So, I clicked on this thread thinking, oh i'll get some good suggestions to give to my guy for his snoring.
Snoring used to never bug me but, I have a little PTSD from it from my ex husband. So the second my guy now, starts snoring hard. I'm up, I can't sleep. He offered to move to the couch but, it's his place, I'm not making him move to the couch, that's stupid. He said to wake him up but, I can't do that either so, I kinda lay there, angry. One night, i ended up leaving, there was no point in me trying to fall back asleep, i was just getting stressed out.
After reading this thread, it is in my best interest to grab some ear plugs, eh? i wouldn't say he has sleep apnea - there is no intermittent breathing. But, I legit, cannot take the snoring. I've only had a few sleep overs with him and, i am sure more will happen in the future so, i need to be a little prepared. Any suggestions on a good set of ear plugs? Mind you, I still need to hear my alarm at 6am.
hmmm... good thinking..Noise cancelling earbuds Bluetooth’d to your phone with the alarm set
Ear plugs are rated by their noise reduction rating (NRR). Different types and styles can have quite a difference in overall NRR. Also comfort will have to be considered. The best thing to do is trial a bunch of different ones. You could go to a safety supply store and they will hook you up with a bunch of samples.
Custom fit plugs are available as well where a mould if your ear is made and the type of insert used will dictate NRR. They are pricey though.
and you still hear your alarm?Ya they can be pricey. I paid $250 for my ones I use when djing in the club. I always did want to look into the ones for sleep tho. I just use the little orange ones I get from Shoppers Drug Mart. Think they have the 33 rating. Works pretty good for me when sleeping.
yeah well... if i am drinking. i need an alarm. i don't even think i heard it this morning thats how out i was.I never use an Alarm. Im always up before I need to be anyways.
There are devices that help.
And I read that sewing a tennis ball in the back of your pyjamas helps too because it prevents you from sleeping on your back.
The specialist suggested it and I figured I had nothing to loose. Now this was about 15 years ago from my understanding they no longer perform this surgery but don’t take my word for it.@faller, how did you go about requesting the surgery. My wife has been sleeping with earplugs for years. It would be great to let her stop.
Ive tried the CPAP, Strips, sleeping on my side...….. nothing. I think the surgery would be my last resort
