Right now I have a couple snorers in the house. Dakota isn't all that loud, her daddy, omg, its awful, lol. THere have been times when I'm in a insomniac phase, laying there in bed at 4am just wishing I could go to sleep and I notice he's snoring again and it ticks me off, lol. When he takes his allergy pills, its not quite as bad. But the one thing to work (and I don't really suggest this unless you have a reason to) was ripping the carpet out of our bedroom when the leaky roof just soaked it. It took me about two weeks to figure out what was different in the middle of the night. Ever since we did it, it's been so quiet at night! The original plan was to replace the carpet, but I've gotten to enjoying the no snoring so I'm considering other options.

Right now, my husband is snoring away down the hall. It's surprising our neighbors don't call the police for him disturbing their peace!

wargod, i've had problems sleeping at times in the past, not lately though (and it had nothing to do with stress/problems). i've posted this before at TVCH. i am not one to use prescription drugs...not saying they are bad...i just don't use drugs. i do use aspirin and plenty of Excedrin PM though.. EPM works wonders for me for sleep. dh uses it, too, and we know others who have found EPM works for them (when other over the counter pills didn't work....like tylenol pm). i'm not one to push drugs of any kind. however, if you need something to help you sleep (drugwise), you might try EXpm. i'm only posting this because i spent years, years with not being able to sleep. i didn't believe in any drugs, even aspirin at the time. so, i was miserable not being able to sleep.

Right now, DH and I are freaking out about our senior male cat, Bopper. He didn't eat at all yesterday--which is as rare as Wimpy paying for his own hamburger.
PS: I have buckwheat pillows and love them, but I had to buy two and combine them into one pillow. Gads, what a mess.

Right now, I am so thankful for the advice! Right now I ordered the buckwheat pillows and I am praying they get here like tonight LOL! Right now I know I am dreaming but I can't wait to try them! Right now, I am hoping Bopper, eats something today.

right now, no offense was taken, i just thought you'd like to know the correct term and why and what it is for. not every snorer has sleep apnea. but please listen to your mate sleeping, if they are stopping breathing and do a "catchup" breathing thing THAT is not just snoring.

Right now Im sending cyber hugs to Mamie and I am wondering how our Miss MOcha is doing right now I read up the thread a bit and it made me sad again....my uncle who just recently passed away unexpectadly (he was only 41) died in his sleep and one of the thoughts was that it could have been due to sleep apnea....

Right now, I am glad Giz saw the post about the buckwheat pillows. I will have to agree with Abby7 that they are uncomfortable, but hey, if it stops the snoring, that is a major achievement, right? Abby7, the pillows have not really come down in price. They still cost about $50, but I just happened to find that spectacular price. I looked for them for somebody else about six months ago and found nothing in the low range I found last night for Giz. I don't see how there could be much difference in quality, except for the covering. I mean, buckwheat hulls are buckwheat hulls.

Right now, I don't like the buckwheat pillows too crunchy for my taste. Seriously with whiplash, when it comes to pillows, I think I have tried 'em all. And they've all ended up in the closet. The best pillow for me, is simply a normal bed pillow, but the company makes different kinds, for side sleepers and back sleepers etc. I think I have the side sleeper one. And I bought it at walmart! I do tend to use two so I have double support. Not sure if its good or bad, but suits me fine.

Right now just wanted to tell Mameblanche thanks! I was starting to think I was major crazy since no one seemed to have any input (and this place is always buzzing with input!)

Right now, the buckwheat pillows hurt my neck, so I can't use them. I need nice cushy pillows when I lay on my back or my neck is toast. When I lay face down, I can't have any pillows, or again, my neck is toast.

right now, i have a soft, foamy molded pillow. if i put my neck under the rounded part, it keeps my chin up enough so i don't snore. i only 'purr', but dh really snorts up a storm. i have to wear earplugs every night! i would really like to have the pillow my sister has--she has a standard size one and a full-body one. the small pillow cost about 95 dollars and she got it through a medical supply place. it weighs about 10 pounds, but it molds exactly to her movements. it is a heavy foam-type thingie that you can squeeze and shape. she doesn't travel too much with the full-body one; i think it weighs about 20 pounds or more! she only takes it if she will over night more than a night or two. she fell at k-mart about 10 years ago and has had 3 back surgeries and a neck surgery. her meds cost over 70k a year...she had to quit her job as a nurse and can't play golf or anything any more. she walks with a limp and has to rest after half a block, which can make an after-dinner stroll go on for hours! right now, right now, while i was typing my post, my mom called to tell me about one of my nephews; he fell off his bicycle at mt. shasta and fractured his skull over the weekend. he was in intensive care over night, then in a regular room and then discharged on tuesday. he is back in the hospital because he can't control a bloody nose and is disoriented. i have no idea why he was discharged if he was having constant bloody noses even in the hospital. i sure hope he is okay. head injuries are nothing to take lightly... he is just older than my son--he will be 21 in january. so, hang in there, cody!!
