antisnoringdevices Give the Gift Keeps on Giving from Brez - Your Sweetheart to Stop Snor 0 Feb 24 2010, 2:28 AM EST by antisnoringdevices

With Valentine’s Day upon us it is a good time to examine the effects of snoring on your relationship. Studies show that snoring can have a significant impact on relationships and intimacy, sex life with your partner, and in some severe cases may even lead to divorce. Sleep deprivation due to a partner’s snoring can cause stress on any relationship, no matter how strong your bond. Snoring experts say some 60% of adults in the United States snore – that’s 183 million people. Research indicates that individuals sleeping next to a snoring bed partner will lose between one and two hours of sleep each night due to the disturbance; it’s no surprise that some 80% of couples with a snorer sleep in separate bedrooms. So what can you do this Valentine’s Day to inspire bedroom bliss for your partner? Here are some simple suggestions:
• Try to loose weight. Problem snoring is much more frequent in overweight people – particularly men. By adopting a more healthy lifestyle, you’ll not only be in better physical shape but also help relieve your partner from the disturbance of snoring.
• Avoid alcohol before bed. Alcohol effects your body’s control over your throat muscles when you sleep, which can trigger snoring. It’s also a good idea to avoid tranquilizers or sedatives before bedtime as well.
• Establish regular sleeping patterns. Going to bed at the same time every night will help your body get into a sleeping rhythm; this in itself doesn’t cure snoring but it will help you fall asleep faster and in most cases sleep better.
• Sleep on your side rather than your back. Modification of your sleeping position is an easy way to try and reduce snoring. When we sleep, our air passages must have enough room to avoid constriction; research shows that sleeping on your back increases the chance of airway blockage which results in snoring.

Hi Eron,

I came across your blog today. It was nice to read of someone else with this problem, although I winced at some of your stories. They are all too familiar, and I just had to write to you to say: Hi. My name is Sue, and I’m a snore-aholic. Like your wife, my husband doesn’t get much sleep because of my snoring. It’s been an issue for the last few years, but I didn’t realize it was much of a problem until recently.

As the mother of two young girls (13 and 11), my days as a stay-at-home mom revolve around their schooling, after-school activities, and all of the other blessings of parenthood. This summer, I led their Girl Scout troop to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan for a three-day camping trip. The first night, there was a heck of a lot of thunder and lightening, and some of the girls naturally began to get scared. To calm them down, I told them that thunder was just the sound of God going bowling in heaven. These girls were old enough to realize that my explanation wasn’t scientifically true, but it did help calm them down, anyway. Well the next day we spent hiking, and that night, I was exhausted and apparently snored all through the night. It was one of my less elegant moments. The morning after, as we were eating some fruit for breakfast, one of the girls said to me, “Mrs. H, you and God must have had one heck of a bowling party last night, with all the thunder coming from your tent!” They all snickered for a good five minutes. My daughters were mortified and covered their faces. The other chaperone on the trip was obviously holding back her laughter. How embarrassing!

Like you, I’m trying to find a way to stop snoring. My husband has been bothering me for some time about it, but I thought it was just his way of teasing me.

Now if only my daughters will allow me to attend other overnight camping trips!

Best of luck with your crusade to stop snoring.

Sue

My cover is blown! Last night my wife saw this blog’s URL listed under the “history” tab on Internet Explorer. I feared that she might be angry about my public quest to cure my private woes, but Marcy said it was sweet and hopes—for the both of us, I’m sure—that I can find some way to decrease my snoring.

Funny how it worked out: this morning, after Marcy returned from the doctor’s office for a routine check-up, she plopped down the latest issue of Woman’s Day magazine (September 1, 2009), and on page 68, in the “Health” section, it says, “GET HELP FOR A SNORING HUSBAND.” “Wives of snorers get about an hour less of sleep each night…” It then goes on to tell of a new product, “Brez,” which is apparently a tiny plastic thingamajig that you put in each nostril to help sleep without snoring. Marcy circled this small article and wrote on the side, “Thought this might help.” Later this afternoon, I’ll have to run out to the pharmacy and pick up a box.

There’s always a rush of excitement when I buy a new product like this. By now, I know not to invest a lot of faith without testing it first. It’s like meeting the new guy dating your sister. Don’t become his best buddy until the ring is on her finger. Otherwise everyone just feels let down after the break-up. It’s the same with anti-snoring products. The chin straps, the mouth guards, and the numerous boxes of nasal strips…They have all let me down. I mean, come on, how many varieties of Breathe Right strips are really necessary? Have you seen these lined up on the pharmacy shelves? It’s like you can pick one of ten ways to chafe your nose, spend a few bucks, and continue with the same problem. No thanks. Other friends of mine have said they sometimes help, but never for me.
