I snore pretty loud sometimes and my gf isnt likeing it at all. Any ideas or anything I can do to maybe try and help me not snore so loud for her??

Make her sleep at her own house .

Get a C-PAP machine for yourself, and ear plugs for her. My wife snores badly, and had a sleep study done. She's got sleep apnea, so they prescribed a C-PAP machine for her. Now, she doesn't snore, but the mask doesn't sit tightly on her face, and it sounds like I'm sleeping next to an old steam radiator. So, I got some good earplugs. Problem solved.

Give her ear plugs?

Sleep on your stomach. I snore like crazy when I sleep on my back, but not at all when I roll over. Works for me anyways.

Don't sleep on your back. Like said above you stomach is best, side is better than back.
Could try the nasal strip thing athletes use to open your nose, depends on what causes your snore.
Can also try more pillows if you have to sleep on your back try getting your head up higher, seems the more it tips back the more you will snore.

Does it ever wake you up, or do you stop breathing between snores? If so go get it checked out as this oxygen deprivation is not good.

I snore. I told my wife to get ear plugs or sleep on the couch. She got ear plugs. I guess I got it like that.

(The above is a total fabrication. If you believed it, then I have some property in Iraq I want to sell you. Anyways, I don't mind sleeping on the couch.)

I snore pretty bad too. I'm asthmatic and my father snores so I guess I get it from him also. I've never had to share a bed with anyone so I've never looked into what can be done to stop it since I have had no trouble with apnea or it waking ME up, haha.

Well I know that the next morning when I wake up after snoring bad the back of my throat hurts if that helps anyone help me...

-Sleep on yer side
-Try the nose strips
-lose some weight, ya fatty!
-get checked by a doc for polyps
-Tell her BJ's prevent snoring (worth a shot)

Do you wake up tired? if so, get tested for Apnea...

Mine didn't fall for that one, but I would try it first, second, fourth, and so on.

bjs help a lil. her idea. i dont wake up tired. i usually sleep on my side. she freaks if we dont curl up all night so im always on my side when i sleep.
I am 5 foot 6 and 190. Dont think im really overweight. Im mostly muscle also. She doesnt want me to use the nose strips cuz she feels bad. Lol.

i seen an ad for a mouthpiece that makes your lower jaw protrude out farther and that's suppose to help you stop snoring. a coworker just tried it but i forgot to ask if it work. CPAP machine will definitely stop the snoring, if you do stop breathing during your sleep get it check out, you can die from sleep apnea.

MY wife firmly believes the pillow held down over the snorer's face works well. I'm not so in favor of it though.

My mouth use to fall open at night, I put a small band aid on the center of my mouth to hold it close. After a few weeks I didnt have to use the band aid anymore.
Breathing out of your mouth will cause more than just snoring problems, you will dry out your gums as well.

I use the band aid because it only covers the center of my mouth and if my nose plugs up I can open my mouth with a little effort.

There is a laser treatment for that, but the insurance company will still require a sleep test first.

I went to the doctor to ask about the laser thing, but my case was too severe for that. I had to go under the knife.

Lack of oxygen causes (more) brain damage . Get it checked out.

I didn't tell my wife to get earplugs... But I did hand her some. She took the hint and uses them.

Edit to add: It does go both ways though. There are plenty of nights I'm the one using the earplugs.
