I'm the daughter of a locomotive. But for five years now I've slept silently (and with better quality sleep!) using this device from my dentist. http://glidewelldental.com/services/dental-sleep-medicine/silent-nite-sl There are non-prescription devices available with a similar design, but I have no experience with them.being a loud snorer
I was using bite device and my dentist told me to stop because it was damaging to the mouth in some way. She is not the only dentist I have talked to about this. I spoke with one who used to make these for his patients and has stopped saying it causes more damage to the jaw alignment.I'm the daughter of a locomotive.

It might not cause too much damage if only used during the Camino.I was using bite device and my dentist told me to stop because it was damaging to the mouth in some way.

In my case, it did not work either!! Unless you are convinced that it works for you, save the 2-3 ounces.It might not cause too much damage if only used during the Camino.
I have tried a lot of "devices," but none work. Even my CPAP is a marginal cure. Then I bought one of these, and, amazingly, it works!
I'm intrigued - how does it work? Is it comfortable?
I strongly suggest you go to a pulmonologist and arrange for a sleep study. Snoring usually indicates sleep apnea, which means you stop breathing intermittently throughout your sleep cycle. Some people need a CPAP machine, but since I travel so much, and my apnea is very strange and uneven, I was prescribed an apnea mouth guard, which was made by my dentist. Insurance often covers it, and I take it with me everywyere. I was only a light/intermittent snorer, but I always felt exhausted in the morning after a 'good night's sleep". The mouth device (like one you use for grinding your teeth, but upper and lower for the apnea device) is small, unobtrusive, and weighs almost nothing, which is important on the Camino!Hi I saw this little gadget on my Facebook feed https://www.socialhotcakes.com/products/anti-snore-nose-clip#5 I'm not sure how effective it is , but being a loud snorer I'm always on the lookout for info and tips to to help me make my dorm room companions lives easier
I carry lots of extra ear plugs, and pass them out liberally.How do you snorers approach the situation?

By the way, my partner, a LOUD snorer who now does have a CPAP, though he too has an apnea mouth guard for travel, tried those nose strips for years, and they never worked at all for him . . . Good luck.
I am not a snorer. I have been in albergues with very loud snorers, sometimes. How do you snorers approach the situation? I mean, going forth on the Camino knowing you will be sleeping in rooms with several other people for whom the loud snoring may be detrimental to being able to sleep?
Just curious.
. . . . they purr - like a chainsaw!I have an anti-snoring device at home. It is called my wife. If my snoring wakes her up, she ‘gently’ shoves me while simultaneously telling me ‘You are snoring’, through gritted teeth. Of course she does not have the same problem, as she reminds me that women don’t snore, they purr...
