I am literally about to throw my husband out of a window.
I know it's not his fault, but it isn't mine either, and I can't deal with it anymore. Our relationship is otherwise really good, but his snoring is so awful and I am so sick of no sleep. I sleep badly anyway, but this just makes it so much harder. I rarely fall asleep before 3am, and then have to get up at 7am. Any sleep I do get is broken because the snoring wakes me up continually.
There is nowhere else in the house for me to go and sleep. We regularly have to sleep downstairs because we have an elderly dog who can't get up the stairs any longer, and he often wants company at night, which neither of us has any problem doing and we take it in turns, but the living room is directly below our bedroom and his snoring is so bad that it reverberates through the house and keeps me awake even from another room on another floor.
It never used to be this bad, but it's getting much worse with age (he's 40 now). Our 'babies' are 10 and 4, I have done enough sleepless nights with them! We've tried over the counter stuff which makes no difference, but ultimately, I don't actually think he takes it seriously at all. Half the time when I get pissed off, he claims that he wasn't even asleep?!
Our GP surgery is so inundated that there isn't a solitary chance we'd get an appointment or any help from there if we tried. The majority of the time lately they are closed to all except emergencies, which this doesn't fall under.
What is the answer?! I really do understand that this isn't his fault, but it's having a huge impact on me. It isn't lifestyle related, he's not overweight, doesn't smoke, is completely t-total, works out and is relatively fit and healthy, so it's not like he can change any of those things in order to help. So what can we do?! I'm tempted to get a blow up bed or something and put it in my son's room as he is furthest away from my room and would give me the best chance of not hearing and possibly sleeping but a) he sometimes snores/talks in his sleep b) it's not an adequate long-term solution! My daughter's room is next to mine, so I can't go there as I can still hear it.
Any advice?! Anyone else manage this? It's 2:10am and he's next to me snoring like a steam train on crack and I'm wide awake as usual. ðŸ˜
