Need advice lalo from mga may asawa na malakas humilik, paano kayo nakakatulog?

Panggabi ako so hirap na hirap na talaga ako makabawi ng tulog. Weekend na nga lang yung chance ko makatulog nang maayos tapos sobrang lakas pa humilik ng asawa ko. Umaabot na sa point na pinag-aawayan na namin kasi parang wala rin siyang pake kahit ilang beses ko sabihin na pagod na pagod na ko.

Naka-try na kami ng:
pagtalikod
ibang unan
gigisingin siya
pero bumabalik din agad.

Honestly naapektuhan na talaga sleep ko and mood ko.
Sa mga naka-experience nito:
ano gumana sainyo?
may device/remedy ba talaga?
separate room na lang ba realistic solution?
possible ba na sleep apnea na to?
Open ato practical advice 😭

For many years, I (HLM) snored leading to sleepless nights for my (LLF) wife. In an attempt to allow her to get the best sleep possible, I moved to a separate spare bedroom. I could tell I my snoring was causing her issues so I took action on my own, without her asking or demanding. I suspect this sleeping arrangement has not helped our DB.

Anyway, fast forward to about 6 months ago, I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and a CPAP machine has since cured my snoring.

Is it unrealistic for me to expect her to say “hey, since you are no longer snoring maybe you should come back to our bedroom”? Or should I be the one who is saying “I’m no longer snoring, mind if I come back?”.

I feel the roles were reversed, I would be the one asking her to come back as she did it for me not for herself.

For years my partner insisted they don't snore. I, the sleep-deprived witness on the other pillow, knew otherwise. So instead of arguing at 3am, I did the reasonable-developer thing: built an app to record the evidence.

The core idea I actually cared about — recording a whole night is useless if you then have to sit through 7 hours of mostly-silence to find the 30 loud seconds. So the main feature is a waveform timeline: it auto-marks the loud stretches in red, you pinch/scroll to zoom, and tap a marker to jump straight to that moment and hear it.

It slowly turned into a small bedtime-to-morning kit:

- All-night recording + waveform navigation (the main thing)

- A clean alarm that can talk you awake with a custom message

- Sleep sounds with a timer

- A world clock for the long-distance/travel crowd

A few build decisions, since this is that kind of sub:

- Native on both platforms (Swift/SwiftUI + Kotlin/Compose), waveform drawn on the platform canvas

- Fully offline — recordings never leave the device, no account, nothing uploaded

- Free, with an optional one-time lifetime unlock — no subscription, no ads shoved in your face

It's deliberately NOT a medical/diagnostic thing — just a genuinely useful (and occasionally humbling) way to hear what happens while you sleep.

What I'd love feedback on: does jumping to the loud parts via the waveform feel obvious to a first-timer, or would you expect a different interaction? Store links in a comment.

Hey everyone, trying my luck out here. I’m 23 female and in the recent years I started snoring very loudly, this is mostly disturbing my bf since he is a light sleeper. I’ve done 2 sleep studies - very slight sleep apnea that can’t be treated medically (since it’s not considered dangerous).

I’m overweight, which is probably the main reason to my snoring, and I am working on losing weight. But weight loss can take months until you see actual progress that will improve my snoring, and I can’t be ruining my bf’s sleep until then.

I do have allergies and asthma (caused by allergies) in my medical history, and I take medication everyday for it.

I’m willing to try anything.

I’ve scoured the app and can’t seem to find my snores. Any clue where it is?

(Mods, it says it (it may belong in the megathread, where is the megathread?)

Hi, im a 20y M dealing with pretty mild OSA. I’m not overweight and i’m pretty young. My worst problem is the snoring. I can function pretty normally throughout the day so my sleep apnea isn’t causing too much of a problem. However, I legit cannot sleep around anyone ever.

I have had many instances where I would sleep near other people (sleepovers, vacations, etc.) and the snoring is an extreme insecurity of mine. People sometimes point it out and it’s pretty known among my friends that I snore pretty loudly. (Not traditional snoring, snoring that kinda sounds like i’m dying followed by me not breathing lol.) I legit can’t enjoy vacations and sleepovers with friends and family because I really hate bothering them with my snoring. I keep apologizing for it and I really get upset over it. I have a mouth guard that helps the issue, but it legit HURTS to wear and affects my jaw. (I have TMJ).

A lot of people talk about how snoring is annoying to deal with, which I completely understand, but those people don’t realize that the people who snore hate it as well. It’s something we can’t control without the need of external (and very uncomfortable and embarrassing) equipment.

What i’m most worried about is that I’m moving into a college dorm on campus with a roommate this fall and now they have to deal with my snoring every single night pretty much. I understand I probably just have to deal with the pain inducing mouth guard or the clunkiness and hassle of a CPAP (which i’m trying to avoid).

Does anyone else deal with this too?

Although I'm not 100% sure this is all the problem, I'm 100% a mouth breather and because of my overbite I think, although no expert, this is the root of the problem?

I recently tried mouthtape and actually find it fine and comfortable. I'm single at the moment so not sure of its success but I felt it problem did the job best to date - and obviously forced me to breathe through my nose.

However I life a pretty 'social' life and drink a bit and I understand it's really not safe to mouthtape after you've had even 1-2 beers ...which brings me back to mouth guards.

I've tired a few things years and it seems a bit counter intuitive but because of the overbite they were pulling my jaw forward so much it either hurt or the mould didn't really fit and it'd fall out.

zQuiet was the first and I felt that really pulling my jaw forward it was so uncomfortable - for me, no shade. But I guess there were 2 fixed sizes.

Snoreeze was the next, I think but I just couldn't get the mould right. Mix of the bite and crooked teeth seemed to make it impossible to get something that worked so I gave up - on all of this in general actually.

But it is interesting I adapted to the mouthtape ok. Is there a good alternative to this, that's safe if you've had a drink?

I'm happy to try a few things but don't want to burn money again. Is a guard the best thing or should I really be trying something else? ZComfort is one I keep seeing popping up but hard to trust the social media push! 😅

Thanks in advance and thanks for reading. Hope I've articulated ok and not blabbered.

I am a 36 year old female and my snoring is really a source of stress in my marriage. I did a sleep apnea test and i do not have sleep apnea. My husband says I snore with my mouth closed. My snorelab scores are usually between 30s-50s but one day I hit 112 when i slept with my head elevated. The breathe right nose strips don’t work. I took care of my acid reflux with Rx meds and i’m still snoring. I tried a mouthpiece I bought online and it just cut up my mouth. I am overweight and my doctor said it may help to get my bmi below 30 but when my bmi was 29 my husband said i was still snoring. I also tried going dairy free and that didn’t work. I go to see an allergy specialist this week but i feel like i am running out of options. Oddly the only thing that worked is the 2 weeks after I gave birth my snoring stopped but it’s back again. During those 2 weeks I was on a strict diet pretty much of chicken soup and lost 30 lbs in 2 weeks.

I have started seeing a guy but we haven’t actually laid next to eachother all night. He snores so loud, I’ve tried the nudge and roll him to his side. Sometimes he won’t move and others he still snores on his side. He comes to my house so I actually leave my own bed (have a back injury atm too) I could not go to his or I’d be all up night. Should I buy ear plugs? My question is will this work long term? I worry we have never just had the connection laying next to eachother all night.

i don't even know what to do anymore. my snoring has gotten so bad that my partner's been sleeping in the spare room for like 3 months now. feels like we're roommates not a couple.

tried all the basic stuff - nose strips, sleeping on my side, those stupid mouth guards that make you drool everywhere nothing works. i'm starting to think it might be something more serious like sleep apnea but getting a sleep study done is such a hassle.

my brother had the same issue a while back and he ended up seeing some specialist in sydney. Dr. Shahidi i think? he said it actually helped but i didn't really ask for details cause i wasn't dealing with it back then. maybe i should hit him up.

anyway i'm just tired of being tired. and i feel guilty that my partner can't sleep either. anyone actually found something that works long term? not just quick fixes

Bit of backstory: my girlfriend and my family both have pointed out my really loud snoring. I went to the gp to get it checked out and they referred me to an ENT specialist for my enlarged tonsils (they’ve been really big for around 6 months). from what is described by my family and gf, my snoring is disruptive and there are times I choke a little.

Anywho, I am going to be staying over my partners mums house next month and I’m very worried about being a nuisance at night. There will also be a kid in the house so I don’t want to wake the kid up. Furthermore I don’t want it to be a case where I’m not invited again due to my snoring. Is there anything that works to reduce snoring or just make it lighter in general? Idk the primary cause of my snoring sadly. My gf says it’s because my mouth hangs open at night. I’ve used mouth tape and it has worked before I think?

35, female, 178cm, 86kg, no medications, grave’s disease in remission.

Recently in the last few months, I have started snoring. I’ve never snored in my life as attested by friends, family members, partners etc. So I find it strange that I have suddenly started snoring. Not all the time but enough that I notice and it wakes me (because I’m a light sleeper and the slightest noise will disturb me).

I don’t have sleep apnoea that I’m aware of (no waking up gasping for air or anything). I don’t have a thyroid goiter (or at least one that’s noticeable).

Does anyone have any suggestions why this has started?
