My wife complains that I snore a lot especially after riding my bike. Is this a common issue? I suppose it's something to do with heavy/fast breathing which I usually do as I generally ride pacey rides. I tried the sticky nose plasters the other night to help open my nostril, and it definetly helped, so much so that I'm considering wearing them for time trialling! Any thoughts?

Dehydration? I don't know if you're as bad as I am at not remembering to drink when I'm out. But I associate a blocked up nose with dryness.

That's not the best way to get plastered;)

I remember Robbie Fowler used to wear them playing footy, and I spotted one of the vuelta espana riders wearing one in the TT the other day.
I think I drink enough when I'm out riding, maybe I don't.

No. She never complains about me snoring.

But does she give you biscuits?

You mean you get biscuits.

Seriously: Any sinus problems normally, like polyps or allergies or even the more common overweight aspect which normally causes apneia?

My apnea was so bad the noise would wake me up. I would then sneeze or cough for long periods when cycling making it a chicken or egg scenario.

Mine is a fungi/bacteria related allergy. Reducing house humidity cured it.

Hmm, well yes. My doctor was all for some saline spray but what I actually needed was a specialist and some steroid nasal spray. Not to say it's no good but......

I think that's the bit that made me cough loudly, that and the 31 quid bit but I suspend my scepticism until I know more, so I agree I'd like feedback. I can report that a Powerbreathe was feckin useless for me but that's a slight tangent.
