to think that if you snore like an angry pig all night every night that you shouldn't inflict it on anybody by visiting people ever ever ever ever?

[nevergoogle]

DSIL is making me feel homicidal.

Has been visiting since Thursday has snored every night all night for 4 nights.

I had to sleep on my own sofa last night with a film on to drown out the noise and it's now 6.30am and I've been awake for an hour already listening to it. I've had about 4 hours sleep.

It's ALL night. Apart from when she goes to the loo, and that wakes me because I wake because the noise stops! But never fear, within 30 seconds of returning to the spare room.

Oh but it's all so fucking hilarious to snore isn't it? Oh how she will laugh and fake embarrassment.

We have one more night to go, I swear, never ever again is this woman sleeping in my house.

SHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHEEEEEEEEE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK UUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPP!


Alternatively, am I being unreasonable...
how are the other 4 people in this house sleeping throught this fucking racket?
is it only irritating me because i'm pregnant?,
or because I came off my anti-depressants that usually make me much more tolerant of others being selfish dicks.

ENOUGH ALREADY, THIS IS NOT NORMAL!

Tell her to visit her GP, sound like she has sleep apnoea which can be dangerous to her health.....although YOU might currently be more of a danger to her health as she has left you murderous

Overweight or not....sleep apnoea affects lots of people, more likely if overweight but no guarentee even if you are NOT overweight.

I have sleep apnoea and sleep with a mask and CPAP machine at night.....I am told I no longer snore.

[SkinnybitchWannabe]

freewee I use those earpligs and I agree they are definitely the best.

[yegodsandlittlefishes]

Sleep well!

[SkinnybitchWannabe]

plugs my oh snores like a pig..always has done.
I kicked him out of my bedroom years ago.
He's now going through texmsting at hospital to see whats wrong.
I think you should find a way to tell her that she might have a sleep disorder..recording her would show her just how loud she is.
Congrats of the pregnancy

[SkinnybitchWannabe]

Omg sorry.. testing

[CruCru]

I once recorded DH snoring and he got quite shirty with me. Hope you have a nice sleep.

[christinarossetti]

Ear plugs are your friend. Available in all large supermarkets open today.

[Azultrailer]

Boots "muffles" wax ear plugs cut out even more noise. My husband snores like a pig in a war.

[Rosesarebeautiful]

Lots of sympathy... My MIL snores so loudly you can hear her throughout the house (when we stay). I've had to move rooms down to her lounge just to get some sleep

But... She has no idea how loudly she snores & I just get laughed at the next day for 'sleeping' on the settee

And, yes, I think it probably is sleep apnoea, but it's very difficult to broach that with her.

[TheNaughtySausage]

Really feel for you OP. But she isn't snoring on purpose. I'm a snorer if I'm very very tired or pissed and it got really, really bad when I was pregnant...

I've lost weight since then and still snore occasionally but nowhere near as bad.

She needs to lose weight and see her gp.

[FoxyHarlow123]

Not in a million years would I have her stay in my house ever again. Lazy freeloading mare. The snoring is the icing on the cake. Hope you're currently getting some sleep!

[Dawndonnaagain]

Congratulations!

I have a son who snores. He is also seriously overweight and nothing was working. I finally persuaded him to go to the Doctor and for some unknown reason he let me go with him. So, I told Doctor and requested sleep apnoea tests.
Turns out he stops breathing 80 times an hour. At 28 years old and weighing slightly more than his age, the consultant laid it on the line. He is losing weight now, and is under no illusions, if he doesn't lose enough in the time period, he's in for bariatric surgery.

[EastwickWitch]

I feel for you. DH snores & I often plan complicated murders in the middle of the night.
I once woke him up by lifting the duvet back & pouring 2 litres of cold water on him. He woke up shouting then went back to sleep & I had to sleep in a wet bed.
Separate rooms for us & the Boots blue ear plugs, when he's been drinking.

[thebody]

but its good that you get in so well. //😆 I foresee her as god mother and you all holidaying together.

[nevergoogle]

haha, you do huh?

I have now slept. What a fabulous use of a bank holiday!

Am now getting on with my day. Soup to make for my lunches this week and some decluttering to do. I am not entertaining nor passifying any other fucker today. I am going to watch trash on iplayer in my room while i sort through my shoes.

Will pop out later to buy ear plugs too. And will charge up ipod as if the ear plugs fail I will listen to classical musical downstairs all night instead.

One more night to go, one more night to go ohhhhmmmmmmmm.

[GhostsInSnow]

You have my deepest sympathy (as well as my congratulations btw). Dh is a snorer and there is no getting away from it.
I think some people (not on here I add I mean in rl) don't appreciate the effects living with a snorer can have on the partner.

I can be miserable and snappy simply because I'm so bloody tired. He's also as bad because even a snorer can't sleep properly through it.
I've been through every ear plug I can find and most only cover 39db which isnt enough.

My advice, when she's gone go to bed lol

[thenightsky]

I have occasionally woken to find myself strangling DH. That frightened both of us so he went off to the doctor to get sorted. Turned out his nose was full of polyps. He now just snores lightly when he's been on the beer.

[Xiaoxiong]

I snore very lightly when I'm not pregnant.

When I am pregnant I snore like a pneumatic drill.

I asked the MW what I could do about it and she said "er...have the baby!" Apparently it's something to do with general swelling of all soft tissues that's hormonal and very common.

So, congratulations! But look out OP, what goes around might come around

[nevergoogle]

I am in a foul mood today. Lots of tears.

Have just had tense words in the corner with DH.
I'm saying please have some understanding of how tired I am and how i'm trying to cope on very little sleep so please don't expect me to be sociable. (am currently hiding in my room decluttering).
He's saying, quite rightly, there is nothing he can do but asking that I don't tired myself out more sorting all these boxes.

We really don't need this shit. Am seriously considering cancelling MIL's visit next week.

[squoosh]

My sympathies OP, being kept awake by a snorer is torturous.

There are apps you can download that record all snoring episodes throughout the night. Get her to do this and maybe it will shock her into taking action.

Just be thankful you don't live with her full-time.

[nevergoogle]

episodes?? hahahahaha

[DidoTheDodo]

YABU. What do you expect her to do about it?

[nevergoogle]

I expect her to die, Mr Bond.

[nevergoogle]

Bottom line, she shouldn't stay at other people's houses.
