    I wanted to add that I have always snored - probably has to do with my asthma, allergies, and the shape of my mouth and palate. As a child, when I was going to camp or anything, before the first night, I'd tell everyone "I snore. I know I snore. If it wakes you up, or is keeping you awake, please wake me up. I will then stay awake until I know you have gotten back to sleep.

    The one time a girl complained the next morning about my snoring, all the other girls yelled at her and said "She TOLD you to wake her up! Why didn't you?" and that was the end of it.

    A couple pf my friends snored BAD until they were diagnosed with sleep apnea and purchased sleep-ap machines. Both of them said they never realized how much sleep they were missing out on until they could breathe well through the night.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    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.

    I was going to suggest that people whos hubbys snore really bad should go get tested.

    My bf snores but only when he's on his back.

    Nope, Rich doesn't snore, thank goodness! We're both light sleepers and sometimes he'll complain that I'm breathing really heavily, but I only do it when I'm really tired!

    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.

    I use Mack's earplugs. They are soft and comfortable and work well. http://www.drugstore.com/products/pr...I-0-EVGR-49973

    Mine falls asleep in a second and snores loud enough to be heard down the street I'm sure...he he. I always wear earplugs but he can snore right through that so it's nudge nudge all night. Unfortunately he can snore in any position , I put up with it because I drive him nuts with my sleepwalking when I do fall asleep.
