To get angry with my DH when he snores all night?

I'll be honest, just needing to have a rant here, girls. He snores practically all night, and not normally. It's a noise like concorde breaking the sound barrier, and it's even worse if he's had a drink. I lie there nudging him for about the first hour trying to get him to either shut up or roll over in the hope that it might be slightly quieter, not always is. I then get that angry with him I possibly keep myself awake thinking of ways to cut off his air supply. I have to get up at the crack of dawn with the kids, while he slumbers soundly for at least another hour or two. Then when he finally drags himself from his pit he has the cheek to tell me what a bad night sleep he's had!!!! It was really broken!!!! Broken?! When was it broken? You spent all night lying on your back snorting like some giant hog! The only thing that's going to be broken is your nose if you carry on!

ihearthuckabees - I am SO with you on the Quies earplugs. I have been wearing them ever since getting together with my DH (13 years ago) and they are so much better than the blunt-ended ones from Boots etc. i do get them from local indpendent chemists rather than online. I am so addicted to them that even when not sleeping with the snore-monster, i have to wear them (it's like a sleep-cue for me now...sad).

OP - I feel yr pain. My DH gives me gip about disturbing him when I jab him and get him to rollover. I do make the point that he must remember that it was HIM that disturbed ME in the first place. Drives me nuts. Tonight and tomorrow night he is out. I am not - which means disturbed sleep for me. Normally I send him to sparerm if he is drinking when I am not - but DBiL is staying (maybe I should make them bunk up together ).

Right. Best get off to sleep before he returns....

DH is a terrible snorer, after years of broken sleep I have finally found something that works for me - I have a fan running at my side of the bed, the white noise distracts me from his snoring and I'm sleeping really well.

@ Shiney - probably because he had a crap night's sleep due to being pinched all the time...

I feel bad - I am 38 weeks pregnant and for the last few weeks I have apparently been snoring terribly, and it's getting worse rather than better. Poor DH has to put headphones in to block out some of the sound. At first he kept prodding me and poking me when I was snoring but I got really cross and said I'd sleep on the sofa, but he has said he will go to the other room if necessary. He hasn't got that desperate yet...

expat - YANBU

sleep deprevation is awful

my dh snores,swears he doesnt and i have recorded him on my mobile and played it back to him in the morning

he refuses to believe it was him and then says i snore

maybe i do but not to his extent

my friend stayed over recently and was in bedroom next door and she said she couldnt beleive that i sleep within a few cms of him - she heard him through the wall and sounded like a warthog!!

def worse when had a drink or on his right side so i nudge/poke/say roll over etc
