you’ve read my posts about my husbands sleep antics. you’ve heard audio of his snoring.
now…hear, and see, the proof.
***yes. he’s gonna get this checked. no worries.
***yes. i want to inflict pain upon him. every. single. night.
***yes. i still love him. its in the contract.
Yeah, I'd get that chirping checked too
Seriously though, he's seriously labouring there
Poor dude.
he totally does look like he's really working at it. but he says he is completely rested in the morning.
me on the other hand….
Funny, I often hear that coming from his office, Hmmmm?
what other sounds do you hear come out of brents office?
Isn't snoring like a guy thing anyway?
it seems to be more of a guy thing. and some dogs.
Ah yes, dogs…so true:) That is for another vid moment i'm sure:)
…and my cat…
G
that just ain't right.
arent we all sleeping in the same house this weekend???
=D
If my wife ever brings the laptop to bed I'll be blaming you! But I think if I snored like that, I'd wake up unable to breath due to the plastic bag she placed over my head
.
LOL Toby….
mmmm, havent thought about the plastic bag approach.
thanks toby!
that could potentially make me an accessory to murder….I should delete this thread!
guilty by association.
LOL
This. is. hilarious! Probably for everyone but you.
ding ding ding!!!
Oh my that's way worse than my hubby even with his teeth grinding. Although, I'm not as nice as you. I hit him, shake him and tell him to stop it.
ive never heard a teeth grinder. isnt that like nails on a chalkboard?
and yes…i hit, shake and yell. but it only last for about 32 seconds.
Ya, pretty much. It's the worst sound ever to me. Way worse than the snoring & he always happens to do it as I'm trying to fall asleep. I
My God … my first reaction is … that sounds like a dragon roaring in the distance…..Don't know why I think about dragons when I hear that… I just do. Or a dragon growling in pain………….
Yeah.
Brent the Dragon.
ha! and would you believe this was a mellow snoring session for brent?
yup.
Wha???? For real?????
As a Bajan would say… "You LIE!"
LOL
yep. It was a mellow session… When I stayed at their house, I could hear him through all the walls. Very very loud
When Craig falls asleep on the couch I don't wake him to come to bed.
I feel your pain!
ha! thats funny!
my dad had a machine thing for sleep apnea…u might wanna look into that. instead of snoring…that thing made his snores sound like a whistle. but the machine looks SCARY.
my son snores. and i HATE it. but hey…he told me that apparently i snore too. o_O
brents dad and bro have to use that machine…CPAP. im sure thats what brent needs too. we'll eventually be able to get him in a sleep study. i hope.
this comment is gonna suck coz ima be preachin to myself too….but tell brent to exercise. for real. they said that most snorers just need to lose some weight.
Sounds just like Jake. Luckily, he doesn't snore like that EVERY night, and even more lucky for me…. we sleep at different times b/c of his work shift. So I get out of it 5 nights of the week. ;o)
I punch him REALLY hard in the arm b/c it ticks me off so much. That barely phases him. The only way he can stop is to sleep on his side (which looks like Brents problem?). On his back he snores like a train.
i would hate to get a punch from you. i know it would leave a lasting mark =o
brent used to just snore when he was on his back. now, it doesnt matter.
oh great. so my days are numbered?? LOL
Yes, a good punch…. one good thing about having a stepbrother growing up…. taught me how to hit. hard. ;o) Huh, I wonder what he's up to these days?
Oh Tam, thats just wrong on so many levels. My wife once filmed me sleep laughing (hysterical, unstoppable belly laughing, while soundly asleep) and I barely forgave her. There are just some things ya just don't want to see. I also get punched, elbowed and forced to sleep on my side (the least comfortable spot). Funny Post!!
Jim
OH MY HEAVENS!!! A mild session! You should have seen Greg’s face when he 1. first heard it… and 2. Realized who it was. I don’t think Simone will ever talk to Brent now… she’s too terrified! LOL
Gee and Brent has such a nice singing voice, I’m amazed that he doesn’t sound like Bonnie Tyler (Total Eclipse of the heart)!
And he’s rested after that?!! He’s probably the only one in the house that can sleep!
As my Bajan Father would say “Holy Cow, Man!”
OK, I think I should jump in here. Someone has to defend me
#1 I usually snore worst, when I am just falling asleep. I often get hit by tammy and feel I havent been sleeping at all. Otr Id just dozed off. That's always fun
#2 I want to try one of those mouth piece things. It's definitely a relaxed throat issue. Ive been siting on the couch resting and found myself start to snore/breath while Im awake. I can feel it in my throat. Anyone have good suggestions for a mouth piece?
#3 The mouth piece is my first option, because sleep tests and CPAP machines are not paid for with my insurance. I dont feel I have a health issue as I sleep very well and wake up rested. But, I would definitely take the tests and get the machine if money was not an issue.
#4 I snore the worst when I have a drink before bed. I gain that 5 pounds back. Or I am super tired. All of which were definitely to account for recently. When I keep this extra 5-10 pounds off and I dont have a drink before bed, I can cure most of my bad snoring. BUT, not all of it.
SO, my snoring definitely has to do a lot with my habits. Ive promised Tam I will work on those. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. I have since Fall. But not the last couple of weeks. Crazy schedule, friends in town, traveling. It all accounts. AND, come one…who doesnt love a little whiskey before bed
oh this reply is SO SO FUNNY! ;o)
i'll defend you…
… you don't have any control over this… right now.
but seriously, man… i think you have similar allergies to brian, cuz once he took out all things barley, dairy and corn, no more snoring. but that would mean all your drinks need to go bye-bye. so worth it for tammit though.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
OK, this is weird, but after about 3 or 4 words of your comment…all I see is blah blah blah…
words: i hate you.
that's less than 5, so you should be able to read that, my dear sweet illiterate friend.
Yup, same thing. I got…
words:i hate you.
then blah blah blah…weird
i can see why you'd snore more when you have a drink before bed. alcohol relaxes the muscles (like the ones around your throat that help everything stay open so you can breathe freely). just read an article on it. but you prolly alread knew that.
and jenni could have a point. maybe you have a mild, overlooked allergy that causes just enough inflammation to make you snore?
still…funny stuff!
funny til youre next to it.
OH
DEAR
LORD… that was hysterical. I was dying. All I have to say is.. thank the Lord I am not a snor-er yet..
My dad has/had chronic sleep apnea. The doctors said if it was left untreated, it would be fatal. His sleep test showed that he was "waking" over 30 times in an hour due to his inability to breathe. His snoring was so loud that I was able to hear it in my bedroom – which was a caravan in the backyard (and I could hear it OVER whatever music I had on too!).
Dad's fatigue, caused by the apnea, became so bad, that he'd often fall asleep in the middle of a conversation. It was horrible.
When Dad finally got his CPAP, Mum had trouble sleeping because of the LACK of noise.
The CPAP techology has improved incredibly over the years. His first one was MASSIVE – required its own bag for travelling and everything. Now his CPAP is not a lot bigger than a large discman (maybe office phone size?), and I think it also has an inbuilt humidifier (as the constant air pressure can dry your throat out). And you can barely hear it.
It's weird not hearing dad snore now. But at least we know he'll wake up in the morning.
Paula, I assure you, I am waking up tomorrow. If this was an every night extreme event, I would be concerned. But considering I am rested in the morning and I can control it, I feel comfortable with what it is.
I'd say if you're waking up refreshed, then you won't need a CPAP. They are used for when your airway collapses when you breathe (like my dad), as the positive air pressure keeps your airways open…and you wake up tired because you didn't really sleep.
You're just a snorer
(and glad to hear that you'll be waking up in the morning!)
oh also, have you seen an ENT (ear, nose, throat) specialist? It could just be something really simple that possibly cauterisation could fix. (Yuck, but sometimes a viable solution….and not as exxy as a sleep test & CPAP)
A mouth piece… I guess that could work… try Black Oak pharmacy, they have all kinds of gadgets.
But I’m thinking all you have to do is send this into the sleep clinic at RVMC and they’ll be coming to get you for a CPAP.
Haha! You paying?
Well, if I adopt you you can get Asante Insurance… but the thought of a 30 something son may give me grey hairs!
Im house trained
My brother and nephew and Dad all had their tonsils out. Really helped them. But that only happened cause they deal with throat issues. Ive never had those issues. Dont have allergies and hardly ever get sick. But, another factor this week is that Ive had a little head cold. That doesnt help either.
OHMYHECK! That's crazy! Ear plugs won't muffle that sound! Was he holding a blankie!??
My husband is a snorer. I have to wear earplugs and I at times he's so loud I can hear him though the earplugs. I'm a tosser. I don't get rest. We joked after we got married that I should sleep on a bbq spit.
this still makes me laugh.
and really makes me miss my stodgino family…
I am a snorer. So when sharing a room/tent/house with someone else, I do them the courtesy of letting them fall asleep first. If they wake up in the night…. that’s their fault.
I would however like to contradict the “it’s a guy thing” myth. I have known a number of women who snore. A few years ago I shared a room with two such snorers, and between the one singing in her sleep, and the other making a noise like a small, feminine, buzz-saw, I got not a lot of sleep.
My new flatmate snores
And my old dog.
So there's two girls that I'm aware of!
\”that's their fault\”
cracked. me. up.
Finally watched the video (not sure if it was NSFW!)
I can see how that would get VERY frustrating, but it doesn't sound like an apnea snore to me….not sure if a cpap would even be recommended,
After all, I am (not) a medical expert
youre an expert in my eyes, friend. =D
oh.
my.
DANG!
Holy Geez! Thats insane. My step-dad used to snore like that every single night, all night long. He ended up having surgery where they removed 32 polyps from his sinuses. He no longer snores. But now my MOTHER does!
Oh, this video made me giggle. Your expressions, the sounds that came roaring out of Brent's "throat", it's all just too much. But too much in a "I'm so glad you shared way."
1) I can't believe you actually got footage. Brave woman, considering the other…
2) I remember. The video doesn't even begin to do it justice. Not at all.
Ha! You're right! You HAVE heard the chaos in real life.
Wanna hear it again???
Say yes.
