Couchbound ! !

Post Reply New Topic

So I'm exiled to be Couchbound due to my terrific snoring. I'm SO sore from it too. Does anyone know of a cure that works so I can sleep in a bed like a normal human being next to my spouse instead of the dog? It even bit my foot in the middle of the night - probably because of the snoring..... Please help. Thanks!

If you're snoring is as bad as you describe it, see a doctor if possible. You may have more problems than just being loud. The kind of problems you don't wake up from.

I snored. It was described to me as a piece of ham stuck in a garbage disposal that was being turned on in bursts. I ended up going to my doctor and was referred to a neurologist for a sleep study. Found out I was only getting 60% of the air I needed. I now use a cpap, and my sleep and energy have improved. I also don't snore while using the cpap. I also found out I have a smaller than average throat for my size, and my tongue sits higher and farther back than the average.

Go see your doctor if you can.

Look up Sleep Apnea and see a doctor.

I agree that it could be sleep apnea. My doc thinks I have it & suggested I get a sleep study but I have a deviated septum(the inside of my nose is a little crooked) which could be causing or contributing to it. I'm getting surgery to correct it in alittle over a month. I'll probably see about a sleep study sometime after I recover sense my GP & ears-nose-&-throat doc think I should get one.

If you wear PJs then sew something about the size of a table tennis ball right where your shoulders are. That way, everytime you roll onto your back it will feel damn uncomfortable and you'll roll onto your side again.

Or, see a doctor.
