Snoring!

[splurge]

My boyfriend has never been a 'snorer' in the time i have known him. Never been overweight, doesn't drink a lot, doesn't smoke and doesn't have an overly stressful job. Recently he joined a gym and is fitter and healthier, however, he has now started snoring. It is disrupting both of us with our sleep patterns and he is waking with a sore throat in the mornings. Apart from pushing him on his side 10 times a night, what else can we do to help combat this problem? Could it be the new fitness regime that is causing this?

My boyfriends a snorer - last week we bought a few pairs of ear plugs for me and some nasal strips from Boots for him.... it's definetely helped.

As for what the cause may be... i have no idea! It could be loads of things!

Send him to a Dr, a friend of mine had a similar problem and the dr found that he had major problems with the inside of his nose!

I find that mine snores when he is really tired. & I spend most the night poking him & knackered the nx day. I suggest cellotape his mouth shut & then he will have to breath thru his nose. (joke)....try some on the sprays 1st to open the passages. Welcome to the no sleep club. :0)

Oh i forgot to mention, since snoring he has also taken to having full (loud) conversations in his sleep where he plays out both parts of the conversation (it's sometimes like lying in bed with two people, and they both keep me awake all night!)

Well at least you get entertained too!! lol.

Mine just snores... and snores..... and snores.....

It's so bloody irritating, almost like when you can hear someone "yap" when eating... the noise becomes about 100% louder!!
