i'm a girl who snores. the husband is a sensitive sleeper and wears ear plugs. got tired of me slugging him after him constantly "rousing" me. tip: she may be apologising but she secretly despises you for waking her. 

Most of my previous boyfriends were big snorers. I never thought there was much of a point in disturbing their sleep because they happened to disturb mine. Remember, she is not doing it intentionally.

Try those things you put on your nose and it opens the nasal passage.  Cant remember  what call them. You can get them from Boots

Hi, My husband hadn't slept in my bed for a few years because my snoring was keeping him awake. I had tried the nasal strips and sprays nothing worked. Then during a dental checkup I mentioned to my dentist that my bite seemed different. He confirmed that at the rate my teeth were wearing/loosening I must be grinding my teeth when asleep and fitted me with a clear plastic gum shield to wear at night. Hey presto no more snoring I was cured. It took a while to get used to wearing it and had to put up with all the boxing jokes but worth it for a good nights sleep.

I have a thing that is worn on the wrist.  The idea is that it moves when it detects a snore, and induces the snorer to change position without waking.  Don't know if it works as I no longer have the girlfriend who was affected.  I am now told that it is not a problem, so it is still in the cupboard.  It cost �9.99 (forgotten where) and it is made by International Business Products Ltd., Bolton - 01942 819695 or [email protected]

If the snoring is a big problem - then see a doctor - it can be a symptom of sleep apnoea - when you stop breathing in your sleep. I have to use a machine to keep me breathing - it started as a few loud snores and got very scary before I was diagnosed
