Q&A: how do i stop my boyfriend from snoring so we can sleep together at night?
Question by a s: how do i stop my boyfriend from snoring so we can sleep together at night?
I love my boyfriend very much. He and I have been together for about 3 months and have just started spending the night together. Unfortunately, I’m a light sleeper and he snores to wake the dead. Most nights he stays over, I end up sleeping on the couch. I have bought him a stiffer pillow to prop his head and he has agreed to use breathe right strips. However, last night I still found myself on the couch b/c he was still lightly snoring with the strip on. I would try earplugs but I’m a law student and I’m afraid I won’t hear my alarm in the morning.
I am DESPERATE for anything that can help us. I really am scared that the snoring will prevent us from having a long term relationship if we can’t sleep in the same bed.
Thanks

just kick him lol then he will wake up and u can fall asleep lol
in time you will sleep through it, for now fall asleep before him, if it wakes you shake him and go back to sleep
I am surprised the band aide strips didn’t work for him. My 20 yr. S.O. snores like no one I’ve ever heard snore! Got him the nose strips & it did the trick. I’ve also noticed there is a nasal spray that is also suppose to work. I of course haven’t had to resort to that. IF he snores, I just nudge him, he turns over & stops allowing me to get to sleep before he starts in again. He also talks a lot in his sleep. I again nudge him & that also ends that. Ask your pharmacist what is the BEST thing that really would work for him, they are up on the latest remedies for OTC meds. & I use pharmacists for a LOT of questions I need answers to. Maybe you could do the same…best to you, honey, as I so well know your dilemma…:)
You know what the sleep specialists tell some people to do!!! and that is to sew a tennis ball into the back of his PJ shirt so this way if they go to roll onto their back, they will become uncomfortable and roll back on their side. Wear ear plugs because hubby can wake you up when the alarm goes off as it will wake him.
A few couples in their 50’s are having this problem now and they are lucky enough to have two queen beds in their house, so you will find quite a few couples have separate beds to sleep in because of this problem.
If he’s still snoring, despite the nose strips and pillow, he needs to see a doctor to figure out what’s causing the snoring. Odds are, it’s something simple that can be corrected, and then you can BOTH get a good night’s sleep.
stuff a hot dog down his throat, just kidding. Ask your doctor, he may have a airway blockage while he is sleeping.
