Can’t hear them snoring if I’m asleep too.
Your life insurance rates go up if they find out.
My wife snitched on me to my doctor, I had a sleep study at a clinic, and now I use a CPAP machine when I sleep, which supposedly helps.
Do you feel more rested now or notice any difference?
Been on it for a couple of years. It’s a difference like night and day. You don’t really notice how fucked you are by the apnea until you are not.
I’m not the person you asked, but I’ve been on my CPAP for a year now. Yes, it does what they say, but I hate it with a passion. She can sleep, but now I wake up 4 times a night feeling like the damn thing is suffocating me.
I haven’t noticed any difference from before, but my wife has stopped nudging me awake to get me to stop snoring.

Is this some sort of American joke that I’m too European to understand?
Excuse my over used joke, but that cant be true?
Life insurance isn’t health insurance. It pays out when you die so your family isn’t fucked over by funeral costs and the sudden loss in income.
Its rather obvious that the other guy meant health insurance. I didn’t even notice the different word they used by (presumably) accident, I guess my brain auto corrected it lol. But thanks for pointing that out.
I’m fairly certain he meant life insurance. In the US under the ACA, charging people higher premiums or cancelling their coverage due to pre-existing conditions is illegal
Oh okay. The more I learn about the insurance system over there, the more confused I am.
But I’m confused anyway so its probably a me problem.
As an Aussie I’m glad to have free healthcare.
I bet that’s even louder than snoring.
Yep. Once.
Make it twice, just to be sure
Yeah, the
gifis just a representation of what I feel at the time. What I actually do is kiss her on her cheek, whisper in her ear that she’s the most beautiful person in the entire universe, upon which she smiles slightly which in turn disrupts her snoring. Bada bing bada boom.Where do i sign up for this
I am not accepting applications at this time. But when I open shop again - whenever I manage to manage my depression -, I require the following: strawberry cake.🍰
…it worked for my cousin’s girlfriend; didn’t work out so well for my cousin although he doesn’t snore anymore…
I gently poke/push her until she moves or wakes up
Every time she says she didn’t sleep well, I apologise for snoring just in case.
Every time I’m awake in the night and she’s snoring, I just try and ignore it.
I don’t, neither of us snore.
I nudge him in the ribs and tell the spouse to roll onto his side. When it’s bad like when he’s got a cold, I hit the sofa. He will do the same.
I got used to it. It used to keep me up, but now I hardly even notice it.
Same
I had deviated septum surgery. Took 2 years and $20k but breathing through both nostrils for the first time in my life was worth it.
By poking me so I lay slightly differently so I don’t snore.
Significant other needs to get treatment. CPAP, for instance. Lose weight, if applicable. Surgery if necessary. Address the root of the problem because it can be a significant health issue for them, while also impacting your health via mechanisms related to lack of restorative sleep.
If it’s just a once in a blue moon thing, and waking them up / having them change positions doesn’t resolve it, I will go sleep in another room, put in ear plugs or listen to some relaxing music with earbuds in to drown out the snoring.
What if they can’t find a root cause?

i snore louder back.
gets them everytime.
then we both go back to sleep.
Earplugs.
Snoring is most commonly caused by ectopic fat in the airway, which is driven by a impaired metabolism (96% of adults). The good news is the body really does not want fat in the airway (or in muscles, or the liver, or in the visceral cavity), and this often resolves in a few months after fixing your metabolism.
I used to snore very loudly, extremely so. Doing low carb for a few months resolved my snoring (and many other things)… so I was still very fat but not snoring anymore. Which is a win.
