No dice so far. It's more amusing than a serious problem . . . except on vacation when there's no escape.

One of my friends, a male, has spent his entire marriage sleeping in a separate room from his wife because of his own chronic snoring. I went skiing with him one weekend and yeah, its horrible to be in the same room with him. They have two great kids though so they got together somewhere along the way!!!

I had tried everything under the sun for snoring, I have snored since I was 12 yrs old, I would snore lying on my stomach, face down crammed into a pillow. Nowadays, I would wake my wife up every night and she would give up and go downstairs to the spare bedroom, this would happen 6 out of 7 nights a week. Anyways I went to a respiratory technician, who make his living selling CPAP machines and got one of those. It has been 2 1/2 years since I've had it and the wife has only slept one night downstairs and that was when she was sick.
Anyways the "Respiratory Technician" seems kinda hokey but he had some sort of paper on his wall from SAIT. You get a little nasal thing to take home and it records your snoring, then he sends it off to a Dr who writes a prescripition diagnosing Sleep Apnea and your benefit plan pays for it. Snoring cured.


EDIT: And when the wife comes to bed and I'm laying there without the mask on, She knows whats up.
