Answer by Shawna M
You can’t fake snoring all night long, so if it’s most of the night – I would say it’s not an act.
Earplugs might help.

How well does a tonsillectomy cure sleep apnea?
Question by Free Thinker: How well does a tonsillectomy cure sleep apnea?
I have sleep apnea and have a tonsillectomy scheduled for later this year. How well does this fix sleep apnea?
Best answer:
Answer by Dan1284
Tonsillectomies alone do not ‘cure’ sleep apnea. Surgical remedies for sleep apnea usually are for those patients that do not respond well to other treatments, usually surgery is a last resort.
The correct term for the surgery is called a Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, it removes parts or all of the uvula, soft palate, tonsils, adenoids, and pharynx. Its success rate is about 50%. Basically its a coin flip.
The tonsillectomy could work, only if its enlarged. Same goes with the other parts that I listed above. The enlarged tissue(s) tend to obstruct your airway when you sleep, especially when you lie on your back.
I would recommend getting a second opinion and see if your doctor would recommend a sleep study performed on you. Also check with your insurance if it is covered.
Usually, sleep apnea can be resolved with diet and treatment using a CPAP machine (Continous Positive Airway Pressure). It can significantly improve your sleep.
Good luck and have a good night’s sleep!
