those Resmed machines (yes the ones Freddy does ads for)

Losing weight helps.

Maybe change your pillow, I haven’t tried it but what about those mist machines have you had a look at them, I’ve noticed to that if I lay straight on my back I snore a bit, but when I sleep on my side I stop snoring.

That's because lying on your back causes the tissue in your throat to lapse, creating vibration and noise when breathing. Lying on your side leaves space for the air to pass, unless it's more severe.

Cheers guys...really appreciate the tips n suggestions.

I’m pretty sure I need another sleep test, after the one I did two years ago suggested I didn’t have sleep apnoea...

Re lying on back/side... I always sleep on my side but still happens... on the occasion I’m on my back it does get worse..

The mist machine thingo... I’ll def look into that.

Losing weight... yeah might help although I’m “not enormous” ... 188cm/91kgs. If you believe BMI that suggests I’m overweight but so would all the players in the NRL...

That mouth guard thing... looks interesting... i did see a new dentist about 2 months ago and I got a Moulded mouth guard made up to help stop by bottom teeth grinding against my top ones... this could possibly kill two-birds...

The other thing he said is that I have “a big tongue”... more wide and height than length (sadly for my missus)..It’s not a freak show size but still, the size could be causing it to drop back during my sleep, snoring etc. But f*** knows that I can do about that... maybe the cpap machine....

@mongoose @The_Frog @Generalzod thanks again... and if anything works here I’m sure my missus would thank you too.

I got this a couple of years ago. It fits well when I am awake, but it kept falling out at night when I was asleep so I abandoned it.
I have heard great reports from everyone else I know that uses it, I'm the odd one out.

Only just. I'm 183cm and when I get over 130kg I start to snore a bit. Sleep apnea follows soon after.

I’ve heard getting a crystal meth addiction helps with snoring.

You only snore every second or third night
