I was introduced to snoring at a young age. Not that I snored necessarily but my brother who slept in the same room did. Back then my idea of snoring cures included making my brother roll over on his side and whacking him with a pillow. These worked for me but as my brother got older and stronger whacking him with a pillow became secondary.

Later in life I joined the Navy and was shown that I had no idea that snoring could affect me so greatly until I slept in a barracks the first night. It sounded like everybody was shouting in unison with the intent on robbing me of a good night”s sleep and they accomplished their mission. Believe me, I seriously thought about going from bunk to bunk and pushing each guy on his side but if one had awaken my military career would be over.

Later on in life while being stationed on a ship and sleeping in close quarters with over 100 guys I sometimes looked back with fond memories of sleeping in a room with my brother. It seemed like maybe he knew something about the hardships I would face in the future and was preparing me for what I had to face. Thank you brother I will always be grateful! Not!!!

At this point in my life I decided that I had to find snoring solutions for the people that I shared sleeping arrangements with or I was going to spend many nights awake. I hit the library and started reading about snoring relief and vowed to help all these guys with their problems even though they were sleeping through the whole thing.

In my research I found some interesting information and suggestions on snoring solutions, snoring aids, and snoring devices as well as what may be the reason for the weird sounds keeping me awake. I found that the majority of snorers were men around middle age with most being overweight. I also found the primary reason for snoring could be sleep apnea snoring. I found that snoring is a vibration caused by improper jaw position during sleep that is usually formed from an early age. In the case of sleep apnea snoring the person’s whole airway could be blocked and cause serious health problems.

I found when looking up snoring solutions there are such things as anti-snoring pillows, jaw supporters, and even breathing devices such as the CPAP machine. Some of these snoring remedies have been proven to be effective and some not. I believe that each snorer could be different and all anti snoring aids should be personally checked out by the sufferer as well as a medical professional. Needless to say eveyone I presented the material to wasn’t so excited about what I’d found but a few took the info and it helped them.

An interesting sidebar is the fact that the woman I married is a loud snorer. She is such a small petite woman that you wouldn’t imagine the sounds she emits every night. And to top it off our family dog which sleeps at the foot of our bed is a snorer also. I have been very respectful to my wife and mentioned that she snores and I would appreciate it if she would find a solution other than me sleeping on the couch so I found a website I referred her to and if you are a snorer or live with one check it out.
