My biggest issue isn’t sleep but is SNORING. My wife doesn’t get any sleep so I have moved to a guest room. Not ideal for either of us but does allow us to sleep. Besides weight loss -down 15 lbs in last couple of months, any hacks to reduce snoring?
Hi MCODad, have you considered sleep apnea? A sleep medicine doctor can diagnose it with a sleep study. Essentially it measures how many times per hour your breathing is impaired. Usually this means the patient is not sleeping well. Even if you are feeling rested in the morning, the breathing interruptions can lead to gasping and snoring.
A CPAP takes some getting used to. But if it helps keep your breathing steady, you could sleep with your wife again, so that’s a plus.
Excess weight can contribute to snoring, but even slim people can develop sleep apnea, so it might be worth checking out. I think most insurance plans cover sleep studies…..if you have been to an airport lately, you might have noticed lots of people carrying small square gray briefcases. They are CPAPs.
