Come to think of it, dh snores more when he's sleeping on his back.

Like schweppes' DH, buds_hubs also seems to snore louder when lying flat during sleep.

This picture explains why that is so...

So by turning to the side, you prevent the tongue from falling backwards to block the airway.

Hi schweppes and Jennifer, I suffer from stiff neck and bad back as well. The King Koil contour pillow or the Seahorse contour pillow we've used tackled these quite well so we went for the same (either brand) when pillows need replacing. We also sleep on our sides. Like schweppes' DH, buds_hubs also seems to snore louder when lying flat during sleep. But a gentle shove does the trick. We also recently changed our mattress to a King Koil one which was medium hard - nice and yet firm. Good for back. We don't have air-con.


We also sleep better after our (used to be) regular foot reflexology sessions at Bt Timah.

We changed our mattress recently to a firm one too. He slept well then. I also dun know why suddenly he sleeps so noisily.

Will give the contour pillow a try.

We went to Courts Sleep Clinic. Try to lie down on all of the mattresses. We tried quite a good range from what was offered. One of the many that we tried eventually got all of us going aaaahhh..... nice..... even for chubs. Cos when we were all quiet on that mattress, he rolled over to me and said,\"Hmmmm comfy... Milk pweease...\" :please:

:faint:

Yes, you should give it a shot. Seahorse has a few types and less expensive if you think you just wanna try it out first. King Koil is the leader of pillows and mattresses so theirs are well researched and offer different variations to suit the fussiest sleepers. I also once tried one from Ikea which was quite ok as well.

Jennifer:

Btw, about the foot reflexology, do you inform the massager there is a sleep issue?

:thankyou:

Good reflexologists or therapists require no information... they touch your leg oredi they know what's wrong with you or your body. However, if you require extra attention to a certain problem area that has been bugging for sometime or is causing health concerns , can ask them to help work more on that particular area. Every part of the foot represents a specific body part and foot reflexology does indeed help. I wasn't a believer before but now totally sold on this method of inner healing.

You're most welcome.

With your 2 sumo babes and everything else you do in between, guess the stiff neck and bad backs are likely to happen.

Maybe indulge and call massage macik to your home to knead away the kinks. Or, do some yoga poses like cat, tree and mountain poses to strengthen your back muscles. Helps with lower back aches.

The reflexology auntie does a mean qi gong on my lower back ache too and she complains to hubs (intentionally) :evil: that i must've either done too much at home (chores) on my own.. carried the boys a lot.. owes it to breastfeeding as well.. and carried too many heavy things.. To top it off, she will scold me for not adhering to the too-much-cold-water is not good for me.


All that by just placing her magic hands on my back. Aaaaahhh. Miss u auntie!

You know buds best, uh? :evil:

:imanangel:

OT abit.. my friend who is a gym fanatic affirmed that at least 30-45mins bed workout is like running a certain distance... the disclaimer is... it's dependent on the intensity... ... and when done in the mornings, apparently does good things to the heart... the adrenaline rush keeps the heart pumpin' good.

Ya, massage macik can knead away the kinks but never the same with what a reflexologist does. :please: Two great healing methods with different results. Both great in their own way. Aaaahh..
