    I snore pretty loudly, have since I was a kid. doctors told me I have “overdeveloped adenoids” and pretty much always will. it doesn’t bother me, but for my partner’s sake, I’ve tried a few things.

    nasal strips didn’t really do anything. the mouth guards are incredibly uncomfortable and I’ve heard they can loosen teeth, so I finally broke down and tried mouth tape. it works pretty well. it improves my sleep a little and my wife’s quite a bit. the name brand stuff is expensive, but it’s basically just KT tape.

    I keep plenty of that on hand for sports injuries and now I just cut a piece into little strips and it does the job. although, according to my wife, I still manage to honkshoo mimimimi a bit out the sides of my mouth.

    Every time she says she didn’t sleep well, I apologise for snoring just in case.

    Every time I’m awake in the night and she’s snoring, I just try and ignore it.

    Snore louder to assert my dominance.

    But for real, you do get used to it. I’ve found I don’t snore as loudly when side sleeping vs on my back. I need quiet to get to sleep but not to stay asleep, while my partner will tolerate some noise. So I usually try to fall asleep first and things work out.

    If I don’t, I usually have a tough night. ☺️

    A nudge usually does the trick. Sometimes a gentle push is needed.

    And when I shared a bedroom with unsignificant others (army), whoever snored got army boots thrown at them. Not recommended for significant others.

    If you’re sleeping with a partner who snores, get them to get a sleep study done. If they have sleep apnea, the snoring is the sound of them dying slowly.

    Slightly pulling the pillow can work if the person isn’t a horrible chronic snorer. Making a person move their head while sleeping will often make them adjust their whole body readjusting their airway and that can both help them sleep better and snore less but it only works on light to moderate snoring, people who are super loud when they sleep probably have something going on that isn’t just position of sleep.

    I mostly sleep through it else a nuzzle-nudge does the trick. I can hear that she hasn’t woken up during the whole thing.

    I just kinda gently jostle her a little until she stops. Its usually about the angle of the head in my experience (at least for my wife!)
