Those of you with S/O that snore...

I do have a friend whose husband had that sleep apnea test. He doesn't have to be hooked to a breathing machine, but he has one of those mouth inserts to sleep with. It pulls his lower jaw out just slightly and that helps keep the airway opened. He's really happy with it. And so is she.

Sleep Apena is a serious problem, please get your snorer to a doctor ASAP.

My husband & I - ok I suffered through his snoring for years before we had it cheked out....good thing, he could have died!!

This is something you should not take lightly!!

I don't have a snorer, unless you count Morgan. (my kitty) And my friend did have the sleep apena test done. I do have other family members that have the machine to help them while sleeping.

Mz Logan's been known to snore on ocassion, for a sec or two.
Otherwise, I'm as lucky as he$$. If I don't fall asleep quickly, I hear everything so if John snored, I'd have to kill him.

My brother, though, is a real window rattler, but thankfully sleeps downstairs, but I can still hear him once in a while.

My husband snores SO badly.

I would sleep in the extra bedroom in a MINUTE ... but we don't have an extra bedroom at the moment.

He got the mouth piece. It helped somewhat, but not enough for me to sleep. He refuses to go to the sleep clinic. I am SURE he has sleep apnea, but he won't hear of it.

I elbow him in the ribs so many times that he finally stomps off and sleeps on the couch.

It's absurd.

My husband snores, horribly! I finally had given up and moved into our spare bedroom just to get some sleep. Then the lung doctor, whom he sees for something else, asked if he snored. He insisted on a sleep study, which, I'm told was not a really big deal -- you don't have to do anything but sleep. The sleep study identified a rather serious case of sleep apnea. He uses a CPAP (stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine at night and after the first night was a convert.

My sister died 15 years ago of what was probably a sleep apnea episode, so we don't take it lightly. Also, we are all a lot happier at night now that Daddy doesn't rattle the windows.

Those of you with serious snorers, please insist that they get checked out. It could be killing them.
