Yes,  My husband.  A good elbow to the rib cage usually causes him to roll over and gives me some temporary relief.

Buy something called Breathe Right strips. It opens the nasal airway and greatly prohibits, and sometimes stops completely, snoring.

I have fibromyalgia, and have a great deal of difficulty getting restorative sleep....I usually get about 6hrs, but it's not "good" sleep, pain in my "trigger spots" wakes me often, and I have chronic migraines as a result of my poor sleep rhythm. Praise the Lord, other than that life is WONDERFUL!   ;-)\nEDIT:\nOh...did I mention, Hubby's a big SNORER?   LOL

Having travelled extensively and shared loads of dorms in \nYHA's and Backpackers with a wide variety of people I feel I can answer this question with some authority.\n\nSnoring on the side for blokes anyway is fairly rare. Most snore on their back. When I see a person snore on their side I know that I am in for a very bad night.\n\nAnatomically the head back position promotes snoring. Sometimes a higher pillow works.\n\nBy the way snoring can be fixed by a variety of means including homeopathic, dental appliances, abstaining from an excess of beer prior to bed and losing weight

That is a perfect idea girl. Video tape it, and watch it with him. Then have your little talk afterwords, but not while your eating. lol Good luck. BTW I had a husband who snored his a** off, and talk about loud ,Man! Anyway I taped him one night, and let him hear it for his self, because he would say he didn't snore so that was a shock to him so he didn't mind if we slept in separate bedrooms. We're divorce now, I found someone who doesn't snore. That's not the reason I divorced him though, I feel in love with someone else. Chow.

a number of things it could be something as a medical problem to sleep apneia.\n\nHere some details\n\nIf you or your sleeping partner snores, you may think of snoring as merely a nuisance. However, snoring can have serious health and social consequences.\n\nBoth the snorer and their sleep partner lose sleep because of the snoring. The snorer may wake frequently, either from the snoring or from the jostling to stop the snoring. The sleep partner experiences interrupted sleep all night long, and may also be worried about their partner’s well-being. This sleep deprivation has consequences during the day: sleepiness, irritability, and lack of productivity.\n\nIn addition to problems stemming from sleep deprivation, snoring can cause more serious health problems. Snoring has been linked to increased risk of stroke; diabetes; high blood pressure; and heart disease. Snoring can also be a symptom of sleep apnea (see the Helpguide article on Sleep Apnea: Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment).\n\nRelationships often suffer as a result of snoring. The sleep partner of a snorer may resort to sleeping in a separate room, which changes the dynamics of bedtime. Snoring thus affects the physical and social intimacies of a relationship. The snorer feels isolated, and both partners are unhappy.\n\nWhat can you do? You may be able to resolve your snoring with one of the home cures provided in this article. Or you may need to see a doctor to pursue the medical treatments described here.\n\nThis article looks at the difference between occasional snoring, serious snoring, and sleep apnea; the causes of snoring; and remedies and treatments for snoring.\n\nWhat is the difference between mild snoring and severe snoring? \nSnoring is noisy breathing through the mouth or nose during sleep. Everyone snores once in a while. People snore when they are congested. Even the baby or a beloved pet may snore. Mild snoring is the kind that is remedied by waking your partner and asking them to turn on their side to stop the snoring. Severe snoring is when your partner snores in any position and keeps you awake for some of the night.\n\nIf you sleep alone, you will find it more difficult to determine if you snore a little or a lot. Some snorers waken themselves with the noise and know that they snore. Others are awakened by neighbors in nearby apartments banging on the wall in the middle of the night. If you wake in the morning and do not feel rested after a good number of hours of sleep, you may wish to see a doctor and get tested for snoring at a sleep clinic.\n\nWhat is the difference between snoring and sleep apnea?\nSnoring is a loud sound that a person makes as they breathe during sleep.\n\nSleep apnea is a true breathing obstruction, which requires the sleeper to awaken to begin breathing again. A person with sleep apnea wakes up many times a night to regain breathing, but usually remembers nothing at all about the awakenings. The sleep partner of a person with sleep apnea remembers a great deal about the awakenings and is generally a good witness of the incidents.\n\nSnoring is a common symptom of sleep apnea. Snoring by itself does not involve the cessation of breathing.\n\nWhat are the social ramifications of snoring?\nSnoring can cause problems in relationships because of the disrupted sleep of the sleeping partner. The partner’s sleep is interrupted by the loud sound. The partner may try to stop the other person’s snoring, or they may simply lie awake wishing they were asleep. Sleep partners of heavy snorers awaken over twenty times per hour, which severely cuts into the quality and quantity of their sleep. This is not just time awake, but also disrupted sleep cycles all night long.\n\nMany partners of snorers decide to sleep in separate rooms, and the relationship becomes strained. The resulting lack of bedtime chatting and physical intimacy can lead to the end of the relationship. Snoring results in no one wanting to sleep with the snorer

I'm a little less than 100 lbs and I snore loud. I don't deny any accusations, I already know I snore. I've snored so loud before that I have waken myself up.

my uncle has sleep apnia, (however you spell it) and just so you know, he has been to iraq and back and is doing just fine, it shouldnt hold you back from going, but it is always a possibility.... hopefully all goes well and you will be able to go though.

I don't sleep through them because someone turns them off and I presume it's me... I rarely do that but I did it this morning. I have an addiction to the 'snooze' button but as I use my mobile phone it's tough to tell which is 'snooze' and which is 'off'. Especially when your bed is so comfy and the outside world is so uninviting...

THis is kinda funny.\n\nyour question suggest that the norm is that two people would fall asleep at the same time, always is the norm.\n\nIn fact the question should be why do you always notice that the others are asleep before you sleep...\n\nor why do they prented to sleep until you are asleep and then run to the fridge for some late night pie...see thats better.\n\nten points please.

That's quite normal. I do too.\nSome people need complete quiet, some need the hum of a motor to sleep.

good question!  My sisters use to have me sleep in their room every christmas eve... because they were afraid that Santa would come and spy on them while they were sleeping!!!!  We laugh about it now!

I snore when I'm really exhausted. I also groan or whisper at times. Also, depending on my food intake, I know I fart up a storm. \n\nYes, sleeping with me must be a horrifying experience.

First of all you might be able to talk to the noisy offender or your gf's mom or have your gf talk to the bf. Perhaps he doesn't realize he's that loud. If that doesn't work do what I do: Go to WalMart or any drugstore and buy a $2 bag of earplugs. They really work well. I had 2 back surgeries a few months ago and am unable to get to sleep early, therefore I cant get up early. I will be on bedrest for about 9 more months. My husband takes our kids to school in the morning since I am unable to drive now. Anyway, my kids (5 of them) make SOOOOOOOOOO much noise in the morning!! After using the earplugs I don't hear them either at all or I hear them only slightly and am still able to go back to sleep. If the light bothers you try buying a "sleep mask". I believe you can buy those at a drugstore too. I know you're a guy but there's no reason to think they would make you look weird. I've seen guys wear them on airplanes and it really wouldn't matter in your case because you're not on a plane, bus or train. Good luck, I really feel for you!!
