Snoring.

I have been told that I sometimes snore like an old diesel train and probably keep the whole street awake at night.

I never sleep on my back so the old tennis ball sewn into my pyjamas wouldn't work ( plus I don't wear pyjamas). The sprays have been proven useless and those sticky strips don't work either.

There was an article in the paper the other day suggesting facial exercises - opening the mouth as wide as possible, sticking the tongue out and moving it up & down and left & right. Then humming the national anthem as low as possible. I can see this could work as it would strengthen the muscles in the throat. It might look a bit weird though..

So, Do you snore?

Have you discovered any cures you want to share?

Perhaps Mrs. Dongle could try popping the tennis ball on to the tongue quick, while the mouth is wide open?
Might work better than putting it under your back.

Re: Snoring.

Found different pillow combination has helped my husband, he lays slightly less flat and also have a little machine that puffs moisture into the air, that helps too.

Re: Snoring.

Prop yourself up a bit.

My father was a terrible snorer . His snoring used to ricochet around the house . That was until he died, and the snoring continued...... So it was you all along , Mother ?

From all accounts, like mother like daughter, but I don't believe them.

I was thinking I might try propping the top end of he bed up slightly on some wooden blocks.
