Help me stop snoring!

[OverCaffeinated]

My wife says when I snore it's louder than my cored cans. I sleep fine, but I have permanent bruises on my ribs from being elbowed. She literally can't get to sleep and I feel really bad. I could easily google some snoring cures, but I hope some of you have some remedies that have actually worked. My wife is crossing her fingers that I figure something out.

Thanks,
David

sleep on your side.

That does help. I snore really loud on my back, but I apparently I snore on my side too.

sleeping on the side, sleeping on my stomach, breath right strips anything else that i could think of nothing worked... I finally just told my Ex GF to get some ear plugs there was nothing else i could do 

but if you do the breath right strip get the tan colored one not the clear they seem to stick better IMO

Strips: tried em
Spray: doesn't work
Ear plugs: works untill she loses them or they get funky.

Maybe I'll try both the strips and ear plugs.

No real or permanent cure I guess.

There is a surgery that they do on the soft palate that can correct this. Your general practitioner or eye, ear, nose, and throat doc should know about it. Have you seen a doctor yet?

Sleep apnea?  Deviated septum?  If it's really that bad, i'd go see a doctor and get hooked up to some monitoring equipment for a night.

becareful with oral appliances like the Sleep Pro type device - Over time it can move teeth (like a retainer does) and cause serious dental issues.

Niether my wife or I or doctors, but I wouldn't say I have sleep apnea. We looked into that, and I don't stop breathing at any point. I can breathe well out of both sides of my snozz. So no deviated septum.

Positive air systems seem a bit much.

I did mention my snoring to my Dr. and she kinds blew me off. Saying there had to be a serious medical condition in order to operate. Not just anoying ones spouse.

What about those mouth pieces I've seen on tv?
