What actually helped reduce your snoring?
Getting tonsillitis and having my tonsils removed.
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.
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.
Sleep apnea diagnosis and CPAP.
An anti-snoring appliance made by my dentist. Works great. Wife gets upset when I don’t use it.
Pushing spouse from back onto side
Yuuuup lol
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.
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.
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
Surgery to correct a deviated septum
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?
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.
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.
