First learn to translate better, Snorking is an Afrikaans word, Snoring is the English one.\n\nThen I have found that blowing my nose before going to bed helps, and try and avoid dairy products, and booze like beer

Only when I'm sick.  My husband insists he doesn't snore, even when he wakes up in the morning to find me sleeping downstairs.  I keep threatening him with a tape recorder.

How to stop your partner from snoring may not be the best question in this case. You may want to consult doctor if he is suffering the Sleep Apnea.\n\nThere is a reason why your partner is snoring. Also, if he is suffering Sleep Apnea, he is likely to have some other health issues such as high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disease, memory problems, weight gain, impotency, and headaches.\n\nOnce he is diagnosed, there are means, such as CPAP machine (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), to help him.\n\nPlease check below link for further information on Sleep Apena. (I'd rather like to have you read more formal explanation than mine so that you can make your own judgement)\n\nhttp://www.sleepapnea.org/info/index.htm...\n\nThis CPAP machine or sometimes BiPAP (Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure) machine is a very small mechanical ventilator designed to help the patient with Sleep Apena.\n\nUnfortunately, public is not aware this serious Sleep Apnea as you find answers from others....

Treatment options for snoring and sleep apnea:\n\nWeight reduction\n\nAvoidance of alcoholic beverages, especially before retiring\n\nNasal CPAP, in which an appliance forces air at positive pressure into the patient's airway during sleep.  \n\nFor many patients, this works extremely well and invasive procedures can be avoided.  However, many patients cannot tolerate it and seek other treatments. \n\nIf a patient cannot tolerate the various masks used with nasal CPAP, a trial using nasal pillows is suggested.  For many patients, this seems to be much more comfortable than the masks.\n\nOccasionally, for effective use of nasal CPAP and to improve the nasal airways, surgical straightening of the septum (middle structure) of the nose is necessary.\n\nIf nasal dryness and/or bleeding occur with the use of nasal CPAP, applying saline nasal gel inthe nostrils prior to using the device may prevent these problems.\n\nDr. Hazenfield always recommends using nasal CPAP on a trial basis prior to progressing to invasive procedures.\n\nDiathermy palatal reduction (office procedure effective for both snoring and mild-to-moderate sleep apnea)\n\nSurgically straightening the septum (middle part) of the nose.  This usually works well for snoring, and it may be part of the recommended treatment for sleep apnea.  Also, it may help the patient better tolerate nasal CPAP.\n\nRemoving the tonsils and/or adenoids if enlarged\n\nUvulopalatopharyngoplasty (removing the uvula and part of the palate, or back part of the roof of the mouth) \n\nOther surgical procedures on the back portion (base) of tongue or through the neck\n\n"Snoreplasty" or injection of sclerosing agents into the palate (for snoring only)\n\nImplants of struts into soft palate; Pillar™ palatal implants\n\nLaser palatal reduction (for snoring only)\n\nVarious dental devices or major surgery on the jaw bones (usually for snoring only)

If it is you that is snoring, I would consult a physician, he/she may have a drug preference, that you could try. Snoring can sometimes affect your health, so whether it is you or your significatnt other, it is a good idea to consult a physician.

snoring is a sign of sleep apnia, if it is real bad then get it checked out with a sleep study

Yes Yes Yes.  Get him an appointment with your physician.  At a basic level, there are sprays that will help.  More drastic--surgery.  But, snoring can be strenuous on the heart, so treat it right away!

I suggest you try the British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association's website.  The correct treatment depends on the cause of your snoring and they have simple tests on their site that will help you find what's causing your problem and so help you tailor the treatment accordingly.  They are also very nice people so you can give them a call if the website is not crystal clear.\n\nHope that helps.

Sleep Apnea and snoring are related. If you have Apnea more than likely you snore. Not necessarily the reverse.\n\nBiting the tough, I do not think is related to the other two. Do you grind your teeth in addition to biting your tongue? If so this could be because of stress. Are you under stress of any kind?\n\nApnea can only be diagnosed via a sleep study. Your doctor can give you details. One long term complication of apnea is heart problems....I am sure there are others. There are many short term problems it can cause.\n\nSee your doctor.

You need to talk to your doctor!\n\nIf your snoring is that severe, you may have a condition known as sleep apnea.  The snoring sound could actually be you "choking" on your tongue and/or gasping for breath.  This is something that only a doctor can determine and that only a doctor can halp you with.

Don't know about how free, but snoring is something that a lot of people do and its pretty harmless.\n\nHowever, if you are having other issues like: sleepiness during the day, failure to concentrate, excessive snoring (you wake people up in other rooms), then its something that probably should be checked out by a physician.\n\nSleep apnea (*spelling*) is a serious condition with some pretty nasty long term effects on people.\n\nMost stop snoring remedies available over the counter are pretty worthless in my opinion and dont really address the issue of why someone is snoring.  There are lots of reasons but to correct any of them and feel confident you are going to be satisfied with results you need to see a doctor.

The following steps help many people who have sleep apnea sleep better:\n\nStop all use of alcohol or sleep medicines. These relax the muscles in the back of your throat, making it harder for you to breathe. \nIf you smoke, quit smoking. \nIf you are overweight, lose weight. \nSleep on your side instead of on your back. \n\nA common treatment for sleep apnea is called "continuous positive airway pressure," or CPAP. For this treatment, you wear a special mask over your nose and mouth while you are sleeping. The mask will keep your airway open by adding pressure to the air you breathe. It helps most people who have sleep apnea.\n\nIn very few cases, surgery is necessary to remove tonsils or extra tissue from the throat.

Here are some tips.\nLosing weight. Many people who snore are overweight. Weight loss can help reduce the narrowing of the airway and possibly reduce or eliminate snoring. \nLimiting the use of alcohol and medications. Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol or taking certain medications, especially sleeping pills or tranquilizers, before sleep may worsen snoring. \nGoing to bed at the same time each night and getting plenty of sleep. Snoring may be more frequent when you have not had enough sleep. \nSleeping on your side. Sleeping on your side may eliminate snoring. Try sewing a pocket in the middle of the back of your pajama top, putting a tennis ball into the pocket, and stitching it closed. This will help keep you from sleeping on your back. \nPromptly treating breathing problems. Breathing problems caused by colds or allergies can disturb airflow, leading to snoring. \nUsing nasal strips. Nasal strips, such as Breathe Right, widen the nostrils and improve airflow.

He should get an appointment with a sleep specialist. Snoring can be a symptom of a serious condition called sleep apnea. If untreated it can damage his heart or even kill him!\n\nSleep apnea is easily treated with the use of a night-breathing aid called a CPAP machine. This COMPLETELY eliminates snoring, and the user typically starts feeling more energetic and alert within a night or two of use.\n\nSnoring is not just an inconvenience - please urge him to make an appointment to be tested right away.\n\nI hate it when people urge violence towards snorers, even as a joke. The snorer CANNOT control the snoring without help. This is not something people do voluntarily, hoping to make their bed partners miserable! If you wouldn't attack someone for having diabetes or some other serious disease, don't attack them for having sleep apnea. The better approach is to solve the problem, not blame the sick person.

Dealing with snoring has a lot to do with mental attitude - but I'll get to that later - firstly let me  say ....... You big SOFTIE you ..... oh it's love right enough .... "he snores like an OLD BEAR" - not 'like a PIG' or like a lawnmower or a pneumatic drill - no, "like an old bear" - hmmmmmm what a lovely romantic image you portray - your name henceforth shall be 'little bear'.\n\nNow - about sleeping with a snorer - \n\nI complained to my (widowed) mum that my (then new) hubby was a real window rattler with his snoring and she said "I used to complain about your Dad's snoring - but I'd give anything to hear it now." That put new hubby's snoring into perspective; ever since then I've found his snoring (strangely) comforting.
