What actually helped reduce your snoring?
Sleep apnea diagnosis and CPAP.
Second.
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
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.
Wooden pedestals may be safer for … activities … depending on how he did it
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.
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
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!
Surgery to correct a deviated septum
got rid of my ex wife
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.
Earplugs.
Getting divorced. I haven’t had a complaint about my snoring since
Sleeping on my side
Sleep on side, no snore, but rotator cuff syndrome.
Sleep on back, snore, but no rotator cuff syndrome.
I hate being old.
Sleep on belly then?
I got one of those medcline wedge pillows with the hole in it for your arm and it’s been pretty sweet.
What’s your diet? What’s your habits?
Overall improvement in diet and habits can have an amazing effect on this. Cut out all the unhealthy shit and start drinking water exclusively. You got this.
Used a folded up blanket instead of a pillow for my head. The blanket thickness can be customized to get the perfect angle to minimize snoring. I can also make it a little thicker on the sides so when I roll on my side, it also aligns my head and neck properly.
