How to Deal with Your Spouse's Snoring

Snoring is something that millions of Americans have to deal with on a regular basis, some every single night. There are many causes and just as many "cures". Over the last thirteen years I have tolerated my husband's very loud snoring. Over those same thriteen years we have tried many different tricks and products to help stop his snoring. Here are a few of these tricks and products that I have used and have found to help deal with your husband's snoring.

Nasal Strips- I'm sure that you have seen these advertised on television and/or seen them on the shelves in your favorite drug store. I've talked to many people who say that these strips do not work for them but I still had to try them out for my husband's snoring. The thing about the nasal strips is that you stick them over the bridge of your nose and they are kind of spring loaded so they pull the nostrils open a little bit more. This is suppose to help with air flow, which in turn is suppose to help reduce snoring. I tried a name brand and a store brand and it turned out that the store brand nasal strips worked much better on my husband's snoring than the more expensive name brand. So if you try these you might want to try another brand if the first brand does not work on your snoring problem.

Decongestant- Snoring can be caused by sinus drainage and/or illnesses. So taking a decongestant could help greatly to reduce your's or your husband's snoring problems. My husband has sinus troubles in the spring and autumn so he has to take a decongestant on a regular basis in order for either one of us to get a good night's sleep.

Air Temperature- The air temperature in your home could have an effect on your sleeping habits as well as how much you and your husband snore. Aire temperature should be cooler at night than you keep it during the day. We like to keep our home about three degrees cooler at night than we do during the day. If it's too warm in the house it really messes up our good nights sleep. My husband snores a lot more if he is hot and sweaty rather than if he is cool and comfortable. So try lower your air temperature if you have a problem with snoring and see if that helps.
