ackmeia - sounds like he hacks while he snores...I think it is apnea (meaning a pause in the external breathing)...we all have it but at various levels - it basically is holding your breath. During sleeping though, many peoples' airways don't stay open properly and they stop breathing briefly then sometimes snore to suck in the oxygen to make up for it. Quite scary I think on the bad cases!!!! I hope your hubby has something to help that...
Forgive me chuckling and correcting your spelling please. I'm the "grammar/spelling nazi" in my household! Hubby is a HORRIBLE speller, but as sharp as can be.

Now, I apparently was snoring so loud that the nurse brought him out to listen to me. They scheduled a sleep study and found that I was averaging 7 minutes of true sleep per hour. Can you imagine getting only 56 minutes worht of sleep in and 8 hour night!
It was so bad that I went to my folks place for Thanksgiving the prior November. It's an hour drive. Pat did not go with me that year. I stopped at a rest area becasue I had too. When I was done, I got back in the car, fastened the seat belt, started the car and don't remember anything for about two hours. That was before I had a cell phone. Needless to say, everyone was scared silly because no one knew where I was. I fell asleep at work, at home, anywhere actually anytime.
I got my CPAP machine and wow what a difference.
I can sleep about 6 hours and get through an entire day from 5 a.m. to about 11 p.m. or further if need be without nodding off at all!
There is a surgical alternative too but I wasn't that desperate!
The funny too is that my cat can sleep on me without worring. I sleep on my back and rarely move. Deep sleep means less movement in bed to. So if your SO snores and you are black and blue in the mornings, get them into a sleep study!

baychef said:I think I need to do this too. I am only sleeping about 3 hours at a time. EVERY morning after I am up for just an hour or so, I have to go back for a nap because I couldn't even drive to work without falling asleep. Being the boss...I don't have to keep rigid time but everyone thinks I am sleeping in....I am just trying to function. I am sure they will tell me to lose weight so I figure why wast the time and money?

Breath Right Strips work by gently lifting and opening the nasal passages, allowing for easier and more efficient breathing. This can help reduce or eliminate snoring caused by nasal congestion.
Yes, Breath Right Strips are safe to use and have been clinically proven to be effective in reducing snoring. However, it is always recommended to consult with a doctor before trying any new sleep aid.
Breath Right Strips are not designed to treat sleep apnea, which is a serious medical condition. It is important to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea.
Each Breath Right Strip is designed to be worn for one night. They should be removed gently in the morning and disposed of. Do not reuse a strip as it may lose its effectiveness.
Breath Right Strips can be used in conjunction with a CPAP machine, but it is important to consult with a doctor for proper use and to ensure the best treatment for sleep apnea.
