Does you spouse snore? Read this!

I usually don't go about touting products and listening to hype, but I've found something that I just have to comment about.

My wife snores. Loudly. How loud is your exhaust? She snores that loud... and with that kind of sound, usually. Like a bucket full of rocks, rolled down a hill....
I can hear her two floors down on occasion.

I suspect sleep apnea.
She sort of hyperventillates in her sleep, breathing very heavy and fast.

She'll snore in any position, and through either her nose or her mouth. Doesn't matter. We've tried everything short of surgery or a C-pap because our health insurance won't cover it.
She saw something recently called Snore Mate which is a mouthpiece designed to move the lower jaw forward.
Couldn't hurt to try one more thing, and the price was reasonable.
I bought two.

This is her second day of using it...for the last two years, we've have opposite sleep schedules during the week, so I'm able to listen while I work. So far, I haven't heard a single snort out of her.

It's a frigging miracle.

I went upstairs earlier to do something, and actually had to LISTEN HARD to hear of she was breathing or not. She was so silent,I thougtht she was dead!

I've put up wiht his nw for ten years. I estimate I've lost over half the sleep I need due to being awaken every 20 minutes either by snorting or feeling like my face is being blown off due to heavy breathing. Like sleeping in a hurricane.

Many times, I've thought to leave for my own sanity.

I'll give a followup report after the weekend, when our sleep schedules collide.
I look forward o actually being able to sleep with my wife.
