Chill your hand first then apply it to a belly should get that puppy on his side in no time at all.

My DH sleeps downstairs and has for a couple of years now. He snores so badly that I resorted to the couch for months before he suggested moving. Even now, I can hear him through the vents when it's quiet, but it isn't loud enough to wake me up once I'm asleep. He's been checked for sleep apnea and the VA said that there wasn't any. What I didn't realize is that it is much more common than I thought for married couples to sleep apart. We've been married 29 years this year.

my DH kicked me out years ago...LOL I'm the snorer but he does too but won't admit it...very light sleeper. Traveling and staying in motel very interesting

We usually start out together, but we have an 80 lb. boxer that thinks the bed is his. He usually sends one of us packing before morning. He kicks and huffs and jumps around until one of us gives up and lets him have our half.

The man next to me is so loud that if I go downstairs to the couch I still hear him, and if I go further down to the basement I still hear him. The neighbors next door hear him and the only use I can think of for a pillow is over him rather than under, but is not an option right now. In two weeks he goes to a sleep studu to see if the air maks helps him (or me) a bit.

I used to sleep on the sofa a lot due to my husband's snoring. He would sleep on the sofa if he realized he was snoring before I did. We solved that ---- He has sleep apnea and is now sleeps with a breathing machine. AND ME.
When he took the test for sleep apnea he was sure he did NOT have it. I thought otherwise. They found that he would stop or nearly stop his breathing nearly every 30-45 seconds!
It was a life saver! Literally.

DH didn't snore enough to bother me until a few years ago. It got louder. I made an appointment with a specialist immediately. No way I was going to go through that for years. He has a simple operation and went back to sleeping normal. It took exactly one month from first loud snoring to end of loud snoring.

Any loud snoring is not normal. Snorers need to go to a specialist and find the reason for the snoring. It's harmful for the snorer, their bodies are not getting the the right kind of rest it needs and that can cause many other problems like depression. Parents listen to you teens while they sleep to see if snoring is heard.
My brother snored, not too loud but annoying. The family Dr. kept saying he was fine. His snoring was getting worse. A specialist and a sleep study later, he has an oxygen machine and says he feels 100% better and he's a happier person.

Luckily, I'm a very heavy sleeper! As long as I get to bed before he does, no matter what happens during the night, I'm good to go :)
