I growl at Russ somewhere between 5 and 10 times a night to try to stop him snoring.

It's truly awful.

I have ended up sleeping on my sofa before now cos I just can't sleep. And he refuses to keep the chin strap on even though it might work AND causes much amusement...

Very selfish I say ;)

My GF won't wear a chin strap either.....but that's a different story :erm:

:p:

Makes interesting reading. I'm a very loud snorer, which is causing problems when my daughter stays over - a hyperactive 2 year old needs her sleep! I'm currently on the waiting list to see a ENT specialist as it looks like surgery is the only option. I'm not overweight, I don't drink or smoke and I snore no matter how I sleep, on my back or front. I've tried chin straps, sprays, all kinds of suggestions so it seems I'm left with the laser treatment to zap my palate. Yuk!

Speak to your dentist about anti-snore devices such as Therasnore or Silensor.
These are very effective (>80% success rates - better than surgery, not to mention a hell of a lot safer!). They work by holding the lower jaw in a slightly forward position relative to the upper jaw. This pulls on the tissues of the oropharynx (those around the tonsils into the throat) making them taut rather than hanging loosely. It is air turbulence around these tissues, and the vibration produced in these tissues as air passes over them, that produces the snore.

Both the above systems are adjustable, so getting just the right fit and tension on the tissues is easy. You'll be looking at about ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£200-300 for the above systems, 1-2 appointments, and nothing nastier than impressions of your teeth. They work from the first night and should last several years before they would need replacing.

Hope this helps!

Oops - forgot to say: some jaw types (think Jimmy Hill) are not good candidates for this type of device. I also have the appropriate qualifications to suggest these devices before anyone asks!

Learn something new everyday! :tu: :)

Some mild TMJ effects have been noted, but these are usually related to a device set too far forward. This is why these devices acn only be obtained via dentists - they do require proper assessment of the patient. :D

I dearly wish there were but sadly not. If I can ever get him to wear it again I will try and capture it for posterity.

You know what? I think that this is all a little unfair.

Snoring isn't funny, and it's certainly disruptive in relationships - I hardly think it's fair to be making jokes at Russ' expense here guys. Let's have a little compassion eh?
