I went from calling my doctor to having an insurance covered machine in 3 weeks.

Now….its possible you don’t have apnea, but that’s the most likely problem.

Did you ever have to go into the office to be fitted for the machine or anything?

A. that's total BS
B. Get breathe right strips OP the brown ones not the clear ones.

Wear sleep tape until your dr figures it out.

Earplugs fixed this for me. The cheap foam ones at CVS.

Yes, snoring can be related to sleep apnea. Getting a CPAP has helped me (and spouse!) sleep much better.

My dad and two siblings also have it.

What's wrong with separate rooms. It can be a good thing for a marriage.

We start out in same bed and wake up in same bed. The middle is when we often separate to get some good sleep!

We invested in one of those recliner/incliner beds. Because he snores and I don’t we
ended up getting the double twin set so two twin beds next to each other and then use Kind sheets and bedspread so it’s overall still same bed.

He can then incline his side as much as needed and snoring resolved!

It was pricey, but worth the investment.

OP You need a doctor’s appointment to set up a sleep study to determine if you have sleep apnea.

If you have not had your tonsils and ad kids out as a child an ENT could evaluate that as a cause. Or whether you have a deviated septum.

My husband used the nose strips and sleeps great but snores like a tank.
I have sleep apnea and have a Cpap But I have one with nose pellets or inserts connected to tubing not something over my face. I use ear plugs for I do not hear the machine.

The non-snoring spouse might sleep better if sleeping in another room, but the snoring spouse needs to sleep too - and constantly waking up, putting your heart at risk, and being extremely tired, not to mention not getting appropriate air flow, is detrimental to a marriage too.
Both parties need to be healthy.

OP has a doctor's appointment. Is there something else you'd suggest in the meanwhile?

CPAP will solve but unfortunately it will cause wrinkles to your face from where the mask sits. Not attractive. You can also look into palate widening surgery--usually involves braces and a palate expander, could involve jaw surgery and also removal of teeth/veneers/implants. But you could avoid the CPAP.

I second loop earplugs. Some people are having success with “sleep divorces.” It’s usually the wife that is opposed to them, but try to keep an open mind about it. There is nothing like waking up after 7-8 hours of solid sleep.
