Also, I need to TJ you, so um...sorry?
A b3tan was asking me about help with a snoring partner the other day and it brought to light just how many of us are struggling to find a solution. I found a good solution with some very effective ear plugs from the British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association, and as such they fairly regularly email me with offers that I can't usually use because I'm well stocked up on what I need...sooo, in the least spammy way possible, does anyone want a £5 voucher code for the site?
Edit: I've recently played through Super Stacker and Totem Destroyer 2 (infact that one is still open because it has loads of extra stuff to unlock/play!), they're great fun.

Mainly because I am all alone and I am the snorer ;)

1) A gentle nudge. Sounds odd but it works on some snorers
2) Close/open mouth. I snore if I sleep with my mouth open, my friend does if she sleeps with it closed. Tryign to keep your mouth open/closed before you go to bed does make a difference.
3) That nose tape stuff. it does work if the other 2 don't.
4) If you want earplugs then try your local chemist or music instrument shop.

Electrocution.
No srsly.
You can buy little watch-like devices that you wear when you sleep, and if you snore loudly, it gives you a zap. You can set the zap from 1 - 10, and 10 is a mother fucker.
However, my ex used to snore like a freight train, and slept like a dead log. Even the 10 setting wouldn't wake her from a deep sleep.
If it's a severe case, there's the surgery option, or you can choose to sleep with an anti-snore mask on, but they look really uncomfortable (they basically force air down your throat while you sleep to stop the soft flappy bit from vibrating)
Thanks for the tip on the earplugs though - I live on a very noisy road, and the bog standard plugs from boots don't help that much.
Phwooar, Jessie TJ'd me. I feel so dirty.
