Earplugs. If those fail, gently poke or push until she turns over, hopefully without waking up.

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I don't, neither of us snore.

[–] TheTimeKnife@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Ear plugs and nudging. Though to be honest, sometimes it's hard to sleep without hearing her drone a little bit.

[–] SaneMartigan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I mostly sleep through it else a nuzzle-nudge does the trick. I can hear that she hasn't woken up during the whole thing.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Can't hear them snoring if I'm asleep too.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I stay up until there's a lull in the snoring and fall asleep in that window, thankfully it's not constant or loud enough to wake me once I'm out.

Since my nose surgery i am snoring quietly. But when ever it annoys my partner they say they just kick me a bit and i stop

Temporal bedroom divorce. I'm only in it during the day he's only in it at night. Sometimes I try to snuggle up to him while he's sleeping for a midnight nap and he gets up to move to the couch and I cry a little inside. Nice to have no sleeping disruptions but a lot less cuddles.

Background white noise from a fan seems to be the main thing that helps

i snore louder back.

gets them everytime.

then we both go back to sleep.

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 3 points 2 weeks ago

My experience was: whoever sleeps first, sleeps.

We've been together 30 years and counting. One gets used to some snoring. When it's too loud or too annoying (and it's not just me, she too can snore :p) we nudge the other, even when they wake up they almost instantly fall asleep without the snoring.

Earbuds with noise cancelling, and fan

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 3 points 2 weeks ago

I have discovered that a gentle nudge makes them stop snoring. This might not be universal but it has been working for me.

Otherwise, white noise can help. Like a fan or something

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

We have a guest bedroom. If I'm snoring too much or her insomnia is too bad she moves to the other one for the night. She usually starts by kicking me to stop the snoring and only moves if it doesn't stop.

For the past year we've been in a studio temporarily and we both miss it so much.

Snoring is most commonly caused by ectopic fat in the airway, which is driven by a impaired metabolism (96% of adults). The good news is the body really does not want fat in the airway (or in muscles, or the liver, or in the visceral cavity), and this often resolves in a few months after fixing your metabolism.

I used to snore very loudly, extremely so. Doing low carb for a few months resolved my snoring (and many other things).. so I was still very fat but not snoring anymore. Which is a win.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I take allergy meds. No more loud snoring!

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

I just lay back and enjoy.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

[–] faqtimaan@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 weeks ago
