digestion of food is generally a factor and eating too late causes snoring sometimes
as does late night drinking of booze or beer.
that makes you PANT like a tiger as you try to rid yourself of alcohol
faster...

there's "breathe eaze" a herbal breathing formula ...or then you can
try giving your wife a sleeping pill so they wont wake up to the sound of a pin dropping.
I got a free sample from my doctor and my wife tried it and slept excellently .....

but digestion takes allot of work for the body to do...so it's better to eat your main meal
at lunchtime and a lighter meal for dinner earlier.
doing this improves your sleep and you'll loose weight too.

Same here , wanted to put me on the machine and the wife said sleep in the basement. Then they gave a med that they treat parkinsons with . Took it on a saturday and watched the fireplace smile and talk. Hadn't had that much fun since the 60's

. Now the wife drinks the wine and sleeps soundly.

I have no problems with the machine, quieter than a humidifier and I sleep better, don't snore, and the wife can't blame me anymore for being too loud...

My wife wears ear plugs, but sometimes sleeps on the couch. The doctor told me that the more tired you are when you go to bed the more you will snore. So 1 thing you can do is get regular sleeping hours, I have been pretty good about this part. He also said I was built to snore. I am doing the sleep study first, then will probably do the Rhinoplasty for the deviated septum. I don't really want to sleep with the machine for the rest of my life.

I am sure you guys that went to Cutty remember the house was shaking, but I was'nt the only one...

I don't snore but my girlfriend says that at night I stop breathing (hold my breath) all of a sudden and she nudges me and I start breathing again? Does anyone view this as a problem?

I went through this 2 years ago. Had the same problem. Sleep apnea with a deviated septum. Did the sleep study but couldn't sleep with the machine. Had my tonsils removed. Fixed the deviated septum. They also cut my palate and electrocuted the back of my tongue (to shrink it). I now sleep better and snore a lot less. Doctor told me weight has a lot to do with it too. Lost over 25#s and have kept it off. The big thing is being able to sleep through the nite again.
