‘This has stopped me keeping my wife awake’

ROBIN GEORGE, 63, a magician, lives in Purley, Surrey, with his wife Sharon, 63. They have two daughters aged 30 and 28. Robin says:

MY SNORING had definitely worsened with age and I was in a separate bedroom to my wife on most nights just to let her sleep. I’d tried inhalers and lavender oil, but nothing made a difference and most mornings I woke up absolutely shattered. The exercises have definitely helped. I’m familiar with some of them as I do that kind of thing before going on stage. The results have been impressive. Before I started, I was snoring loudly for an hour, very loudly for two minutes and only regularly got two hours of ‘quiet’ sleep. Now I will typically snore loudly for 17 minutes, very loudly for less than a minute and enjoy more than six hours of quiet sleep. My wife says she can’t hear me as much and I’m getting much better quality of sleep.
