Halo style chinstrap as it doesn't interfere with my Dreamwear frame.
This other style of chinstrap is utter crap, stretches out easily, the holes don't match up with your ears, and easily slides forwards or backwards, and worse of all, goes over your head exactly in the same location the Dreamwear frame goes so they aren't compatible.
I'm allergic to adhesives, so I was never willing to try the exterior strips. When I was between my diagnosis and getting my machine, I used a plastic thing (www.amazon.com/SleepRight-Intra-Nasal-Breathe-Aids-Breathing/dp/B075KMJNXY) that fits inside the nostrils, pushing them apart. They lasted far longer than 2 weeks for me. They aren't compatible with my nose pillows, but if I ever moved to a full face mask, I'd probably use them again.
Absolument ! Je n'ai jamais retourné à l'arrière après avoir acheté ma Edwin Jagger et des lames Japonaises Feather! Quel bonheur !

Snoring or disrupted sleep is a danger to both the snorer's sleep health and relationships as a whole. For the snorer, it can lead to long term health effects and is a symptom of a greater issue. Furthermore, it affects the sleeping partner's sleep quality and leads to resentment, fighting, and many couples have to sleep separately as you said, which effects intimacy - most people like a good cuddle! When someone has the flu they go to a doctor, drink lots of water or tea, and take medicine. Snoring should be viewed and treated similarly, as the medical issue it is.
If he is wriggling or moving in the night it could well be due to him lightly waking himself up with his snoring. Sleep studies are indeed useful, though it may be worth getting some more information and trying a couple of remedies before forking out the money for one, as they can run from hundreds to a couple of thousand dollars.
Snorelabs is a useful app which tracks snoring data such as volume, amount of snoring, snoring/ sleep cycle etc. and it's a good place to start. Other common factors which cause snoring are smoking, age, sleeping position, diet, being overweight, allergies, and environment (hot/dry bedrooms). Your partner may suffer from sleep apnea, which can be a very serious condition if left undiagnosed. Look into some of the common symptoms of that. Once you've narrowed down some potential causes, try to treat them - stop smoking, change diet, try to lose some weight and so on. In the meantime, there are various nose plugs and chin straps which could serve as a short term solution. We have a product, Motion Pillow, which may also be able to help.
I hope you both get some good sleep soon!
Something like this
I notice my sleep apnea skyrocket with my chin too low like I mentioned. But you can also get the triangle wedge pillows if he's a back sleeper. My bil swears by then for his apnea but he's a back sleeper and I'm a side sleeper. Basically anything that makes your neck bend towards your chest, regardless the side you're sleeping on, will cause problems. As well as a droopy mouth. So most inserts plus a chin strap might work nice and is cheap.
In the past year I've started having tons of strange symptoms, including alopecia and Sjogren's-like symptoms, which I'm fairly confident are autoimmune, although I was seronegative for everything, including Sjogren's, on an autoimmune panel.
At the beginning, I did have sores in my mouth, and I think that's largely because I was sleeping with my mouth open. Eventually, my mouth was so dry that if it opened at night, the inside of my mouth would hurt and it would wake me up, and I was also worried about tooth decay, gum recession, and vocal damage. Some things that have helped me keep my mouth closed at night are these nasal strips and this sinus rinse a couple hours before bed if I notice a stuffy nose. I used to prop my head up with pillows, although I no longer need to. When my symptoms were worse, I also used this mouthwash. During the day, the dryness was irritating, which just forced me to keep my mouth closed unless I was exercising.
Keep an eye on the teeth and gums around the opening of your mouth. For me, it's mostly the bottom front teeth, and I notice that I just need to make sure I floss often. My singing voice is also declining, but I don't really know what to do about that.
I haven't been able to get anything helpful out of the doctors I've seen, but I've been able to make improvements with diet. I track all of my lifestyle factors closely in a spreadsheet and analyze the data in python. I highly recommend tracking your symptoms, diet, sleep, exercise, supplements, and anything else you think might have an effect. I'm starting a group for people with autoimmune or undiagnosed diseases to talk about what's helped and hurt them, data analysis, doctors, etc. PM me if you're interested, and anyone else who reads this, feel free to PM me as well.
Maybe try using one of these so your mouth can stay close and see if you notice a difference.

I also have narcolepsy and sleep apnea. There are sleep doctors that are either dentists or have a dentist that can fashion a device for you that positions your jaw in such a way that keeps your airway open. Make sure they give you the thing that you bite on after you take it out, though, to prevent jaw problems. A lot of insurance companies will not cover it, but, it is worth it. If this does not sound like a desirable option to you, there are also devices that you can put in your nose that cost about $10 on Amazon. I will put a link below. I have not used this because my nostrils are too small for it, but, my dad also has sleep apnea and refuses to wear the mask, so he uses it and it works wonders.
Edit: $15

I could not tolerate my CPAP either. Ditched it for a tongue retainer. Got mine here.....

hey sorry for the late reply!! i’m actually not home right now and i don’t have my straw with me but it looks like this plain straight one!! it’s not anything fancy but i think it’s cute! she had the bended one though :p
Here is the one I use now, and I can’t say enough good things about it. 9 years on CPAP and this is the best I’ve slept.
Hey, congrats, mind if I ask you how you knew that it was your nasal pillows?
I'm really struggling now, going on about a month and a half of daily use. I've had like 3-4 days of GREAT sleep in that time, but can't ever seem to achieve it consistently every night. I noticed the last few nights that my mouth keeps opening leading to the machine waking me up. I can't seem to keep my mouth shut while sleeping no matter what I do.
I'm going to try taping my mouth shut with medical tape tonight. Also bought a strap that will hold my chin up that will get here in a few days (similar to this). But maybe I just need to try the full mask?
Most of the time I'm living in a flat so what I do it use a quick detailer (US link / UK link) and microfibre (US link / UK link) to keep things clean between proper washes. In fact I keep a bottle of quick detailer and a one of glass cleaner in the car at all times (I wrap a microfibre cloth around the spray head and put the combo in the driver/passenger door pocket).
Basically if you can catch any big, obvious dirt e.g. bird crap, early then it makes things easy.
If you manage to get some time, putting on a good coat of really hard wearing wax (US link / UK link) or sealant (US link / UK link) will be really helpful. It should last a year and make cleaning with quick detailer much easier.
As for the headlights, the yellow colour comes from the plastic oxidising. You need to scrub away that layer and then protect it. Toothpaste works quite well but there are dedicated products like (US link / UK link). Afterwards I'd apply some 303 Aerospace protectant (US link / UK link) which is also great for the interior plastic.
Update: Doctor looked at results of study. 3 events sleeping on side for 3 and half hours. Really bad for the rest of the study on back. He said perhaps we just need to keep you off your back.
Prescription, a shirt with a tennis ball in the back to prevent me from sleeping on my back. Then, while I’m off finasteride, do a home sleep study to see how I actually sleep. I hope this makes a difference. Now if I could find a shirt that wasn’t a men’s shirt (ugh!).

How about this wine glass (they have a cat one too) and a nice bottle of wine?
On a related note, the feed can swap if you want to use a hopper, though I can't ever seem to find the one that clamps on securely like this https://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Elite-Paintball-Feedneck-Black/dp/B00WGRZ1BS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
instead of the cheap slip on version
If you have an external enclosure yes. Like: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OKOG6JQ?psc=1
Buy him these (examples of recommended products only, not specific name/brand/item recommedations, please do your own research for best fit for your circumstances and budget)
Many snorers have chronically blocked sinuses (that's why even non-snorers tend to snore when they have a cold) so the nasal strips help open them up for better, quieter breathing. Also, if he has apnea, his throat is closing and the snore is from the air being forced through the closed or severely restricted space (obviously). The mouth guard can help his jaw and throat align better for better breathing.
Buy them, give them to him with something like: Dude, your snoring is killing me, and I think it's really serious. I can't sleep through it, it's so loud. I really think you should see a doctor, but for now would you just try these please to see if they'd help? Sleep apnea can have major negative impact on your life and health, so I want you to get checked out so you don't cause long term problems. But I also want to sleep myself, now.
I am NAD but these are things that helped me on my journey. I have confirmed sleep apnea now, used a cpap for a while, became CPAP intolerant, now use a $4500 custom mouthguard and earplugs and sleep better than I have in years.
While you're waiting for insurance to get the sleep study, grab some devices to help reduce your snoring.
Anti snoring belt to help you sleep on your side, or make your own by sewing pockets for tennis balls onto the back of a shirt.
Nasal Dilators. Breathe Right nasal strips are available locally and help a little bit, but nasal dilators tend to help more.
