To murder my husband because he is fucking snoring

I'm afraid it's me that snores. Not very ladylike, but it's true. We have separate bedrooms anyway, but sometimes my darling dh gently hints that I was 'snoring extra loudly last night'. Snoring? Moi?

You Are Being TOTALLY Reasonable!

My DH, can't hear,
"Please be quiet love, would you roll onto your side.."
But when I WHISPERED,
"If you don't stop snoring, I'm going to have to smother you with my pillow,"
he then sat bolt upright & said,
"That's not nice, how would you like to be woken up with someone saying that to you!"
Soooooo unreasonable

My DH was a severe snorer all his life - it was a big joke that people three rooms away could hear him, people on campsites coming over and kicking the tent in the night because of it and so on.
When he finally went to get a sleep study done, turns out he stopped breathing more frequently than once a minute. Very, very severe sleep apnoea. Dr reckons he'd have been dead by 50 as theres such a strong link between OSA and stroke, heart disease (and they are finding links between osa and loads more things).
He's been on CPAP for 8 years now, and there is silence in our bedroom

YANBU.

I actually think snorers should be legally obliged to declare themselves on a first date, so you can make an informed decision.

There's nothing worse than meeting the man of your dreams and then realising he makes a noise akin to the sound of dying cattle in his sleep.

OP I feel your pain.... I thought I had the world loudest snorer next to me, he would have won the prize I thought.

I slept nearly every single night on the couch, or squashed in with dd in her single bed just to get some sleep.

Anyway I suggested insisted that he go see the ENT doctor as there is no way a human being could possibly make that much noise and not be murdered by me have something seriously wrong somewhere.

Lo and behold he was diagnosed with severe sleep apnoea and now has a cpap machine at night. Its bloody bliss I tell you, I sleep in my own bed every night now! The machine is a god send.

I made him try everything, nose spray, those plaster things, a funny metal thing that I have no clue how it should work, but it didn't, sinus medication, earplugs for me....

I only realize now after having slept for 3 months now without being woken up all the time, that I was actually sleep deprived.... I am so much less grumpy, I can concentrate better, I eat better (this is a good thing as I lose my appetite if I'm not 100%).

I think you should insist suggest he go see the ENT too

Separate rooms and the snorer goes in it. That is the only way. Why would you sleep in the same room? It's insane.

if he's stopping breathing he needs to go to a GP, its sleep apnoea.

my DH has a cpap as he stops breathing in his sleep, really loud horrendous snoring, restlessness and daytime grumpy behaviour are all signs of it.

We have separate rooms. I was nearly hysterical through lack of sleep. Now I get a ful night and so does he because I'm not punching him.

I have a snoring DH, he tends to only snore when he is laid on his back. At the minute I just nicely ask him to move over but we will see if I am still doing that after ten years of marriage.

I can be downstairs listening to my sons during their music lessons (electric guitar, drums, singing) & still hear him snoring! And that's during the day when he's sitting on the sofa in the kitchen - awake (yes really!).

My family, when they stay here, can't believe how much our house vibrates when he's snoring! However, I'm not much use as I do sleep right through - the trick is to be completely asleep by the time he comes to bed. The trouble is when I get up in the night and then have to go back to sleep while he's snoring.

He did go through a phase of stopping breathing though - sleep apnea - and I would wake up when he stopped snoring (odd). If he is stopping breathing, please see a Dr as it can be harmful for him.

YAVVVVDNBU.

I am married to a snorer. I can hear him even I'm downstairs and he's in the back bedroom. Nothing works, and I can't wear earplugs cos they hurt after a few nights, and I want to be able to hear the children if they wake up (he'd sleep through an air-raid, so no chance of him waking up). It's hell.

My dp's charming and eloquent reason for his snoring? "My balls cover my arsehole and it makes an air lock"

I do however find petty revenge on said selfish snoring person when I can't sleep cheers me right up - I drew little red dots all over his face the other night when he snored on the sofa

I'm about to migrate to the spare room. I can't stand it any more.

He won't wear the nose plasters. I've tried the ear plugs. The worst, most excruciating one is when he stops breathing to the point where I panic and then lets out an enormous snort.
He complains that I come to bed late or read late but that's because I can't face lying there trying to sleep with all that racket going on.

Me too! I wear earplugs and can only sometimes hear him.
Often he rolls onto his back and starts hissing, he has woken himself up hissing so thankfully believes me when I tell him.
Does he take kindly to a nudge groin kick ?

I used to record him snoring, then play it into his ear.

Now I send him to sleep downstairs. In the basement.

My dad used to do this, intolerable. It was actually just audible from outside the house, with windows closed. I have no idea how my mum didn't kill him. My DH is a relatively light snorer - he does sound like an angry rhino, but one swift kick gentle nudge & he generally turns over.

YANBU. Dh has the loudest snores ever, he wakes up the DC's in the next room. It's like sleeping in a zoo.

Whistle, squee, snore, chomp. Whistle, squee, snore, grunt." Repeat all night.

Earplugs don't work against the sub-sonic sounds. Tried it and failed.

Kick him onto his side? Bastard!

WAX EARPLUGS! It's the only way...

Our three year old did an impression of DH earlier 'Daddy this is how you sound when you are sleeping' etc etc

It was very funny, and earsplittingly loud.

DH 'oh haha DS2 I'm not that loud'

Me 'erm'

DH (quietly under his breath) 'fuck me, sorry'

I'm lying next to my snoring DH right now. I'm up breastfeeding DS and will be a few more times over the course of the night. Not a lot more irritating than someone snoring away happily whilst you're awake!
