Excellent!! Thanks again for the help, guys and gal.

I mean, I think my snoring is rather sexy and all, but...

Maybe it's Sleep Apnea (sp?) or whatever it's called?

Sleep Apnea is when you stop breathing and bolt upright in the middle of sleeping gasping for breath...

Snoring is making a crapload of noise while sleeping..

This would be me, and I think it's going to cut down drastically on my nookie unless I do something about it.

Thanks, guy.

I know what snoring is and I know what sleep apnea is.

My uncle had sleep apnea. He used to snore like a freight train. He'd also wake up several times in the middle of the night. However, he didn't "bolt upright" as you put it and he was never "gasping for breath" either. He'd just wake up.

He had the procedure done to remedy the situation and now he sleeps fine, no snoring.

lost weight would be the fastest and least painful procedure.
my father had sleep apnea and they cut out his uvula and a large portion of his upper throat as well as doing nose and sinus surgery.
he was out for 3 weeks in pain and grossness.

he and anyone that has ever slept in the same house as him was hopeful that it would help. it didn't. supposedly the sleep apnea is gone, but he still snores.

it is all due to loose tissue in your airways smacking against each other - so you need to limit that.

sleeping on your back amplifies this by allowing the tongue to loll back into the throat and move as well. so try sleeping on your side and losing weight.

I snore like a mofo, and I love to sleep on my back. I've snored so loud I've woken my self up. Now that's loud.
