Does you or your mate snore?  

Well he did but we found out that he sleep apnea so now he has a machine and a mask he wears and he is also on oxgen,so the oxgen comes through the machine for his sleep apnea.

yes my mate has been snoring all of his life. Even as a child. I don't know if he has been tested for sleep apnea or not. He doesn't complain about it. Never talks about headaches or feeling tired etc.

Actually both my boyfriend and I snore. I snore because or colds and or allegories. I have been tested and basically that is what the doctors have told me. My boyfriend snores but not to the point that it disrupts his sleep nor mine. I do not think he has very been tested nor will he unless he does something like stop breathing while he is asleep and I notice it. He would have no choice but to see a doctor at that point. My old house mate had, might still have, sleep apnea and had to wear a mask when she went to sleep.

Your threads its helpful to my husband and he have some symtoms thats similar.I do really scared when he snore so loud and it seem he breath too long.I'm thinking maybe because he is tired and hard working man.I like to stay away from him when he do that but I didn't so I can keep him awake.Thanks for letting us know about this topic I know lots of people have some problem like this...and by this topic we learn some.

well this one is two sided we both snore..John snores very loud and apparently so do I.we now sleep in separate beds so we both get the rest we need .I have a sleep clinic April 19 th to check for sleep apnea and I sleepwalk too. and I have had and episode where i have stopped breathing during sleep. so it will be good to know how those tests work out.thanks so much for writing such an informative post
hugs

My husband has sleep apenia and he was tested and now sleeps with a c pack, The out come is we all get a great nights sleep.
It has made a very big difference in his awareness during the day.
some nights he dosnt use the machine but on those nights he uses a breath right strip those are also great well anyhow they work for him.

My partner snores. He went to a sleep clinic some time ago - he stops breathing several times a night. I had told him long time ago that he did this - and he told his physician. The doctor said it didn't sound right - but it was right! i am glad he went to the sleep clinic.

They might operate, but they want to wait and see for a while. he is currently loosing weight - that helps a lot. He has also gotten some spray that he is to use every evening, + he uses Breath right strips to open his airways.

We sleep in seperate rooms most of the time anymore. Neither of us gets good sleep if he snores - I become frustrated and loose my sleep - I wake him up trying to get in to change positions etc etc

im not sure... i don't observe myself after i sleep.. wow.. u do know alot of sleep disorder thingy huh? i just know i always open my eyes out of sudden while i am sleeping. .it's like.. erm.. a dream.. lol

Thanks for the info, I too am the snorer of the family, my Mother was a huge snorer and as a child we used to kid that we could hear her down the street, now I seemed to blessed, not as badly, but yes, it does cause problems in my relationship. I have been with my boyfriend a year and we have lived together for the past 6 months but last night was the first time he ever said to me that he needed to go to sleep before me cause I kept him awake all night, I doubt he would ever go to the couch to sleep, but he would remind me the next day at how bad I made him feel to sleep or not to sleep through my snoring.

My partner is a snorer, however i will not seperate us, i dont believe in sharing seperate beds, bedtime is a very intimate time and for bonding also, so i will wake him up and tell him everytime he snores, i find that i only have to do this within the first half an hour of him going to sleep as he then rolls on to his side or tummy.
The only time he snores is when he is laid on his back!
He doesnt mind me waking him up as he cant even remember the next day, so it works ok both ways really and we both end up having a restful nights sleep.
The only thing that does worry me, is when he is laid on his back snoring, he all of a sudden stops breathing and holds his breath for ages, some times i think hes not going to start again, after a long pause he does a snorting sound and starts breathing again, can be quite scary but iv heard it can be quite common.
There is no particular reason he does this, he isnt overweight in the slightest, not a snorer, doesnt have a pattern to when he does it (ie after he's had a drink.)
No other symptoms however so i dont think its anything to worry about.
I do sincerely sympathise with couples who have snoring problems, as it isnt nice to be kept awake with it, however its not nice been told off for snoring when you cant help it, i think it definately takes a strong bond to remain in the same bed!
