those breathe right strips really work. and their website is really informative. my snoring i.q. is off the charts.

i don't snore. i do sometimes talk in my sleep, but they have yet to invent a shut-up-right strip. my partner has a tendency to snore. for the past few nights, "we've" experimented with the strips. he comes into the bedroom with that adhesive on his nose looking like he's recovering from a fight down at the pool hall. "oh! my nose! now i'll never be a teen model!"

our bedroom is as quiet as a nunnery after light's out. everybody, the two of us, both get to sleep. i am no longer waking up with a start, wondering if it's thundering outside. the only time i wake up with a start is if i sleepily announce, "but i don't want to go to space camp," and then hear it. otherwise: nunnery.

i doubt my partner will be happy i'm announcing his snoring struggles via internet. but, hey, i didn't use any names.
