What's the best remedy to control snoring and where can I get it?

I'm sure there's a European connection to this somehow...
Tell your partner not to take it lightly. Both of you (yes, together) should consult a physician, preferably one familiar with sleep disorders. It might be minor, or it might not, and the death you're referring to might not be all haw haw.
If this situation might reduce your enjoyment of a European holiday, look into it right away. Otherwise, look into it right away.

Well, I won't name names here, but a friend and I took two weeks to Brussels and Paris and I was awake ALL NIGHT EVERY NIGHT. Fortunately she was an early riser, so I was able to sleep between 5 and 8. On the next trip to Italy, I made her wear one of the thick collars around her neck. It worked, although I also wore earplugs just in case. She hated it, but was a good sport. Of course, we also wore little crocheted booties (it was winter) and I had a woolen cap on my head to keep the heat in since I freeze so easily. Thank goodness the hotel didn't catch fire - what a sight we'd been standing outside in our get-ups! Not exactly a fashion statement.

I use SnoreStop -- available at most drug stores and Costco will order for you. In fact, I learned about it from the pharmacist at Costco. SnoreStop has a web site. I've told my friends about it and they claim it has helped with their husbands' snoring. Also, I wear earplugs as I am a very light sleeper, and bring earplugs for my friends as an additional precaution. Before I found SnoreStop one friend brought along a sound machine and turned it up loud to drown out my snoring. We both went to sleep listening to the roar of the ocean.

I've read about it, haven't tried it:
sew a small pocket on the back of the snorer's pj top; stuff a tennis ball in the pocket; keeps Snorer from sleeping on his/her back because it's uncomfortable. If you try it and it works, let me know: I need to go buy a case of tennis balls.

Sadly, sleeping on your back may not have anything to do with snoring. My husband can snore in any position. I've spent enough nights watching him roll over just to start in another key when he gets comfortable on his stomach or side. My best tip is to try to go to sleep first. It's a lot easier if your 18-year-old is home by 2AM.

ugh. my Ireland biking trip:
never got over jet lag completely - 49 miles a day on the bike... and 3-4 hours of sleep per night.
my roomie SNORED like a jackhammer. I gave her all my pillows, and wore earplugs. made no difference. I did notice that sharply calling their name (or saying SOMETHING loudly) is enough to break their sleep pattern just long enough so that you might fall back asleep long enough to NOT hear them start up again, for a while anyway.
plus, may as well spread the joy. I don't sleep, they don't sleep!!

There is a definite link between alcohol consumption and snoring. Everyone has their own limit for the 'snore point'. For my husband, 1/2 bottle of red wine is fine and we have a peaceful night, more than that and its like Niagara Falls roaring away beside me...good luck with making this point with your partner, it took me a lot of persuading!

Sad to admit that I'M THE ONE with the snoring problem!
