Well, not destroying, but it's become a big issue since we got married last year. We're in our twenties, healthy, and DW is certainly not overweight, nor does she drink before bed. But she snores consistently, often getting louder as the night goes on. Compounding the problem is that I am a particularly light sleeper, it can take me 30 minutes to fall asleep even if everything is quiet (I have always envied those who can fall asleep at the drop of a hat).
We've both tried things to fix this. She's tried the "neti pot" for sinuses, decongestants, the breath-right nose strips, and some other wierd thing that actually fit inside her nose. I've tried earplugs and putting a pillow over my head but neither one blocks all the noise. The only thing that works is going to sleep in the other room, but neither of us likes that - I don't see why I can't sleep in the same bed as my wife!
Is going to the doctor and considering surgery the only option left? I'm sure we're not the first to have dealt with this...hopefully someone here can offer a recommendation that we've overlooked.
