Right, when the snoring gets cut back it's much better, and, as you said, some solid four-hour co-bedding sessions can be pulled off.

It all depends, by the way, if the snoring is due to sleep apnea or allergies. On the sleep apnea, it's serious, but I don't know what to do about it. On the allergy thing, there's a new non-antihistamine, non-decongestant called Nasalcrom mist, which, unlike the others, had no rebound effect. It works on a totally different theory, preventing allergies rather than treating them once they're started. By the way, also home-made saline mist by itself is great, like a 50th of a teaspoon of salt with water in an empty sprayer. But stay away from antihistamine and decongestant sprayers, they have a rebound effect that totally messes things up. At last, and this is slightly more risky, one can go full nasal steroid, although after a while one gets odd infections and has to get off the stuff. But it does the same thing Nasalcrom does, but way more. I think it's called Beconase.
