I feel like I cant breathe out of my nose right alot of the time so I bought some Breathe Right strips. They help me feel like I can breathe better but I still sleep with my mouth open. I snore no matter what position Im in or any adjustments to pillows but I mainly only snore at my boyfriends house. Im pretty sure I dont have sleep apnea because I dont stop breathing. Just really loud snoring. Does anyone know anything that could help me keep my mouth shut while sleeping or the best products to stop snoring. Ive read about chin straps, mouth guards, sprays, etc. But does anyone know if they really work??
You need to find out WHY you’re snoring first, before you can fix it. A lot of different things cause snoring. (sleep apnea isn’t one of them- it’s only a symptom that accompanies it). Do you have large tonsils? Sinus problems? Severe allergies? You can go to the Dr. to get any of these diagnosed really easily. You can try things like Flonase which is a steroid nasal spray if the problems lies in your nasal passages. (especially if it’s mostly at a different house- my first thought would be an allergy problem). But figuring out the cause is the best way to find the cure.

No. Take a look at the link provided for more information on snoring.
Snoring is the act of breathing through the open mouth in such a way as to cause a vibration of the uvula and soft palate, thus giving rise to a sound which may vary from a soft noise to a loud unpleasant sound. This most commonly occurs during sleep.
The cause of snoring is some kind of blockage in the breathing passage. Those blockages can be of many kinds—here are just a few:
Tongue falling into the throat
Allergies
Throat weakness causing the throat to close during sleep
Mispositioned jaw, often caused by tension in muscles
Fat gathering in, and around, the throat

Will wearing a neck brace at night help me to stop snoring?
I read that the neck brace will help keep the neck extended and will prevent snoring. I snore when lying on my back and also when I sleep on my side so those pillows that make you flip over to your side won’t help. Last night, I woke myself up the noise was so loud and I had sharp pains in my chest. My heart was pounding really fast and I was completely out of breath. I am scared this will keep happening and start affecting my health.
You need to have a sleep study performed! More than likely you are not only snoring, but based on your symptoms you may be having apneas (stop breathing) as well. If you are waking up gasping then it is not just snoring and there isn’t anything on the market that is going to help with that. The only proven effective treatment for sleep apnea and snoring is Cpap. If you leave this condition untreated you can look forward to heart failure, high blood pressure, low oxygen levels, stroke and so on. This is not to be left untreated. Go and see a board certified sleep physician and get this checked out before you have worse health issues later. I have answered many of this type of question if you want to look through my answers. Good Luck!
What is the best way to stop snoring at night when sleeping?
Tell me the best 3 way to stop snoring at night when sleeping?
* Sleep on your side. Prop an extra pillow behind your back so you won’t roll over. Try sleeping on a narrow sofa for a few nights to get accustomed to staying on your side.
* Sew a large marble or tennis ball into a pocket on the back of your pajamas. The discomfort it causes will remind you to sleep on your side.
* If you must sleep on your back, raise the head of the bed by putting bricks or blocks between the mattress and box springs. Or buy a wedge especially made to be placed between the mattress and box spring to elevate the head section. Elevating the head prevents the tongue from falling against the back of the throat.
* If you are heavy, lose weight. Excess fatty tissue in the throat can cause snoring.
* Don’t drink alcohol or eat a heavy meal within 3 hours before bedtime. For some reason, both seem to foster snoring.
* If necessary, take an antihistamine or decongestant before retiring to relieve nasal congestion (which can also contribute to snoring). [Note: Older men should check with their doctor before taking decongestants. Decongestants that have ephendrine can give older men urinary problems.]
* Get rid of allergens in the bedroom such as dust, down filled (feathered) pillows and bed linen (this may also relieve nasal congestion).
* Try over-the-counter “nasal strips”. These keep the nostrils open and lift them up, keeping nasal passages unobstructed.
my mom told me she and her dad arent connecting anymore. they dont kiss or hug much, maybe like once a month. They dont talk to eachother much, only when talking about me and my brother. and my dad sleeps on the couch because apparently my mother thinks he snores too loud. Iv cried so much over the fact that they act like eachother are not in the room sometimes. but my mom told me its none of my business about their marriage.
Are these signs of a later divorce? im so worried.
Afraid so. Wouldn’t you rather they be happy apart than miserable together?

My husband snores really loud and the noise keeps me from sleeping. What can he do to stop snoring?
he likely has obstructive sleep apnea. sometimes a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine can be used to alleviate the snoring, but i wouldn’t recommend doing it as a first option. first try:
1. weight loss- often just dropping a few pounds will resolve it
2. have him sleep on his side
3. if he has enlarged tonsils/adenoids he may benefit from surgical excision
4. if nasal congestion is part of the problem, try simple OTC decongestants
My sinuses clog up only when I lay down and it causes me to snore. What can I do to stop it.?
All day long I am fine. As soon as I lay down my sinuses clog up and I can barely breath. I do breathing exercises to relax my nasal canal, it gives some relief, only one nasal opens up. When I switch sides I am laying on it switches nasal passages. I believe this is the source of my snoring. What should I do?
some sort of 3rd party validation that “stop snoring exercise program actually is effective”?
I searched the web and found this program called “stop snoring exercise program “. Naturally the website itself raves about how effective it is; I wonder is others have the same glowing reports who have used it.

Ok I have no idea if I snore. I sleep in a room by myself and the last person I slept in a room with was my mom, and my mom will never tell me that I snored because she knows that I’ll stress about it lol.
anyways
Both my mom and dad snore like cows so I’m guessing there’s a good chance I am bound to be a loud snorer(again I have no idea if I snore or not)
Lately i’ve been invited couple times to sleep over but I often reject it because Im too embarrased if I were to snore they’ll see me differantly.
Ok now heres the deal….
I exercise mostly everyday, I learnt to sleep on my side but I don’t think that’s safe enough alone to stop snoring, I don’t have anything like asthma or nothing, and I never ever smoked.
Can anybody tell me any other ways I can be almost 100 percent sure I don’t snore?
Also, any way I can find out if Im a snorer???
record yourself. there are a number of factors that impact snoring, chief among them is muscle tone. if you exercise regularly, you probably don’t snore. Having a large neck (16″ or more in diametet) greatly increases your chances too. Lack of exercise contributes to poor muscle tone, but may also make you fat, thus having a large neck.
Many who snore (like 50%) have a condition called Apnea, which is actually very hard on your heart. Your parents should probably see a doctor if they snore that loud.
