Snoring

[albion]

Yes, mucous also clogs it up, from the nose these days for me.
Get too much mucous and you can be in fear of drowning ! For some reason it also affected my right ear, liquid solidifying there so that any movement of the jaw made a very loud ear crunch sound.

Just as a matter of interest,having had a relaxing none walking day the nostril with the removed cartilage has now calmed its inflammation leaving it breathing better than my right nostril.

Any thoughts on me fixing my right nostril? I can see some massive pros and massive cons in this matter.

Just another observation, I get a really heightened sense of smell after a tough ride, particularly ammonia in shampoo and shower gel in the shower! In fact I can't believe how much the stuff stinks of ammonia.

If i push myself riding, i get a similar sensation but more like a scent of burnt hair...ish. after the ride that is.

Quite a few people wear nose plasters or other nose breathing aids at the TT's ive been too . I breath with my mouth when riding a TT ( i think )

I tried wearing one this morning on a team training ride, didn't think it made a huge amount of difference to be honest, as like you my mouth is where the bulk of the air is flowing! However they make a massive difference to my snoring habits

Do you sleep on your back? If you do, that's almost 100% the reason you're snoring.

I'm the opposite to you, and I snore less after exercise.

As for your blocked nose, it's perfectly normal. You only ever use one nostril at a time to breath through whilst resting.

That's fine, but it's going to cost you in jewellery, flowers, chocolates, shoes, handbags and luxury holidays to keep your wife happy. Otherwise, time to start saving for the divorce

One interesting point that might suggest that anyones snoring is more disruptive than just the noise, any increase in coffee need is usually a sign of sleep trouble.
