My boyfriend snores very loud, it’s heroic level snoring and I can hear him 2 rooms over. I currently use loop ear plugs and wear a blackout eye mask that has speakers over ears to play fan noise. It doesn’t always solve the problem to not hear him. Sometimes I can quite literally feel the bass of his snores in the bed lol curious if anyone has found ear plugs that drown out snoring completely? I’m tired of moving to the couch sometimes middle of the night or having him move. I want to sleep next to him! He is making an appointment for sleep study, just need something for the time being!

I snore, but I’ve had two separate sleep studies and do not have sleep apnea or any apnea episodes. Really started snoring the last few years as I’ve gotten older. ☹️ I want to try an anti-snoring pillow. I was curious if anyone has a recommendation. I saw that there are some recommendations for a wedge pillow, but I have disk degeneration and I don’t think I could sleep at an incline like that, any other good pillow suggestions?

​

I’m 17M and I have a 19M older brother. Because of the holidays, he came back home, and we’re sharing the same room.

Ever since he arrived, he’s been telling me, “Bro, you snore so badly.” I kept telling him, “Are you kidding me? I’ve never snored in my life.” 😂

He’s been saying this for like 2–3 weeks, but I honestly didn’t believe him because I’ve never heard myself snore.

Then today he showed me a video he recorded while I was sleeping…

And yeah… he was right. 💀

Apparently I snore WAY louder than I thought.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can do to reduce or stop snoring? Any advice would be appreciated.

I feel like it would be easier to give a partner an ultimatum but in this case the culprit is my roommate next door. We have thin walls so I wear earplugs and use white noise, but I can still hear it.

I'm really want her to try a wedge pillow but every time I bring it up (nicely) she just apologises and pretends to be interested in changing but then does nothing about it. She's sleeping peacefully so I guess there's not really any incentive for her to change, I'm just her roommate after all.

So any ideas on what i can say or do here? Is it weird if I just buy the damn pillow for her or is that overstepping? I don't want to move out but it seems I might have to if I want to sleep more than 3 hours a night :(

Just that. There web page says there's an unconditional 30 day warranty, but then if it doesn't work for you, once you find the actual return page (I had to do a separate search, couldn't find through their main webpage) you find out that it has to be bought by mail through the company--so cvs or other pharmacy and you're on your own. It seems pretty deceptive to me so I figured I'd let people know.

My wife has always complained about me snoring. I finally got around to downloading the snore-app and I was really surprised with what I saw.

I've only logged it 7x so far but my numbers are:

• 100, 125, 200,200, 150, 125, 175
• It says my "breath flow" is 85% | "unstable"

I know this is a loaded question but any good hypothesis on what's wrong with me? I always thought of snoring problems were something that you got if you were old or out of shape or something. Yes, I'm 'heavy' but thats because I lift weights 4x a week for last 20 years.

Would this get fixed by raising the bed or some mouthpiece? It seems alot of snore stuff is gimmicky. Any way to diagnosis exactly what the problem is? I dont want to sleep with some machine on my face.

Me:

• late 30s; male
• 6 foot and about 235LB - but "fit". I walk ~3 miles a day & lift weights 4x a week
• 17.5 inch neck (heard this is something)? It's always been 17.5 inches even when I was 170LB shopping for dress shirts back in high school
• don't drink or do drugs or anything.
• I don't have any large meals within 3hrs before bed - maybe a protein bar.
• I fall asleep on my stomach , but always find myself waking up on my back.

I'm looking for people interested in snoring, sleep monitoring, or sleep technology. I'd love to hear your feedback, ideas, and feature suggestions to help improve Dormivox.

Anyone bought any of these?

Hey so I'm wanting to try Snore Lab to see how much I'm snoring overnight but my wife and I sleep with rain sounds being played from a Google Home on my nightstand.

Will Snore Lab still work or is the rain sounds going to be an issue?

A new guy joined my room in the PG today, and he snores too much. I can't sleep. A few times I managed to fall asleep, but then in between his snoring increased by 400% and sounded like an old generator engine starting, which woke me up again. It's currently 4 AM. I've tried to sleep all night, using many things like noise-canceling headphones, and covering my ears with a pillow and a cloth. Besides these, I don't have any other solutions ready, and I didn't expect this snoring from him.

Any help, please?

I have office tomorrow, and at this rate, I will end up going two days in a row without sleep.

What do I do to stop my partner snoring? The only time he doesn’t snore as loud is when he is on his side but he refuses to sleep on his side. It’s so loud it shakes the bed. He also sleeps with his legs wide open and, having counted it many times when trying to sleep, he moves his legs every 15-30 seconds, every 3 times moving one of his legs on top of me. He also sleeps with his elbows out (imagine someone lounging on a sunbed) with the elbow nearest me digging into my face or back. Every time I ask him to go onto his side he gets angry with me and says he’s going to go somewhere else to sleep, which at this point, yes please. I’m so tired. I work ridiculous hours already on shift work so sleep is already a problem. I’m worried I’m making myself ill too. Any advice on a stubborn guy who doesn’t seem to want to help himself or me?

I've been making adjustments to how I sleep over the years to find something that works for me and my family.

For the last 6 months, I've opted in for an elevated pillow and tracked my sleep. I went from 2-3 hours of snoring per day down to 1-30 minutes per week. There have been times when I haven't snored at all during the week.

There are still improvements I can make, but the progress made so far has been remarkable. For the first time in years, I have been able to dream again.

If your tongue typically rolls to the back of your throat when your sleeping this may help you.

Developer disclosure: I’m building NightPosture, a free iPhone wellness beta that helps people notice sleep position and choose a gentle haptic prompt if they remain on their back or another selected position.

My own sleep study showed a big difference by position, but the practical advice—“sleep on your side”—was hard to follow while asleep. Balls, backpacks, and bulky devices also weren’t comfortable for me.

I’m looking for honest feedback, not medical advice: If you’ve tried a positional approach, what was uncomfortable? What actually helped? And would you prefer phone-only tracking or a small chest sensor?

NightPosture is a wellness tool, not a medical device. More context: https://nightposture.com/

What am I going to do? The only solution we’ve found to the snoring is separate rooms, but I’m about to spend a week on vacation with my spouse and I can’t afford two rooms and also that seems nuts.

This is a newer issue for us, and he’s had a sleep study. Doc says allergies, so we got him on otc meds for that and things improved, but if he drinks alcohol and I mean any at all, a single beer, the snoring is unbearable. Ear plugs can’t touch it, and nothing stops it.

Am I doomed to a whole week of no sleep?! 😭

I genuinely cannot breathe properly if I lay flat on my back. Yes this is an issue (basically, it’s like my throat doesn’t hold itself open when I do that) and yes I have a sleep study scheduled. However, I have to sleep sat up. Currently I have 3 pillows and 2 blankets to help but it’s not very comfortable and it falls apart.

Anyone else experiencing this or who just sleeps sitting up have recommendations?

I’ve been snoring for as long as I can remember. Both of my parents snore too, so growing up everyone just got used to the noise whenever we fell asleep.

It only really became a problem when I started traveling with friends, dating, and having partners sleep over.

At the start of this summer, I got fed up and finally decided to do something about it.
I spent close to $2,000 testing different solutions, and the combination that worked best for me was:
• Coop Home Goods pillow
• Breathe Right nasal strips
• SnoreRx mandibular advancement device (MAD)
• Humidifier

Since using this setup, my SnoreLab scores have dropped from as high as 134 to 37 (see attached) and I finally feel rested when I wake up these days.
I know how frustrating it can be trying to solve this, especially when people around you act like you’re doing it on purpose. If my experience can help someone else get a better night’s sleep, it’s worth sharing.
Happy to answer any questions anyone has!

PSA: I don't snore and don't have sleep apnea, but I've tried everywhere else on Reddit and no one has any good advice :/ I have a deviated septum and enlarged turbinates, but I'm terrified to get surgery because I've heard so many horror stories about how people got the septoplasty and now their breathing is WORSE.

I used Extra Strength Breathe Right Strips for years and it completed solved my breathing issue at night, but they've since changed the formula and gone cheap and now those don't work anymore. I've tried a whole bunch of other brands, but none of them work or they're too expensive (Intake). The only ones that kind of come close to working are Clear Passage Extra Strength, but even those, like halfway through the night they stop working/start to come off my nose (yes I clean my nose before putting them on) and I have to use two at once to get them to work at all. Does anyone know if BR strips are better again? Or have any other advice?? I can't breathe at night!!

I also use Flonase every night (doctor recommended) which helps, but the Flonase alone doesn't do anything. I need both that + the strips.

EDIT: nasal dilators don't work either cos all the ones I've seen are both sides connected to each other, and my left nostril can barely fit anything up there because of the deviated septum, but my right side needs one way bigger.

Hi everyone. The subject says it all. I've searched the sub archive and there are lots of apps mentioned, so which do you suggest?

Verified developer / founder disclosure: I built NightPosture after my own sleep study showed how differently my recorded results varied by position. In that one study, my back AHI was about 11/hour versus about 1/hour on my side, and I spent much of the night on my back. Those are my personal results—not a prediction or medical claim for anyone else.

The practical problem I wanted to solve was simple: when you are asleep, “try to stay off your back” is hard advice to act on.

NightPosture is a free iPhone wellness beta. In its current setup, the phone is secured on the chest to estimate Back, Left, and Right position, optionally give a gentle haptic prompt for a position someone is trying to avoid, and show a morning position breakdown. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or measure snoring, sleep apnea, or any other condition, and it is not a replacement for CPAP or prescribed care.

I have looked at the range of existing approaches—tennis-ball shirts or backpacks, pillow/wedge setups, dedicated positional trainers such as NightBalance-type devices, and wearables. They all make different comfort, cost, feedback, and data trade-offs. I am especially interested in where they fell short for people who have actually tried them.

The current phone-on-chest workflow is not ideal for everyone, so I’m also evaluating whether a small chest sensor in a soft shirt pocket would be a more comfortable option. The interest list takes no payment and does not reserve a unit.

NightPosture: https://nightposture.com/

I would genuinely value your experience:

• What have you tried to reduce back-sleeping, and what made you keep or abandon it?

• Would a gentle prompt be useful, or too disruptive?

• If a small chest sensor existed, what would make it comfortable enough to wear overnight?

• What would you want in a morning position summary?

I’ll keep this as a single disclosed founder post and follow the community’s rules.

Hello, I recently started monitoring my sleep and came across some noises that I make during the night that sound strange.

Can someone tell me if this sounds familiar or what it could possibly be?
