I’m watching my husband do this right now. I think taping the mouth shut might work.

Its a form of snoring. The clicking happens when you breathe in through your nose and exhale through your mouth (most common cause) or vice

It is a form of Sleep apnea. If this is a regular thing you do you should speak to an ENT about sleep apnea. If it’s just due to a cold or after you’ve had a few glasses of wine then it’s acute not chronic.

It can be frustrating when a partner's noises or behaviors disrupt your sleep. Clicking sounds can be caused by a number of factors, including teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or even sleep apnea. It's important to identify the underlying cause of the clicking sound to address the issue effectively.
Here are some steps you can take to help address the clicking sound and improve your sleep:
* Observe the clicking sound: Try to observe the clicking sound in detail. Does it happen all night or only at certain times? Does it happen when your partner is in a particular position? Does your partner exhibit any other symptoms, such as snoring or gasping for air during sleep?
* Talk to your partner: Let your partner know how the clicking sound is affecting your sleep and ask if they are aware of it. They may be able to provide more information about when and why it occurs.
* Visit a doctor: If the clicking sound is persistent and disruptive, it may be helpful for your partner to visit a doctor or sleep specialist to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
* Try earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones: Wearing earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones can help block out the clicking sound and other noises that may be keeping you awake.
* Consider separate sleeping arrangements: If the clicking sound continues to disrupt your sleep, you may need to consider separate sleeping arrangements until the issue is resolved.
Remember, it's important to approach this issue with compassion and understanding. Your partner may feel self-conscious or embarrassed about the clicking sound, so it's important to work together to find a solution that works for both of you.

After reading various comments about this I tried the Flo sinus wash before bed and it worked! I am now doing this every night and have gone from keeping my husband awake every night to not clicking at all. Amazing.

Okay that makes sense but me and both of my siblings have been making this noise with our tongues pretty much all our lives we all do it. I was told maybe I quit breastfeeding too early lol. I don’t think that’s accurate but it couldn’t be genetic right?
