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

the time that will do the trick (and improve your overall health). Or if you’re able to lose it on your own go that way.

If you can’t lose the weight (or still snoring at a normal bmi) then sleep study and >90% chance you’re on a cpap.

But I would fix the underlying issue (most commonly related to weight) if you can -

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

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

CPAP 100%.

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

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

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

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😂

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

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

Raise the head of your bed and sleep on your side

kmcougar

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I meant no offense and stand by what I said

No offense taken. Just pretty obtuse to recommend counseling…

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

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

I stopped my snoring after only losing 15lbs.

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

Don Carlton

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

Weight loss is the answer

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

Tape your mouth

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

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

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

There are lawsuits against Ozempic.
