Go see an ENT about your deviated septum. and get evaluated for sleep apnea too

machete

This. They went in a fixed it, did my adenoids & tonsils.

Definitely check for sleep apnea. Could have other health implications as well.

Sleep in separate rooms.

Until you figure it out do this. You/her has have to have sleep

I love CPAP.

notaboy

Jul 13, 6:40am

Seriously, CPAP

WhoisJohnGalt

Jul 13, 6:42am

CPAP 100%.

Similar. 6'1" and when I dropped below 200 my snoring completely stopped.

I am/was in a somewhat similar situation.

Just be aware the oral device will eventually mess up your bite

Not true.

I’m an orthodontist and see it all the time. May not happen in every case

BYUCLA

Jul 13, 8:05am

I meant to say that I've never ran across that... Yet. Hope it doesn't happen to my patients. But I went to USC, soooo😂

kerm

Jul 13, 8:19am

That explains a lot - you can guess where I went based on my name

BYUCLA

Jul 13, 8:27am

Are you an actual orthodontist? bc BYU doesn’t even have a dental school.

You haven’t seen it before. Any posterior open bite or wierd malocclusion I

Yep happens almost universally. Very damaging to occlusion but I guess

Raise the head of your bed and sleep on your side

kmcougar

Jul 13, 6:48am

Maybe your wife should see a counselor while you get a sleep study

chismoso

Jul 13, 6:56am

Yeah, the reaction of crying due to snoring is more concerning than snoring

CocaColaRecovery

Jul 13, 7:24am

Depends if she has been getting zero sleep we do delusional things

cougarfann888

Jul 13, 8:35am

The snoring isn't making her cry, the inability to fall asleep is.

russkiejedi

Jul 13, 9:27am

Crying is definitely normal. Long-term exhaustion coupled with repeated

Nittany Cougar

Jul 13, 9:33am

No its not normal when you can easily get up and leave to sleep elsewhere

chismoso

Jul 13, 12:24pm

That doesn’t solve the problem. It builds resentment.

TeeKaa

Jul 13, 2:59pm

How about both. Is crying the best option here for an adult?

chismoso

Jul 13, 8:11pm

Sure, Possibly it’s her way of coping with a tremendous lack of sleep

TeeKaa

Jul 13, 10:37pm

How bout she is massively sleep deprived, rather than striking out at him she

TeeKaa

Counselling might be part of a wholistic approach that could

sammyh72

Jul 14, 7:34am

This response makes me sound like a yuppie, but why not use any tool available🤷

sammyh72

Jul 14, 7:36am

Let’s solve the known physical problem first-then we can go after the crazy wife

TeeKaa

Jul 14, 1:55pm

I don’t disagree that the snoring should be addressed first and that will help

sammyh72

Jul 14, 10:23pm

Appreciate the sincere concern and I’m a huge advocate of therapy. To clarify…

CornfedCougar

Jul 14, 10:52pm

My response would have been to smother him in his sleep

LevZloi

Jul 13, 9:26am

Most people would just leave the room and sleep somewhere else. Not just lay

chismoso

Jul 13, 12:23pm

You must be one of those lucky people who can sleep anywhere.

Clown comment

CornfedCougar

I meant no offense and stand by what I said

chismoso

Jul 13, 3:26pm

No offense taken. Just pretty obtuse to recommend counseling…

imdocrob

She uses ear plugs, I use a CPAP.

John Doe

I have to sleep on my side

Did food allergy/sensitivity testing and eliminated anything marked as high…

LumberCoug

I use cpap. Life change . Not over weight . We have a white noise machine also

barebones

Jul 13, 7:20am

I’d suggest losing 30-40 lbs before trying anything else. Easier said than done but for most ppl that will solve it and

delux_247

Jul 13, 7:39am

Also, I had a deviated septum which I had a surgery for. Didn’t make a difference for me but of course YMMV

delux_247

Jul 13, 7:40am

I stopped my snoring after only losing 15lbs.

1manwolfpack

Jul 13, 9:26am

Does afrin alleviate the snoring? If so maybe pursue that deviated septum issue

Don Carlton

Jul 13, 7:54am

Tape! If you're a mouth breather/snorer.

BlueKarma

Jul 13, 8:00am

Weight loss is the answer

DavisCoCoug

Jul 13, 8:08am

this... if the real issue is that someone is morbidly obese.. then fix that first.

HarlemCoug

Jul 13, 8:12am

Tape your mouth

Bexell_Hall

Jul 13, 8:24am

Mouth taping helps me, and micropore tape is cheap and works fine

Rize Alloyal

Wedge pillow helps me.

I would do short-term therapy with Ozempic to lose 20-40 lbs. majority of the

Bad advice. Do not use ozempic.

Grock

Jul 13, 8:36am

I'll bite. Why?

PGVikingDad

Jul 13, 8:51am

because you're cheating. Just kidding. Do it if needed.

qwerew

Jul 13, 12:32pm

It’s like telling someone to take steroids to get ripped. It’s not good for you.

Grock

Jul 13, 6:59pm

Why?

PGVikingDad

Jul 13, 7:28pm

There are lawsuits against Ozempic.

Gotta drop evidence man.

Lose 20 lbs and there's a good chance it improves significantly. If not get a

The deviated septum surgery is very much worth it. That's a huge start

I slept on the couch at the beginning of my marriage until I could get a sleep

sleep study. Mouthguard maybe. Cpap likely.

We sleep with a fan on. White noise is great for this
