      Good tips! This reminds me of an article published in ST some time back about how "bed" disturbances have been affecting health of couples. I think there was a research done and couples have been advised to take measures to "reduce" disturbances to improve their health (physical & mental), moods and general well being.


      Now I come to understand why some people in the west (mostly) are choosing to sleep on separate beds. It’s to avoid the tossing and turning that are disrupting the partner’s sleep - (most of us do not realise this …how come we are still so tired after a good nite’s sleep!?). In Asian society, this has not catched on yet …maybe it’s because of our limited bedroom size or that it just does not feel right not to sleep beside your spouse. I can offer a simple solution for this (if one does not mind the aesthetic aspect) - simply buy 2 single mattresses (& 2 similar bedsheets) but join together in a King bedframe. However, need to be careful because not all King bedframe are cut out to accomodate 2 single mattresses. This works much much better than buying a King mattress that has what’s it called… motion transfer minimised kind. It is slightly more expensive to buy 2 singles than 1 king but it is really worth the investment for a better night Zzzzzz…

        Thats really good suggestion!!! cause at the end of the day we need good nite sleep to remove all our tiredness ... wat to do bout the snoreness!! :stupid:

        Err...kick the fella out of the room!? haha....Actually it's very strange for me, I am more sensitive to \"movement\" than noise. My dh does snore every once in a while but I'm not that bothered. He \"moves\" a bit and I wake up! Come to think of it, to those who are sensitive to both movement and snores, you can solve half your problem with my suggestion - so at least you get to reduce half the disturbances !

          But if the snore is so loud, you can still hear him even if he is on a different mattress. You can hear him in the other room! It's like a orchestra... :?:

            The other solution to excessive movements during sleep is to sleep on futon laid on a tatami floor!

                An orchestra?.....oops that bad...poor you! do you have eye bags then haha..?
                Have you tried some anti snoring stuff that are in the market. Maybe for natural stuff, you try Sterimar - it works well for dd's allergy and my mom's sinus. They claimed it's good for snoring too...What I like about it is it's all natural..even safe for babies!

                  I sleep after a long thinking and unwind session, while DH could be talking to me 2 min ago, and before I could even respond to him, he’s already snoring away.


                  DH snores too, so my solution is to nudge him bit by bit.
                  Once he turns to his side, his snoring stops.

                    How does that happen :? turning sides can stop the snooring>?

                    It's the palette, LKVM...sometimes, the nasal passage is blocked with the tongue and the accompanying muscles launch backwards. if it doesn't stop the snoring when DH lies on his side, time to see doctor.

                    THe other method is to lose weight loh! 😉

                      :idea: ahhh....but you see, LKVM, your counterpoint is that you do not snore! :celebrate:
