Snoring

Question # 1:

Your partner snores so loud you can not sleep the entire night. You wake up often and take forever to fall asleep again, and then finally you get out of bed because you really can't sleep anymore, and that's like 4am. You've tried everything, ear plug, him/her wearing mouth and nose thingy, but you still can't get enough sleep. Would you...

We haven't tried anything but nudging each other when the snoring gets too loud. I hope things are not getting beyond that in your household.

Couldn't answer the second section properly.

If I were the snorer, I'd sleep in the other room.

Nessa, I would seriously look into seeing a specialist. I believe there is a laser procedure that is pretty successful.

How Does Laser Surgery for Snoring Work?

Laser surgery for snoring is an outpatient procedure, meaning that you do not have to stay in the hospital after the surgery is performed. It is completed under a local anesthesia, which is sprayed on the back oral cavity, tonsils, uvula, and soft palate. Then, additional local anesthesia is injected into the muscle of the uvula. After several minutes have passed, the surgeon will use a laser to make two vertical cuts in the palate on either side of the uvula. This shortens the uvula and gets rid of what was once the obstruction that caused your snoring.

The entire operation is performed while you are sitting straight up in a chair. Oftentimes, it takes more than one procedure to complete the surgery; in fact, it can take as many as five laser surgery for snoring to complete the operation. When multiple surgeries are required, they are spaced anywhere from four to eight weeks from one another.

After you have laser surgery for snoring performed, you will most likely see a quick recovery. Right after the procedure, most people experience a pain, similar to that of a sore throat, which occurs when they swallow. This may last for up to ten days, and it can be relieved by over-the-counter medications. Although patients themselves are unable to witness the results of their laser surgery for snoring, their sleeping partners will definitely notice a difference!

Having a hard time making a Decision?

If you are wondering whether you should have laser surgery for snoring or not I totally understand you. After all having a part of our body removed is never s small decision even if it’s a small tissue in the back of our mouth. The best thing to do would be to consult your doctor. After some small tests and questions your doctor should be able to tell you if you are suffering from a severe snoring problem. You can talk to him about LAUP and if he thinks you are a good candidate you will probably have to participate in a sleep study. This will make sure you are indeed suffering from a severe snoring problem or sleep apnea.

I'd go for a sleep study first before the surgery. There may be a less invasive solution.

Never mind -- didn't read to the end of the article!

There is no problem sleeping in different rooms if the non-snorer can't sleep because of the noise. I don't know how my mom does it, my stepdad snores so loudly that we can hear him in the living room as if he were in the same room.

My husband rarely snores and it's not very loud. I nudge him and he stops. I can't imagine if it were every night and too loud for me to get sound sleep.

I want to perform the surgery on him at this point. I'm going deaf in my right ear. And he wonders why I'm cranky in the morning.

My wife claims I snore. She likes to go get bed first so she can fall asleep before I get in and start up the "chainsaw."

Dane snores like a freight train/banshee. When he starts snoring, usually within 5 mins of falling asleep, i try nudging him but it never works, he rolls onto his other side and "continues to snore". I give up after listening to him after a hr or so. I end up grabbing my pillows, tightly closing the door, and head to the spare room to rest without having a freight train/banshee echoing thru my ears. Ahhhhhh peace and quiet!!

Sleep in separate bedrooms and then look into finding the reason for the snoring. There could be a multitude of different factors and reasons.

My father snores so much that my mother added another bed to the master bedroom in what used to be the dressing room.

I just poke my husband and he mutters something in Albanian and usually he stops. If he is sick and tired from working, its better for me to take a sleeping pill because then he is unstoppable.
