I know this is unreasonable... husband sleeping.

[justgeton]

Reasonably lighthearted... She says, curling her lip....

I often lie awake for hours.. I'm a very poor sleeper, tossing and turning.. too hot, busy legs, blah blah

But listening to him BREATHING does my head in 😡😡. In fact all the noises he makes in his sleep.. it's as bad as noisy eaters 😤

I know I'm a grumpy old bag so no need to point out the fact it's just envy....

( no point to this thread whatsoever... just so BORED)

Separate bedrooms for over a decade...we are now mid 40’s but it’s was a matter of life or death (divorce) he’s sounds like a herd of wildebeest during mating time. It works for us.

DP gets upset when I move to spare room (sometimes I do snore lightly but he manages to sleep through) so then I have to suffer the "poor me, feel neglected, you don't fancy me, I just want to snuggle" comments! Am I alone in dealing with this as well as the snoring? Which I have actually recorded on phone as evidence

This shit royally pisses me off. Look him dead in the eye and ask him why his feelz are more important than you getting a decent night's sleep. Get an answer, selfish fuckers they are. Infuriates me

Seperate bedrooms here. I love my room.

so he sleeps, indicating that he is in his element (relaxed and sleeping) while you lie awake, dissatisfied with the boredom of it all. And listening to him and his contented sleep noises.

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman.

Arghhhhhhh!!! That bloody clock sound. It makes me want to scream. 🤯🤯

I clearly meant clicky sound.

Have you tried having your own bedroom all done out just like you'd want your PERFECT bedroom without the heaving breathing / snoring / farting / elbow in the head?

Wild horses wouldn't get me to share a bedroom ever again.

Totally love my DH. In his own room. Not in mine.

Separate rooms. It’s bliss!!! Plus I get the en-suite.

Oh my life.
I hate sharing a bed with my husband. I love him dearly, but he farts all freaking night long, snores despite a sleep apnea machine (yes, he has an appointment to see them again), and keeps unsociable hours. He is also very very hot! So much so I can't even sleep with the duvet on in the winter.
Then our daughter was born, and the only way I got any respite at all was co-sleeping with her. 3.5 years later he hasn't moved back in full time- and its bloody lovely! He has his man hole, I have my beautiful space. All is good!

I wish I could sleep in a separate room - his snoring wakes me up at night

Separate room for me too. I'll never go back to sharing a bed. I love being able to read/ listen to music/ watch programmes that I like. Absolute bliss. I moved into a separate room due to hubby's earth shattering snores. Best thing I've done in a long time. I've got my sanity back.

Have you tried taking magnesium for your legs? (missing the point entirely)

@Leah2005

Have you tried taking magnesium for your legs? (missing the point entirely)

No... should I? (Willing to try anything tbh)

DH and I watch TV together in bed and then he kindly disappears off to a single
Bed and leaves me in peace so I get some sleep!!

His mouth makes popping sounds when he's sleeping, I could smother him

Solidarity. I have one with a popping mouth, too.

@forgetthehousework

I'm fairly sure that I snore so I try not to complain about the noises DH makes, but omg, his restless legs! I'm just dropping off to sleep and there they go, strong enough to actually make the mattress bounce. Fortunately not every night or I'd be forced to weight them down or something.

Chop them off. It's the only way.

I find placing the duvet over their faces shuts them up for a while

@justgeton I have been taking them for a couple of months now and they have definitely helped my sleep. They allow your muscles to relax - you'll have to Google it. Night fidgets are often due to low magnesium. A pillow over the face also helps with noisy sleepers particularly if you lean quite hard.

Separate bedrooms but I can STILL hear him snoring like a wounded warthog.

I'm 39 weeks pregnant and my DP is a saint for never complaining when I wake him up every 40 minutes to go for a wee, hitting him because I'm dreaming, pregnancy snoring, all sorts...

He's a silent sleeper. It's one of his best qualities

Oh, incidentally, when they wake in the morning and stare at you as you sit there beary eyed and irritated, if they open their mouth and say 'oh, I've tossed and turned all night, haven't slept at all, go and make me a coffee, would you?' you are actually, legally, allowed to kill them

Oh my god this. DP regularly claims in a mournful voice, "I was up all night" you sodding weren't you lying git because I was AWAKE listening to you SLEEP.

We have a fan on every night. It masks the sound.

He's a silent sleeper. It's one of his best qualities.

Do you really think this is better though? An ex would just lie down and go silent. He didn't move or make any sound until morning. It was like lying next to a deactivated robot, and slightly sinister.
