HOW do you get a guy to stop snoring????
Hubby kept me up til nearly 1:30am with his log sawing.
Nudged him. Didn't work. Poked him. Didn't work. SHOVED him. Didn't work. Finally, I smacked him in the face! Well, that worked! He rolled over and I finally got some sleep.
I've suggested he get these Breathe Right nasal strips (like tape over the nose) but he refuses to do that.
Should start keeping my pan under my pillow...... :lena:

American Revolutionary War soldiers sewed cannonballs in the nightshirts of snorers so they wouldn't sleep on their backs.

I heard a Dr. on tv suggest sowing a tennis ball to the back of the pj's so they don't sleep on their backs - similar to CLays suggestion...

I thought sleeping on your back was supposed to be healthy and best for your spine/posture?

Mebbe so, but it encourages snoring.

| “These are the real torture tools, - Mr. Wirth grins. – During the Independence War in the US a cannonball was sewn down to the inner side of the snoring soldiers' uniforms so that they would not turn over onto their backs and disturb fellow soldiers. A similar method is applied even nowadays, although instead of heavy cannonball thick foam plastic pillow is used or tennis-balls are sewn down to the back.” |

| `Positional' snorers - who only snore on their backs - could try a modern version of the snore ball used in American War of Independence. When a Revolutionary soldier was snoring badly, the regimental tailor sewed a cannon ball into a pocket in the back of his uniform. If the soldier rolled on his back, the ball pressed on the shoulder blades made him roll on to his side. |

Does this mean I should do that to the kids too? Candace slept in MY bed while Abe & the boys were out camping on the weekend and I tell ya, she snores as much as her father!
And no, she's not sleeping in my bed again.

Make a pouch and sew it shut. Easy to do! We used to add pockets to our Navy shirts all the time!

....so your not REALLY sewing the ball on the shirt....you're creating a pocket for the ball....
