 | Appliances For Sleep Apnea |

Question: My husband is snoring so loud I can't sleep..?I am open for suggestions. My husband has sleep apnea and the doctor gave him a CPAP machine. He says it is uncomfortable so he won't wear it. He won't try the breathing strips or the mouth appliance. The doctor wanted to do surgery...tonsilectomy and rhinoplasty, but he refused. She said it is really serious because the sleep study showed he was not getting enough oxygen and having almost 20 apnea episodes per night. I have tried ear plugs but they really don't help. We have a couch but it is the kind with a recliner at each end so it is uncomfortable to lay across. We do not have a spare bedroom. I have a 22 month old baby as well as a 17 year old son that I am homeschooling. I need some sleep. I am so tired and grumpy. I feel so tired..from lack of sleep and my doctor says I am severly anemic. I am worried that if something doesn't get better soon, my kids are going to be without one of their parents. This isn't healthy for either of us.
Answer: Have you sat him down and told him everything you just told us? Especially the second last sentence... something or someone needs to slap him upside the head to wake him up (no pun intended).If he won't listen, tell him he MUST keep his life insurance paid up to date... and keep checking to make sure it is... maybe he'll get the hint then.
