plus roll him on his side / smack him on the shoulder and quickly pretend to be asleep...

Thanks linski :-)

Yes worth it. Made me laugh and I take guffaws where I can get them nowadays

Yes it was worth it, made me laugh when I've been bloody miserable all day! Plus currently struggling with a dreadfully snoring DH!

2 months is hardly zombie, look at the ones that have been resurrected thanks to 15 years of mumsnet....

Was it worth searching for and then reviving this zombie thread just for that? Maybe you snore too.

Yes yes to all of this, long suffering wife here :-)

Note to self: do not read threads on mumsnet about murdering husband who snore when you are recovering from abdominal hernia surgery. Laughing hurts a lot.....

Making me hate him !

I sent dh to the doctor as his snoring was make me me hate him, he said what can they possibly do ?? What should I even say ???

I said tell him your gf sent you, it's not a problem for you but a problem for me and I'm going to do something about it. He came back with medicine for polyps, it's definitely got better.

However the main reason he went to the doctor was because I wouldn't sleep with him, he slept in the front room for a week

My husband snores and when he has a cold. OMG.

My two dogs snore. It's a completion. One dog even talks squeals and barks in his sleep.

The whole house vibrates and I just lie there sleepless. Moving isn't an option as it's just as loud in spare room.

Re alcohol as a factor, it may be in some cases, my DH doesn't drink at all but his snoring has to be heard to be believed.

His weight does fluctuate and it's certainly worse when he gains weight.

but has this funny thing where he will be snoring as far as I am concerned, so I nudge him or ask him to rollover, at which point he tells me is isn´t asleep and that is just the way he breathes and proceeds to get angry with me for inventing snoring stories!!!

I could have written this word for word...

Debjud - yes there is a link. DH snoring was bad, but much much worse if he had been drinking.

My DP is a hideous snorer. We have been sleeping apart since DS was born (17 months) because I could handle the sleep deprivation from night time BFing but not the double attack of his ruddy snoring. He does believe he snores but has this funny thing where he will be snoring as far as I am concerned, so I nudge him or ask him to rollover, at which point he tells me is isn´t asleep and that is just the way he breathes and proceeds to get angry with me for inventing snoring stories!!! At the other end of the spectrum we have his sleep comas where he is dead to the world sounding like a pig giving birth. He is a bad sleeper so once he does finally reach that stage I don´t like to wake him up, again hence separate rooms. It isn´t very romantic...............

Dear god I nearly killed DH this morning; having spent most of last night being kept awake by his snoring when he dropped off on the sofa this morning (off work with manflu) I nearly killed him. Told him to go back to bed & when he said he'd rather nap on the sofa I told him to go or else!

I wouldn't even call it justifiable manslaughter.

The noise he makes some night..... mercy killing would be the phrase I'd use.

To those of you who got this investigated, do you know if there's a link between snoring and alcohol? DH snores like a pig - I spend much of the night getting him to turn over. But he also has a bottle of wine every night. Apart from other obvious problems with this - is snoring connected with it do you think?

not the nicest wording OP to be honest

Fromparis, you don't have a dh who snores, do you...

YABU for calling it murder. It's justifiable manslaughter.

That said, I'm about to move into a house that needs a new patio. >nods sagely & taps nose

Going back to the weight issue. The woman from the company who we got the cpap machine says that a lot of her clients are overweight, but not all. The one thing that most of them do have, is a thick neck.

And in the 3ish months that dh has been using his, he has lost about 5 kgs, without changing any eating or drinking habits.

I'm sure that being overweight is the cause in some instances, but not all, it is a vicious circle as the metabolism is messed up due to not sleeping, and this causes weight gain.

Oh and the funniest thing she did say (we have been going in monthly to download the information from the cpap machine so we can monitor it for first few months).. when dh walked in, she said "ooh murphys dh, you do look lovely and pink, this is a good sign

We got one of these fitted to my ExH Snorguard ... it was the best $800 we'd ever spent - stopped the snoring completely. It was so good that when the dog munched it up we did the insurance claim and then purchased a new one, plus a spare for just in case!

He had minor sleep apnea and snored whether he was on back, front, side or whatever. It sounds similar to what the dentist fitted to someone upthread. MAGIC!

Resolved his incredibly shit memory, improved his mood (not enough as it turns out - but the rest was his personality) and improved my life out of sight.

If DH is willing then it could be a good thing (although I'm not sure what it would be called or where you would get one anywhere outside of NZ)

Meantime , for you...

Get earplugs on Amazon
I know how irritating snoring is

I heard a confession on the radio about a ladies dh had woken up confused at to why he had a very sore knee only to be later told by the doc it was dislocated. She had done it kicking him to stop snoring.

read page one only, sorry, it's late (and DH is away...!) BUT he bought something like this on ebay.

Our marriage has been saved. He had to commit to it (as the snorer can't understand the issue...); sore tongue for a day or two (matches my sore ears and bad mood for more than a day or 2 wearing earplugs...)

Persuade and cajole; But do try! I genuinely can't believe how much better my nights are!

I had my own snorer thread a few weeks back. It's a fuckin nightmare isn't it and it leads to real resentment.

I hate it.

I tried ear plugs and hated the feel of them
