Snoring is far from a simple matter.
Some people hear themselves, most don't.
Some it is no more than a minor annoyance, others it is life threatening.
I snore a little, I know, I hear myself, If I am careful how I lie in bed, it does not happen.
The handbrake on the other hand has a real problem.....even if she is rattling the windows, ( serioulsy in worst form I hear
the springs in the matress ratling) she does not hear herself most of the time.
There was even a period that she claimed it was me, what she did not realise was several of these ocasions I was wide awake and proped up on one elbow looking at her.
The brain does funny things when we are half asleep.
Chances are if you are snoring, you are not sleeping
well.
In fact a lot of snoring goes on while people are not anything like properly asleep.
The solutions vary.
Different pillow, mouthguards, nose openers, nasal decongestents or better nasal steroids, even down to the position of the feet....get the cat or dog off the bed.....the solution is different for everybody.
Excess weight is a big factor, even very small amounts of weight loss can make a difference.
Alcohol and over eating in the evening can contribute to snoring at night.
Exercise can help even in the short term...like long walk today, no snore tonight.
My Mrs can go weeks without so much as a peep...then for seemingly no reason SNOOORKK
One mate of
mine was diagnosed with sleep aponea a little over a year ago.....problem is the quacks recon he has had it for years and it has caused him heart and blood pressure problems as
well and temprament and reasoning issues from time to time.
They have gone thru all sorts of things to get him sleeping properly.....with the latest mask they recon he is sleeping properly in stretches of 2 to 3 hours and getting on a good night as much as 6 hours people sleep a night.
They have him on a
invalid pension at 45 and he just manages to keep his drivers licence......Until he got some improvement, there was a very real prospect that they where going to take his drivers licence.
SO..if you have a snoring problem...seriously....don't muck about....Face the fact you snore...if you can get improvement in pretty short order....get to the quack and get assessed properly.
