Dang 'Ole Snoring!

[chawk610]

Yep... believe it or not, I have a problem. I saw a commercial for the "Pure Sleep" mouth pieces. Anyone use these? I ordered, but can return in 30 days. I have a friend that said he couldn't get used to them. Gotta try something though. Any of yall got any thoughts on them?

And here I was under the impression you were perfect. Welcome to life as one of the rest of us.

I moved to a bedroom at the other end of the house. Problem solved

[chawk610]

LOLOL... that may be next as I am tired of getting kicked all night! Kane, that's pretty much my only flaw :)

[sandm]

Kane, that's my flaw for this week :)

hey chawk, fify.....

I would recommend contacting Maxwell Smart. he can get you the maker of the cone of silence. install one over your bed and voila.. problem solved... pm me and I'll send you his shoephone number..

[chawk610]

:) That there is funny... not near enough Get Smart references these days!!! Ok, I am guessing no one here has experience with these things.

[sandm]

or no one wants to admit it :)

my ex used to just go sleep in the other room. no problem for me :)

[bergermaister]

I'll be curious what you learn here as I am the one doing the kicking or going out to crash on the couch every once in a while. She hates it and is very self conscious about it, but so far hasn't done anything about it. Breathe Right strips help a little when she remembers to put one on. Me leaving gentle reminders gets old...

My other solution is a hefty nightcap or two or threeeeeee before I go to bed. Either way I'm waking up feeling like a zombie.

[chawk610]

oooo berg, she would kill you if she read that! :) I will be sure to report my findings to you!

Not sure its your problem... Maybe threaten her with a 3.0 model.

Somebody's going to be on a CPAP machine sometime.

Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound, due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. In some cases the sound may be soft, but in other cases, it can be loud and unpleasant. Snoring during sleep may be a sign, or first alarm, of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

[chawk610]

Yea, aware of that for sure...

Newty, no 3.0 for me, Done decided I'm going gay if this one doesn't work out! XD

[BensonWdby]

Lose weight.

[chawk610]

gee, thanks Benson

[sandm]

not sure about your specs, but benson has a very good point. when I was down to 180, my snoring was almost gone. at 200(and a few) now, it's back. not as bad as it was when I was 230, but there..

[BensonWdby]

Did not mean to be curt but was in a hurry out the door at the time.
I have direct experience with snoring vs. weight. When I got married I was about 175. When my weight went over 190 I started snoring. When I went over 200 consistently - alternate sleeping arrangements were frequent. When I hit 230 it got really bad. I have struggled with weight for a long time now, up and down. Every time I get below 190 my snoring pretty much goes away. The problem is a 'fatty uvula'. My doc told me the snoring would get better if I lost weight. He was right. He also told me that the uvula can be trimmed via laser. But if your weight stays up the problem could return. About 15 years ago the laser trimming was like $2-3K.

Ear plugs sound a lot cheaper. ;)

Those are a last resort... For me they amplify every move I make. Dragging a hand across the pillow sounds like a belt sander in my head with them in.

[chawk610]

Well, looks like I gotta fat uvula... does slimfast make a shake for that? :)

[chawk610]

THREAD JACK!

Been trying to order the Tsunami pump off Wakemakers for 2 days now... it consistently says the cart is empty... even after it say I have successfully added to cart???????? Someone give it a try and see if its me or not... I sent them an email!

[kaneboats]

You just double posted and thread jacked your own thread. That's 2 fox paws. Do you jack your own thread a lot?

[chawk610]

often as I can. Was really wanting the pump this week... not gonna happen I guess.

[bergermaister]

You didn't say which one. I think the problem is the loose nut behind the wheel.

[chawk610]

Yea... did that... they emailed back and said it happens quite a bit and that their site must not support my OS. I use XP. I was ordering the 99.00 set up. I will try it from home tonight on my laptop.

[jpetty3023]

XP is definitely the problem, why are you not using Mac?

[wolfeman131]

Casey,

Check your PM's.

[chawk610]

XP is definitely the problem, why are you not using Mac?

Our work computers are from 2004!!!!! As for Mac, always wanted one. My birthday is coming??? I can pm you my address!

[jpetty3023]

I'll get it right over to ya Chawk-:(

[chawk610]

Ha! I won't hold my breath... my fat uvula would get in the way!

[zabooda]

Maybe Wakemakers sell replacement uvulas. If it is anything like the impeller, you should replace it once a year.

[chawk610]

:) do you use the same tool to get it out?

[zabooda]

Actually, I saw it done by the three stooges. Yuck, yuck.
