Jennifer:

I am a light sleeper. Hubby's deep mellow sleeping sounds have been waking me up several times in the night. Once awaken, I do not fall back to sleep easily.


I asked him what his first thought is when he sees my pillow and blanket are not on the bed, he replies: how does other wives cope with their husband's snoring? :mad:

What can I do?

1. Ear plugs? Would I be able to hear my alarm clock ring the next morning?

2. Sleep in the same room, then when I wake up, move to the study room or living room to sleep?

3. Sleep with my children?

4. Send hubby to see a doctor? He did a sleep test 2 year ago at SGH but doctor said nothing wrong with him and did not give any medications or suggestions. I am not the only one hearing his sleeping sounds, both my children are well aware of it too and they are equally troubled by it when we travelled and stayed in the same hotel room.

Hi Jennifer,

I just came across to above post when browsing the health related topics..Have you found any 'remedy' for snoring?

Dh has been snoring loudly everyday for many years. Most of the time, he will sleep at the sofa as I couldn't stand his loud noise. We slept on same bed only in weekend( meaning Friday and Saturday ) when I not working the next day. Sometimes, I will sleep with DD by 'squeezing' on her single-size bed. ( btw, she keep asking me to sleep with her recently :? )Only these arrangement, dh then got a chance to sleep on a comfy bed :sad:

As for DD2... makes no difference for that girl. Dont know how she sleeps. In the morning, pillow, bolster and blankie on the floor :roll: :slapshead:

Jennifer:

Redeemed the tempur contour pillow for hubby.


For a week, we could sleep in the same room on the same bed. .

Jennifer:

Last night, I was awakened by his persistent singing. He got sent out.

I dun recall him eating or drinking any extraordinary stuff, except the large consumption of 枇杷 fruit which is in season now.

Jennifer:

I went to get the King Koil contour pillow. Bn using it for 2 nights - think my stiff neck is gone. :rahrah:

Sounds like he had some form of punishment.

Will give the contour pillow a try.

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

:thankyou:

Jeen- neee- feeer, the contour pillow did not work its magic last nite

schweppes:

Never too late. Can still go now. Good idea to go for foot reflexology session when ur ds2 having tuition. Then u don't have to keep wandering into Popular every week.

schweppes:

Didn't work on dh as he continued to snore that nite. But cd be he's also down with bad cough so affected his nasal passageway?

Harlequin:

Before she learnt to swallow the halved capsule, I would have to dig out the powder and mixed with a tablespoon of lukewarm water in a small cup, much like how we prepare Lactolfort; but the cordyceps powder will not dissolve into the water, but floating on it instead, no matter how I tried to stir it in; and the powder lodged all over her teeth that she needed to \"gargle\" with a glass of water. It was a nightly struggle till she finally learnt how to swallow the halved capsule. (Lol, I can write a 101 manual about learning to swallow capsule/caplet/tablet!)

Jennifer:

Harlequin:

As for boiling cordyceps, I was told it's best taken empty stomach, and it's unlike other Chinese herbs that the essence could be extract from the double boiling's heat into the soup, to get the optimum benefit from cordyceps is to ingest the plant/root itself.

Thank you for sharing the above.

Was it the Hock Hwa staff who told you?

Would consuming powdered form directly w/o the capsule yield the same benefits as taking the capsule form?

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!

So this auntie is no longer working in Bt Timah? and u dun know where she has gone?

There are at least 2 centres in Thomson Plaza offerring foot reflexology - Wan Yang and Refresh Group. Do these centre hard sell packages?

My P6 boy is attending Chinese tuition at Thomson Plaza every Sunday. Instead of wondering aimlessly every weekend there, I thought I should pamper myself every week with some ME time. :rahrah: (I was so stupid in the past).

Hi schweppes and Jennifer, I suffer from stiff neck and bad back as well.

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

schweppes:

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.

buds:

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.

Now you make me wanna go for a foot reflexology tomorrow!! :razz:

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

buds:

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.
