Hello all ive had a terrible night with partners snoring . Again i was woke by this and did not drop off until 4. We do not have a spare room . The issue is this , i have reached the end off my rope now to the point of feeling anxious every night . I wear ear plugs and have tried loads of others but i wake as the snoring is so loud. He says i snore too but he can sleep through it which is true but i only snore occasionally. He is overweight and if hes had a drink it is worse ( he had wine last night). The issue is i want to tell him i never want to sleep in the same bed as him again ,ive had enough , im so fed up of feeling teary cos im tired and now im starting a stressful job too .i want him to lose weight and not drink but how would you say this ? Im honestly on my last legs now ????? Please help. Ps he has been offered a cpap machine trial but is scared to go to the hospital to get it cos of covid and selfishly how will that help me ? Im desperate here

Just tell him straight. Might be the jolt he needs to make some changes.

If he had been offered a cpap he must have been positive for sleep apnea.

If he won't fetch it he cannot be all that bothered about how it's affecting you, or him for that matter. Does he know it's a dangerous condition?

I spent many a night on the couch. Don't recommend it for the back but at least I got some sleep and could function reasonably the next day. Sleep deprivation is an awful thing.

I'm divorced now but remember very clearly the frustration and just wanting to cry when I wasn't able to sleep through that noise.

CPAP totally stops my dh from snoring. It was a total game changer
