Status: offline 		So I like this significant other in my life....but one big problem they SNORE! So what is a girl to do. I've done the nudging having them change positions but really it only perpetuates more snoring. So what would be the solution to this problem because I do like to be close to this person not to mention I'm a serial snuggler. Any suggestions I mean I'm sure breathe right strips might be an option but do they really work? Am I doomed to sleeping alone for the rest of my life lol. *DRAMA QUEEN*

These contraptions can run around $1100, after an all night sleep study at an observation room. Apnea is serious so they say, mostly because the patient never really gets r.e.m. sleep anymore, and periodically stops breathing many times during a single night. If he is diagnosed, you may find yourself much more unpopular with him for a while, as adjusting to one of the machines is rather unpleasant. Even tho, if an apneac, it could just save his life.

3 major sysmtoms to look for- stop breathing during heavy snoring., then resume with various strange noises during the night. waking with a headache, dozing off once sitting still anywhere more than 15 minutes.

Hope you don't end up wishing you'd just left well enough alone.

peace

MGD

Our dogs snored in the same bedroom (we were all in there together). The dogs were at least as loud as my husband. It was a virtual symphony of snoring! There were nights I just slept in the guest room because it was so loud.

And yes I do not get a good nights sleep (rarely over 3 hrs consecutive).   I have to take naps during the day.  I am tired all the time and have no energy to speak of.

Status: offline 		i agree with missturbation, try to go to sleep first. the rare times i'm able to go to bed and fall asleep first, my Master's snoring (which is very very loud and scary lol) doesn't bother/wake me. however the rest of the time i'm afraid you just have to learn to put up with it. well, unless you're the Dominant then in that case i guess you could just kick him outta bed lol.

Status: offline 		I'm a snorin sob and also have sleep apnea. Usaully I get a real good nights sleep (any partners don't..lol) and only 2-3 times in my life have I had an "attack". They are pretty scary....you wake up gasping for air and for some reason I race downstairs to the bathroom to the toilet like I'm gonna get sick? The whole time...maybe 2-3 minutes you just gasp for air. I had no idea I had apnea till my last girl would say how scared she got when I'd quit breathing... Anyways..it was news to me and I definately sleep sound...like a log. Usually I sleep seperate from my mate cause of the snoring...most can't take it. Of course the snoring doesn't bother me at all....LMAO!

Status: offline 		My Daddy has been checked for sleep apnea because of his snoring, which I guess some people he has been involved with had trouble sleeping with him. While he does snore, it does not bother me, and since I sleep mumble and grind my teeth (he told me this morning I tap my teeth in my sleep) I have no room to complain...

I would ask a doctor what can be done for a more restful night's sleep for both of you.

Status: offline 		MissyRane, Before my dom I actually listed snoreing on my profile as a limit. snoreing is actually a hard limit of mine. Unless they're just super duperly great can't live with out them in all other aspects of life, basically essentially rocking my world so much I'd be an idiot, I would reject someone  based on sever snoreing, I am not going to spend my entire relationship with them unable to sleep with them or sleep at all because someone snores. or having to go to extream measures so I can sleep. My mom is a horrendous snore'er and she's kept my dad out of bed because he can't deal with it.  She's also waken me up from the NEXT ROOM with her scale 45 snoreing.

If they're unwilling to try to find out why and do something to fix it, They would be spending the entire nights every night of our relationship somewhere else in the house NOT my room keeping me up.

Status: offline 		Does sleeping with the pillows piled up help in any way ? I sleep alone so I wouldn't know. High pillows  stop the head falling back and maybe help to  keep the mouth closed. I do pile my pillows up but I wake up with my throat "locked" and feeling a bit sore, so I guess I do snore. Nobody is perfect !

some of you have misinformation one the machine they are called CPAP  it is for air pressure that open the airway in the back of our thorats now, many think this machine is loud and you have so many hose coming from it, first there is only one hose. second it is so quiet and it has to been because the person who wears it would not get any sleep if were loud. now sleep apena is nothing to even joke about. i have a severe case i stop breath 25 time a night up to 3 mintues. before i had my machine i could not stay awake during the day i fall alseep speaking with others i lose thoughts i had no memory of when i did had these moment of sleeping i slept with my eyes open i would have dreams and began speaking to others it was a nightmare. the worst part was my breathing would stop. when they did a sleep study on me i was told how much i was losing i could had a heart or just die in my sleep this has happen to a famous football star. the last thing i worried about was what a slave or anyone would think when i wore this. it was so good to have air coming iinto my body at last. i sleep with this each night i thought one time i had enough sleep set up and i went back to a wake like state and my toguh <<<< spelled wrong, but it hung out of my mouth and i could not call anyone to help me i could not breath i could not get my mask back on but my son walk passed my bedroom and said put your mask back on this woke me up and i made sure i had enough sleep before i ever took it off again.
this is so important to wear if your given one there is no shame i love my mask infact i am in love with it is keeps me alive i have learned how to paint portiat which i never could do before it was taking my brain power away each time i did not have air i wear one for my nose i have a humider on it so water is there to not dry my nose and mouth out i have a set pressure number which only a doctor can do. i am so happy i had found out what was wrong with me and if the person you love or have as a slave or a submissive does not like this on you ,you will need to get rid of that person the machine stays. it add 20 more year to your life. it need to be wash every three days . you need to have two of everything hose mask but one thing never remove the little rubber thing under the bottom of the mask, never put the hose in the blankets with you it is the same as if you left the gas on cardon doix <<<< spelled on the oderless color gas will appear and it can really do harm . i learn all of this but live my machine as a part of me if you learn to live with it you must learn all about it . if you feel any changinges in you air pressure call your doctor or where you got the machine. and last i can not stress how important this is for those who were given it to use it you will see a differece in you thinking and how you feel i still have moment where i still must use it in the daytime but it is ok i need it and i am not going to stop using it if someone does not think it look cute i want to live normal thinking and sleeping so i hope this imformation was helpful to anyone who needed it . if you have any question you may email i like to be helpful in this type of matter
 
take care all

Status: offline 		i ignore it.  Sometimes i sit and awe and think "how cute"  Though its never loud or terrible (least to me) and he moves around so much i worry more about being squished under a moving limb then snoring.  You can always just bury your head under your s/o and some pillows.  Or em.. have some fun.... 

I've never tried shutting the jaw of one that was snoring... wonder what happens?
Nor holding thier nose......... hmmmmm
Or blowing in their ear.......
or any other numerous things.

Generally speaking if one snores.. they need to change their position.

My mother used to kick my stepfather when he snored and when he woke up - she pretended to be asleep.
