Chin straps to keep your mouth shut. A wristband that gives electric shocks: They BOTH snore, so could this sleep starved couple find a cure?

• Louise Atkinson, 49 and husband John, 50, both snore heavily
• They both try different anti-snoring devices each night for a week

For nearly 20 years, my husband Jonathan and I have happily shared a marital bed — and with the late-night partying and early parenting years behind us, we should be getting the best sleep of our lives.

But we’re not. There’s a new interloper between our crisp cotton sheets — the sonorous rumble and snort of heavy snoring. From both of us.

I’m 49 and Jon, a design consultant, is 50. We’re not overweight, we’re healthy and fit, but the snorts and gasps have become ridiculous. It’s a race to hit the pillow every night, as whoever drops off to sleep first wins — leaving the other with no choice but to lie there and endure the cacophony.
