Please help me before I totally lose my shit!

Make sure he is using strips and spray, and not drinking alcohol just before bed. Try snoring pillow. Prop him up with extra pillow helps. If all else fails get him to go on a diet.

my hubby was the same could here downstairs if he was upstairs in bed. he has sleep apnea had tests done he was actually only sleeping deep sleep 13 minutes per hour the rest he was not fully asleep hense the loud noise he was stopping breathing, he now wears a sleep ap mask ans is connected to a machine he now is much more quite and i get a good nights sleep. worth gp check up it is dangerous,

Good idea to check for sleep apnoea. If gets all clear, ask your dentist about a snoring device. Its a kind of mouth guard to wear while you sleep which you can adjust each night until snoring stops. Worth a try.

Snoring is something I can’t live with. I don’t have any long term experience of it ( thankfully) but sharing a hotel room with my snoring mum made me seethe with silent rage. If I had a partner who snored I’d probably have to dump them !

My OH mother snores worse than him and our DD is competing with them both. She is pin thin and I am fairly sure it’s her adenoids. She is becoming embarrassed about the snoring and I may take her along to the GP for a referral to ent

I'm the snorer in our house. Apparently it's really bad. The kids have even said they've heard me. I'm not overweight, I don't sleep on my back, I don't smoke or drink so no idea why. I've been to the GP who just said there is an op but it's unpleasant and often doesn't work. That was it. No suggestion of it being sleep apnea even though I'm permanently exhausted and have had a chronic illness for years (which I've always had a niggle 'what if it's not that' as there are no tests for it), but sleep apnea could be the reason.

Oh god I totally feel your pain! I am 3 months pregnant and fucking angry all the time and at everyone especially my husband, so you can imagine how the snoring goes down! I literally get so worked up I could either punch the or cry! Oh god was anyone this angry at 4 months preg? I am waiting for the gushy, glowing moment to arrive.....it isn’t coming anytime soon! Grrrrrrr

Move into another room! And for the neighbours & his healths sake, he should see his dr and arrange having a Cpap (? Spelling) machine !!

Macks earplugs are awesome and cheap. There are different levels but eBay is your best bet. My dh is horrific but they do tend to block it enough for me to sleep.

To everyone saying "Oh if he died you would give anything to hear him snoring again" - that may well be true, but you could say that of any annoying or unpleasant habit - that does not mean you should have to put up with it especially if it is affecting your health

Sorry, you arent getting any sleep and barely able to function but he’s a bit sensitive about his weight and so that can’t be mentioned?

Bugger that for a game of toy soldiers.

Make him a GP appointment, and put him on rations.

I use the silicone ear plugs and try to go before him, it's a nightmare and honestly I've been close to killing him! I remember one really bad week (before ear plugs) it's been a really bad week of snoring and I cracked one night and just screamed like actual screamed! I can laugh now but that level of sleep deprivation combined with seeing them sleeping but making a racket like an earth quake, obvious to you was too much. He does make an effort now to roll on his side and I nudge him in the night if I hear him with my ear plugs in and he readjusts his pillows and stuff which helps

I feel for you .after years of terrible snoring my husband has had some skin removed from the back of his throat .very painful !we’ve had to pay for it no NHS any more for this operation but it does seem to have worked !!

My DH is a snorer and I am a light sleeper. Bad combo!!! I find earplugs do help a bit. Then repeated shoving in the back, making him adjust his position and drink some water. Although (and this has made me want to stab him!!) on occasions when I’ve woken him multiple times, like every 2 minutes, he’s got really shirty and told me to stop waking him up as “there’s no point in BOTH of us being kept awake!!” Words fail me!!

1st DH snored horrendously and would stop breathing. I used to wake up and dig him in the ribs to make him inhale. Eventually he was sent for a sleep study and they found he stopped breathing nearly 200 times in one night! A CPAP machine helped a lot.

The nose or throat spray work with mine - but it has about a 2 week build up time before its fully effective

Put a pillow over his face and press until he stops
On a serious note, he needs to lose weight, it’s hell. My dh snores too but with earplugs i cope.

May be worth checking if he has sleep apnoea. Get him to see his doctor x

Glad he is going to see the doctor. Sleep apnoea can be a very serious medical problem.

He will probably be told to lose some weight by the doctor, and hopefully the snoring will be investigated properly. If they dismiss him without investigation, send him back to a different GP.

Be careful with the sleeping pills, OP.

Sorry only just seen this post. I bought my dp some silicone nose plugs off Amazon. You get different sizes so can find best one. They are like little cups with airvents and have a thing that attaches them that goes on the outside to stop them being inhaled. Absolute godsend!

I don't hesitate to wake dh up and turn him on his side. This usually works. If necessary I wedge him on his side by sleeping very close to him. Snoring is really bad for people as many have said upthread, it is important to stop the snoring not just to block out the sound itself. He does complain if woken but I think it would be much worse for him to have sleep apnoea because I hadn't stopped the snoring posture (which happens when he lies on his back) Dh has also had a thrombosis 4 years ago so he is susceptible to cardiac problems. I just don't tolerate snoring. If it went on and turning didn't work, I would force him to the doctor

Insomniac married to a snorer here.

Separate rooms are the only way....30years married. 27 years in separate rooms = happy marriage

My DH not only snores, he also has night terrors so screams, shouts and swears throughout the night. I recently bought a white noise machine which helps a bit (although he complains about the noise of it!)

I feel your pain. We have tried everything - GP ruled out any issues - and now I always sleep with earplugs, take magnesium tablets before bed, and try to get to bed first. Usually DP sleeps in the spare room on a Sunday night, because that’s when I am most likely to sleep badly, and always if he’s been drinking or has a cold.
