I don’t but my husband snores terribly. Luckily for him, I grew up sleeping in the same bed with my grandma and the noise doesn’t keep me awake anymore!
The only time it gets on my nerves is if I’m trying to hear the TV, or if I hear a weird sound in the night that I’m trying to identify. I get irrationally annoyed for a few seconds and then say “fuck it” and go back to sleep.
My wife says I sleep so quietly that she sometimes comes over to make sure I am alive. Till now I am. She almost never snores, but she emits a very soft, hard to describe, sound. The other morning, she snored rather loudly for about 5 minutes and then subsided. I apparently used to snore up a storm when I smoked, but that was 55 years ago.
I don’t know, but probably.
My husband says I did, but since I started sleeping on a wedge pillow, I almost never do. He does sporadically - mostly when he’s congested. Once I’m asleep, I don’t hear him at all.
I do not, or so I am told. But my wife does. What do I do about THAT? I sleep in the guest bedroom. I guess sleeping in separate bedrooms is a thing now.
…if I have a cold. When I am congested, my SO says I snore. I also know I have sleep apnea when I have a cold, because I have woken up gasping a few times.
Mr. CelticKnot just started a new job today; when we get insurance I am going to look into a sleep study, and even if the insurance won’t pay for it I will get one. (Got no money now, and no cold, either, so it’s not urgent now.)
He has terrible OSA and has been using a CPAP for a few years. It hasn’t worked perfectly; he still gets sleepy during the day, but he doesn’t rattle the house with the snoring nor keep me awake to make sure he’s breathing.
I voted “Depends on” because if my allergies are acting up, I snore. If I have a cold, I snore. Otherwise not, I usually sleep on my side because, if I’m in snoring mode and sleeping on my back, I will wake up.
Yes, but I live alone so who cares.
I don’t know, but considering I almost always have a stuffy nose, I’d guess that I do.
I did, but I’ve lost a few pounds and my wife says I don’t any more.
Neither my husband nor I could ever go back to sleeping in the same room! We both get a much more restful sleep. I like to pretend we are like the rich of long ago with our separate sleeping chambers!
My CPAP includes a cellular modem that documents usage. There’s a phone app so I can see how not just how long I slept, but my apnea/hypopnea index (# of breathing stops per hour).
This info gets reported back to my health insurance, and they will deny coverage and make me buy the machine myself unless I use it for at least four hours per night.
None of which changes the basic advice: a person who exhibits symptoms of sleep apnea should talk to their doctor about it.
Just some snoring basics from the medical literature in UpToDate:
Only in a reclining position.
This is essentially me too, except I’ve had mine for 10 years. My wife got a little scared when I first started using it because she didn’t think I was breathing at all.
No, I don’t. I even had a roommate tell me once that I slept so quietly they found it unnerving. And the sound of snoring drives me absolutely batty.
I snore loud enough to jeopardize my home’s structural integrity. Untreated AHI is 61, so crazy bad apnea. CPAP never worked for me.
I’m one of the roughly 8,000 people so far that have the Inspire sleep apnea implant. Its reduction in snoring is just a happy byproduct but I’ve gone from about a 150 score with the Snorelab app down to as low as 11.
Same here. My weight got away from me and sleeping on my back resulted in snoring. I’ve since lost 35 pounds over the course of a year and the snoring completely stopped.
I snore so loud that I even wake myself up sometimes.
Apparently, I snore when I get overly tired. I used to snore when I drank but since I quit then I snore much less.
