The lady that does for me in the mornings has a OH who snores. She hasn't a spare bedroom so most nights she sleeps on the settee. Must be a misery for the sufferer.

I never knew I snored until I went on holiday with my sister - she was fit to kill me and had apparently turned me over and tried all sorts to stop me - my husband had never ever mentioned it, which made me feel awful cos if he just grunted in bed I gave him a dig with my elbow :-D

I go on holiday with a friend and we take ear plugs - I do have those nose strips and they do work

I've always snored, so it's probably just as well I live on my own!!
Except the cats, who used to sleep on my bed, have now moved to another room :-(
When I go camping with my sister, I wear those strips on my nose.

My eldest snores too. As a child, she went camping with friends in a long back garden.
After an hour, she was moved - tent and all - to the very bottom of the garden :-(

A few years ago when we shared the same ded, my wife was very poorly with
gasto enteritis. Immediately after her recovering, I went down with the worst chest infection / cold old of my life. It lasted a couple of weeks.
During this sick period we hardly slept, and never snored.

My stepfather used to snore, and my mother used to potter off to the spare room, but always went back in time for early morning tea!!
Surely snoring shouldn't be a problem for newly weds!! There's no question of us sleeping separately unless one of us is away as neither of us can sleep properly away from our own bed even if one of us is ill. So we just snuggle up and make the best of it!!

You would think a few weeks into a marriage the couple would become used to each other, but no.
Lack of sleep despite being so tired tends to make an individual very vexed

LOL Vera.You sound like me.I am often moving out in the middle of the night .Short trip along the landing with my special pillow under one arm ,my Kindle and bottle of water under the other.I go to my Daughters bed..I am so glad she lives in London :-D :-D
I think my OH would be quite happy to have separate beds as we definitely get better nights sleep apart.But I don't want to go down that road just yet.I do get a bit miffed though as it is always me who has to move out.He refuses to budge :-S

Oh swears he doesn´t snore.......he just breathes heavily.
Well, I can hear him breathing heavily through the wall.
He was banished to a seperate room a couple of years ago.
He often swears he has been awake nearly all night.
I would question that.

Magpie, I know what you mean. It would make sense for us to have separate rooms but I hate the idea. We always start in the same room but one of us often moves to a spare room in the middle of the night.

David,I apparently snore like a trooper :-S.I had to share a Hotel room with my daughter recently and she said it was the worst nights sleep she had ever had.I never heard a thing :-D.I lost count of the times she woke me up pleading with me to stop snoring.
Have you tried those strip things you can put on your nose? I don't know if they work or not.Not having ever tried them myself.My OH used to snore big time but over the last few years he seems to have stopped and I have taken over .

I would hate to be in separate bedrooms, actually I would hate to be in separate beds, and so would OH, but maybe after 52 years we're just kinda used to snuggling up together! As for snoring, we just manage!

That's lovely Vera. I'm fortunate in having the spare bedroom. When I was younger
I felt "selfish" at her not sharing the bed.
But as you get older you know a decent night's sleep is more important <3

OH's sister has sleep apnoea and has to wear a mask at night. If the snoring really is bad, do get it checked out with the doctor.

In the early days of our marriage we had a small house, two children and no spare bedroom and OH's very loud snoring regularly sent me to the couch downstairs. Even then it was like being in the path of an express train. I got so tired that one day I said if he didn't see the doctor I would leave. The result was that he had a piece of bone that was surplus to requirements removed. We all had more peaceful nights for many years.

As we have got older I find it difficult to sleep and he snores more. All I can say is thank God for spare bedrooms :-D

Get it checked out you could have sleep apnoea. Take it from one who knows it can be dangerous. Snoring can be part of the condition.

There is not much you can do about snoring, you either put up with it, use ear plugs or sleep in separate bedrooms which isn't an option for us. A Vick inhaler is quite good, but only gives temporary relief. GP could probably prescribe something more efficient, again, you'd have to talk to him/her about it.

The day my Father died I was staying in a hotel in Manchester. I was in a shared room with this other man who had complained about my snoring.
My wife phoned me to advise me of Father's death.
That night I did not snore
Strange

The surgery in your list doesn't guarantee a cure and is painful :-\

Have a word with your GP. He might be able to tell you why you snort and suggest a solution.

Apparently I snort :-(

I stopped smoking nearly 20 years ago but it didn't stop my snoring.
Heard in the next room? I can be heard in the next house :-0
