To want to do my DP serious bodily harm??

[FarelyKnuts]

It's 6.30am! On a Sunday!!
For the past 5 hours I have slept in 5 minute snatches due to the fact that she WON'T STOP FECKING SNORING
I nudged, I gently rolled her off her back, I stuck a pillow over my head.. All to no avail.
I don't believe in nor condone violence in any way,shape or form but I spent quite a significant part of the night in a murderous rage.
To top it all off I gave up a few minutes ago and got up, she woke up and asked why I was getting up so early and when I informed her it was so I didn't suffocate her because she wouldn't stop snoring she informs me that's impossible as she has been awake half the night!!
AIBU to want to kill her now? :o

My DH stays up late (sometimes 3, 4 or later) playing PC games and drinking red wine. Then comes to bed, wakes me up, wakes DS up, falls into a blissfull slumber and SNORES ALL NIGHT so I can't get back to sleep.

Then - like your DP maintains he slept badly.

Makes me verge on the violent too

Im the snorer in our house, i did wounder why dp hit me with a pillow yeasterday.

On behalf of snorers worldwide - sorry it just happens.

We dont have a spare room but dh is sleeping in dc room right now

I will let you off Air as, unlike my DHm I bet your snoring is not down to you necking two bottles of red before you come to bed

YADefNBU!!!

I get the same 'Oh, I slept really badly!' It's all I can do sometimes not to kick him.
It's fine for the first couple of nights of a really bad spell but anything after that is mental cruelty.
Also earplugs don't work for us because the vibration is all consuming! And I can still hear him wherever I am so I decide not to abandon my bed just to get a bad back as well.

It's not their fault but it can angry up the fists! Not that I have ever hit DH yet

Wine??? Whats that? I havent had wine since i found out i was pg with my 3 year old :(

God YANBU at all. And I don't buy 'I can't help it' as an excuse. Go and see a doctor and try and find a solution. Sleep deprivation is the worst and I can completely see why you are in a rage.

It is like torture. Normally a good nudge off her back does the trick but not today! I have a spare room but I can't sleep in bed that isn't mine and kept hoping she would stop!
DD will be up soon and it's my turn to be up with her so that's my day shattered with tiredness. It galls me even more that DP can snore on for another few hours yet.
Irrational? me?? Nah

Is sleep apneoa a possiblity? You have my deepest sympathies, DH was the same before he was diagnosed. It was so bad that even him sleeping on the top floor of our town house and me sleeping 2 floors below I could still hear him. Now it's much better.

I don't have a snorer. I have a daft arse DH who leaves his radio alarm set for shit o'clock at weekends.

As a snorer I would like to apologise on behalf oculus DP!

My DH consistently jabs, pokes and wakes me through the night because of my snoring. I've not been to the dr's but after reading just how close to murder you non snorers are I think i might just do so (we couldn't afford a funeral right now ).

My DH is actually ok about it but it has got to the poor where he has used the plant misting water spray bottle in my face to wake me - how grim! But it makes him feel better

Ah, I do love him

openerofjars I have one of those too

Dh has sleep apneoa and now uses a cpap. He used to snored loudly all night and then say he had a bad night, it turned out that he was actually getting very little sleep. The sleep clinic in Oxford assessed him and he was given the machine. He's a new man !

That is grim.. but thanks for the tip Cracked :o

I used to drag my pillow down to the other end of the bed so at least DH wasn't snoring straight into my ear.

My friend's DH has one of these and it works for him.

Your good lady needs to see the GP pronto, go together to this appointment. She is not doing this deliberately; snoring can be a serious medical problem in some cases and the cause needs to be determined. It is not trivial for either of you.

Apart from sleep apnoea, problems with the tongue jaw and throat and or a deviated septum can also cause this to arise.

2 bottles of red every night? Or just Saturday night?

I don't think it is sleep apnoea. I think it is likely too much ..
And it is quite possible she feels she slept badly what with all the nudging and thinking of murderous thoughts going on but to snore she had to have been asleep for the rest of the bloody time!

Oh and I would be more likely to fly a rocket to the moon than get my DP to step foot inside a GPs office. She won't even go when she is ill!

What's all this 'gentle nudging' business?? I wouldn't be 'gently nudging' someone who was keeping me awake to the point that I wanted to kill them

I just kick dh...maybe give that a try?

I agree, DH snores, I kick him. He often wakes in the morning with a bruised shoulder and wonders why but it doesn't wake him up. I have found flowing on his face makes him turn over though.

Try that. Or a super soaker.

I have a gadget called a zeo which straps to your forehead and measures when you sleep and the quality of your sleep. So when I complain of a bad night I can back it up with figures and statistics. It makes competitive tiredness fun!

But seriously snoring is not a joke. Get it checked out and sorted.

klaxon Im not totally sure what flowing on her face would consist of?? :o
Sounds messy!
