What actually helped reduce your snoring?
Earplugs.
Sleep apnea diagnosis and CPAP.
Second.
Breathe Right strips worked for a bit but weren’t effective long term. Eventually got tested for sleep apnea and ended up with a CPAP machine.
Never start a headline with “Anti”
People who read it wonder what the n and the t are doing there…?
/s
what?
the person you replied to is making an impotent joke about how all anyone posts about is AI. anti -nt = ai
I won’t say it makes sense, but I get it now lol. Thanks!
yeah it’s unrelated and unfunny. i understood what they were getting at because i too make unrelated and unfunny jokes sometimes.
adjustable bed to sleep at an incline, or if i’m on vacation in a hotel i make a T-shape out of the pillows to incline as best i can from the waist up. if my sinuses feel clogged at all before bed i might take a claritin or something. exercise to get rid of some body fat also seems to have helped.
My snoring appears to be dust / hayfever related.
I wash my bedding regularly, vacuum my bedroom regularly, also under the bed, and have a shower before bed.
It appears to have reduced my snoring.
PS. CPAP didn’t work for me, made things much worse.
How could it make things worse? They have dust filters
It caused the lining in my nose to swell which in turn blocked my nose, which caused me to breathe more through my mouth, which caused me to choke and wake up explosively gasping for air. It was not fun … at all.
Over the period of seven days I tried several different masks with the help of my local sleep clinic who initially tested me via a full sleep study, then fitted the masks and evaluated the CPAP machine data.
CPAP isn’t a universal “fix”, which is what I was told about before going into the trial.
A sleep study would probably be a good idea just to make sure you’re not stopping breathing while snoring - AKA obstructive sleep apnea. A sleep doctor may even have some other ideas like custom dental appliance or things other commenters and I aren’t aware of.
CPAP worked for me, dental appliance did not, nasal strips never worked
Losing weight and not drinking alcohol.
So you’re saying it’s not fixable?
Losing weight is shockingly effective.
I’ve seen it in my whole family. We’ve talked about it. Snoring for us follows a clear pattern - gain weight, snore more. Lose weight, snoring goes away.
Drinking - same thing.
Pushing spouse from back onto side
Yuuuup lol
Getting divorced. I haven’t had a complaint about my snoring since
An anti-snoring appliance made by my dentist. Works great. Wife gets upset when I don’t use it.
Seconded. I got a mouth guard to stop grinding my teeth and since using it my wife (and smartwatch) suggest my snoring has stopped. Double win!
My dad made some wooden pedestals to tilt his bed at a 30° angle. That completely dealt with his issue
Or pavers.
Honestly I’m not sure why he didnt use cinderblocks. They would have done the same thing.
Wooden pedastals might look better depending how he did it.
got rid of my ex wife
Bipap works wonders for snoring. I fucking hate the thing though.
Others have had luck with removal of tonsils/adenoids but that can be really rough as an adult.
