I recall several occasions that I was jerked from my slumber by the sound of my DAD snoring in the other room. He tried all kinds of things; mainly those little strips that hold your nose open or whatever. Nothing worked. My mom resorted to sleeping on the couch for a while. Hope you're able to get something worked out. There's nothing worse than feeling tired all the time.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05431248436494081319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-54440446712113887742010-04-23T23:30:40.343-04:002010-04-23T23:30:40.343-04:00Hi..I am new to your blog.

I don't mean to dash your hopes of solving your snoring problem but I do know my sister-in-law has spent several thousand dollars, several surgeries, CPac machines and snore guards..all to no avail. As a dentist, I do know some people who have had success with the snore guards. However, they come with their own set of problems. I am so sorry Johny was scared off...oh well...there is always another night!!!<br /><br />SusieDrSoosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445723747109775244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-73674989288072301682010-04-23T21:06:49.875-04:002010-04-23T21:06:49.875-04:00My husband has a Cpac and believe me I sleep much ...My husband has a Cpac and believe me I sleep much better at night!!gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00894920637532415315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-35807918526471251792010-04-21T07:14:45.428-04:002010-04-21T07:14:45.428-04:00Nancy, I am so laughing ove the dexcrition of your...Nancy, I am so laughing ove the dexcrition of yourself...sounds like me. I sometimes wake up to my hubby sitting there staring in concern because he's afraid I'm not going to wake up because I've stopped breathing over and over...I won't even talk about the snoring. He made me do the sleep test about 15 years ago. I only stopped breathing five times in what ever the time frame they were doing which did not warrant a CPAP. Both of my parents and one sister use them. One of my kids once said that Gramma scared them because she looked like an aliean at night! Good look. Hope you get some sleep. I've at least gotten to where Benadryl or a shot of something puts me out for about four hours and then I'm up the rest of the night...of course, there's always the worry of whether or not I'll wake up when I'm feeling sooo exhausted. Crazy isn't it?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-10714134602640762572010-04-20T23:48:09.110-04:002010-04-20T23:48:09.110-04:00Some people can get by with a dental appliance tha...Some people can get by with a dental appliance that keeps your jaw from sliding into your neck.

My hub had sleep apnea for a zillion years, and even after a scary episode of atrial fibrillation (after which--in the hospital E.R. the cardiologist immediately asked, "Do you have sleep apnea?") he wouldn't deal with it, because he's claustrophobic and feared he could never cope with the CPAP machine. Then after a routine colonoscopy our doctor came into the recovery room and told him that his oxygen levels had dropped so low that an alarm went off, and that was BEFORE the doctor even started the procedure! That finally got hub's attention. He's now had the CPAP for six years, and it's totally changed his life. Now he has more energy, doesn't need naps, etc. I highly recommend that you check into it-- it's so worth it. Your quality of life is at stake!<br /><br />L.Leah Rubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748324754530747231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-91502679380785853792010-04-19T22:06:08.714-04:002010-04-19T22:06:08.714-04:00Pajamas.

Thankfully my sister no longer lives with me, the punk used to get away with my dough all because I agreed to it in my sleep!<br /><br />Recently I had had trouble getting to sleep. I don't think yoga helps sleep apnea but it may help your body better prepare for sleep. This weekend I found a yoga video on Hulu called Zen in Your Den. For 3 nights now I have had the best sleep of my life! Baby-good sleep!
