Husband Snores Horribly-Best Earplugs for me?
Posted by: Alan in Stop Snoring Remedies, tags: Earplugs, HorriblyBest, Husband, SnoresHusband snores horribly every night whether sleeping on side or back. He knows he snores, figures he has sleep apnea but won’t do anything to remedy the situation. I have no place in the house to go to for sleep-bungalow, small home. I VASTLY enjoy when I go out of town and have a hotel to sleep in as I typically go by myself to things but obviously I can’t live in a hotel. Are there any earplugs that might be of help? I typically can get to sleep if I beat him to bed but wake up a few hours later and cant get back to sleep for hours. Ideas? We have been married for over 20 years now, he knows he snores but has stated that it is what it is….

If you divorce there will be no more snoring, right? And that can be what it be. j/p. umm how about regular earplugs and do something, reading is ideal, before going to bed. That way you will be too tired to do anything BUT sleep! Good Luck!
Oh yeah, have you tried that thing you put over their noses? Maybe that’ll help!

My dad is the same way. When we’d go on vacations, anywhere, I would always try to fall asleep before him, because if not, I’d be awake all night with the snoring, so I can understand the feeling.
You can get basic foam or plastic earplugs from sporting stores in the hunting section, or from music stores like Guitar Center.
Aren’t there those breathe right strips or something similar you put on your nose to help alleviate the snoring? Pasted a link below to their website. Maybe he would be willing try to do that for you.

Search google or some other search engine for things you can buy for a person that snores. You’d be amazed at how much stuff is out there including home remedies you can try. It sounds to me like it would make the both of you a great Christmas present. Good luck!

Does your husband understand the medical consequences of not dealing with his sleep apnea? It is something that earplugs for you wont cure or make go away.
It is a very serious condition. His body is being deprived of oxygen for a 1/3 of each day.
Untreated, sleep apnea can cause high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disease, memory problems, weight gain, impotency, and headaches. Moreover, untreated sleep apnea may be responsible for job impairment and motor vehicle crashes. Fortunately, sleep apnea can be diagnosed and treated.
Sleep apnea is very common and should not looked at as something taboo. If you want him to lead a longer and healthier life, get it checked. It does have serious consequences. He should get help soon. He will feel better than he has ever felt!

Yeah, you could try earplugs…..anything for a good night’s sleep…….if they don’t work, your husband must snore terribly loud…..my husband snores pretty loud too, and we sleep in seperate bedrooms because of it. I close his door, my door and turn my fan on high and I don’t hear him at all….has he used any nasal sprays they sell for snoring? also has he been to a doctor that could possibly give him anything to help?…well, GOOD LUCK and I hope you find relief soon…………..

Oh man I have the same problem. After trying every earplug I could I finally resorted to nudging him awake when he snores and telling him if he refuses to do anything about his snoring he has to wait till I am asleep first. If you try earplugs I tried all the fancy types and found that the little twisty foam ones end up working just as well as anything else and while a bit uncomfortable, you can get used to them. Best of luck, it is so frustrating to not be able to sleep because of a snoring spouse. It makes you feel uncared for. I hope you two can work something out.

One thing that might cure the snoring fairly quickly and improve his health because of making sure he is breathing properly is to make sure his pillow height is correct and supporting him properly.
My hubby had a wide reputation for snoring before I met him. He and one of the other men from our group had been on a trip with some other men and these two shared a room. Hubby snored loudly all night, both nights, room-mate couldn’t sleep and hubby got a reputation. Fast forward a couple of years…
Hubby and I married and snoring wasn’t an issue – he hardly did. Room mate married a couple of months after us – first words from his wife about him to us after they married? “He SNORES!!” lol ! Well, I had some advice for her – check how many pillows he has because it just so happened that there were three pillows on the bed for hubby and I because I’d been trying different ones out with a stiff neck I had in the last week before we married (I was living there already) and hubby took two of them. He is a big man and when he lies on his side or back, there is too much gap between him and the bed for one pillow but two supports his head properly.
So get him to lie on the bed with clothing that lets you see what his spine is doing and give him different pillows and aim for as straight a spine as possible with his head making the last part of the spine line. This will help to keep his airways open and reduce the snoring.

I feel your pain!! My husband of 16 years this month (19th) Snores like crazy. I sometimes think he does it just to piss me off. I don’t know what to tell you except try ear plugs like I do.
