Help with snoring? :-P
| Sat, 09-30-2006 - 1:35am |
Hiya! I wasn't sure where to post a question about snoring, so I thought here might be a good place. Ladies, how do you deal with a mate that snores? I love my boyfriend very much and would really like to fall asleep at night, but he's a cute, slightly hairy, Russian galoot and loud snoring runs in his family. We are currently dealing with ED difficulties and so I think being able to sleep together at night would really help things! Any tried and true methods you have used?
We tried the Breathe-Right strips, but I'm not sure we tried them the correct way. Do they actually work? Thank you for any help!! :-)

See if he's open to getting tested (sleep study) for sleep apnea. Apnea is hard on the heart, and actually is thought to cause all kinds of issues, including ED.
How old is your galoot? Does he smoke?
Yeap, absolutely. Sleep apnea is common in those who are overweight. Does he have a lot of weight around his face, neck and shoulders?
If so, get that boy on a diet!! It can really help with a certain type of apnea. Then, you can have peaceful dreams.

No really good suggestions. The operation to decrease snoring is pretty much not a cure-all, although it works in some people.
I still recommend the sleep study, when you guys have good insurance. It might save his life since apnea is very hard on the heart. It can come from all sorts of causes (weight, age, smoking, drinking alcohol) but it's also inherited. And it can be treated.
Roll him over for now. Good luck!!
