Mindygirl 0 #1 January 14, 2003 Ok, so I have to be up for work in five hours and my lovely new boyfriend won't stop snoring!!! I've tried nudging, kicking and even doing "nice" stuff to try and make it stop but nothing is working! so, does anyone have any effective ways to stop someone snoring (other than suffocation which is increasingly tempting) I will be oh so grateful as I'm not very sweet with no sleep and tomorrow is an important day at work!!

Gawain 0 #2 January 14, 2003 Roll him to his side, if that doesn't work, shake him awake and tell him to get with the program. If that doesn't work, you can always play a PMS card, and literally push him out of bed 'till he falls out... So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

JJohnson 0 #3 January 14, 2003 Stick his hand in warm water. When he starts pissing the bed, kick him out. When he runs to the bathroom, lock him out of the bedroom. JJJJ "Call me Darth Balls" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #4 January 14, 2003 Yeah, I snore like a sunofabitch when I'm on my back, what works with me is to wake me up and have me roll to my stomach. If that doesn't work, do what happens to me sometimes, wake him up and make him go to the couch. I've done that more then once (stupid snoring).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hooked 0 #5 January 14, 2003 My idea won't help you now, but I finally gave up and got some earplugs. It took a while to find the right ones that work! It's the only way I can get any sleep! I didn't like the idea of not being able to hear anything, so, since I sleep on my side, I only put an earplug in the ear that isn't on the pillow.

riddler 0 #6 January 14, 2003 Smother with a pillow until they stop snoring. The world needs fewer snorers. Seriously, how did evolution allow this to happen? I would have thought that as the snoring cave-people were sleeping, the sound would attract wolves that ate them in their sleep.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

Mindygirl 0 #7 January 14, 2003 Maybe it would scare the wolves away....I think if this guy was one of the cave people it would have!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sangiro 26 #8 January 14, 2003 Quote does anyone have any effective ways to stop someone snoring Yes, I heard this from a man who has fought many wars and slept alongside old tired soldiers. Turn him on his back. Spread his legs. If you do this right his sack should hang in front of the air inlet. All you'll hear is a short muffled choking sound every time he inhales....

grega 0 #12 January 14, 2003 Oh just wake him up and tell him to stop snoring. or tie him down on his belly, so he won't turn to the back and start snoring all over again "George just lucky i guess!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casch 0 #13 January 14, 2003 Ok, I was a TERRIBLE snoring machine from the time I was born until around a year ago. Anyone that is a chronic snorer knows how annoying it is when someone wakes you up and tells you to stop snoring...LIKE WE CAN HELP IT! Don't tell him to stop snoring, because he can't. Just wake him up, then immediatly try and sleep, and get to sleep before him...like a race. Now, about a year ago I went to a doctor about my snoring, he stuck a fiber-optic camera up my nose to look at my adnoids and they were twice the size as normal. And that was MY normal size, and the cause of my freakin loud snoring problem. I had those removed and now I rarely snore, and if I do, it's very quiet. It scared my dad for a while because he thought I stopped breathing... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grega 0 #16 January 14, 2003 Now that's funny, because he was actually telling the truth. As you woke him up, he wasn't snoring at the moment. Oh i have another one. Put a full face helmet on his head "George just lucky i guess!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

akaGQ 0 #18 January 14, 2003 Solution: Get a bowl and fill it with warm water. Then take one of his hands and dip it in it. He'll quit snoring. - GQ ... it was the love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty ... -Charles Lindberg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #19 January 14, 2003 You know, back in Vietnam the Marine Force Recon units would make guys who snored sleep with their gas-masks on when they were in he field. But then again, there the snoring was more then just an annoyance, being in places like the Ah Shaw valley, it could kill them...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

wmw999 2,589 #24 January 14, 2003 After a couple of years with a (now former) snoring boyfriend, the only things that worked were: earplugs different rooms If he'd wear a CPAP it might help also. I'm told that Breathe Right strips help some people. If it's not serious, sleeping on the side etc, but that turns it into your problem (because it's your sleep that's disturbed) rather than his problem. Of course, if you keep jumping, you'll end up either getting earplugs or getting deafer, and either of those would solve the problem, right ? Wendy W. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
