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!

Dido - she can do several things, including being fucking apologetic

• She can see the GP to see if it's apnoea, or something else that they can help with
  
• She could try those plasters that widen your nasal passages
  
• She could sleep with a tennis ball or similar sewn into her pjs so she doesn't sleep on her back
  
• She could look at the British Snoring Association (or similar; I forget their exact name) for other tips and advice
  
• She could bring ear plugs with her as a kindness
  

LOADS. Including losing weight, although I appreciate that's not easy.

Do NOT underestimate how fucking murderous sleeping with a snorer can make you. It's been over ten years and I'm getting The Rage just thinking about it?

Thanks Minniebar.

I shared a post natal ward with a woman suffering from sleep apnea my diagnosis not a real one we did not sleep a wink for 3 days and she scared the shit out of ds who was is a cot right beside her every time she stopped breathing and then started snoring again. The thing was her husband kept joking about it with me, I bet you did not sleep a wink etc. but she thought he was taking the piss and was completely unaware. Not a pleasant situation for him I imagine living with the condition day in day out.

[Wibblypiglikesbananas]

I am with you OP! Spent the weekend camping, 7 months PG, and some idiot snored all night, every night, long and loud in the tent next door.

If you snore, why not sort it out?? Rather than inflict it upon those poor souls around you??

My FIL made a comment once about how all mothers should warn their daughters about their future husbands' snoring (MIL has to sleep in the spare room, he snores like a train). I commented that I wouldn't be with someone who couldn't be bothered to take care of their own health properly, sort out a diagnosis if snoring became a problem, and that included their son!

Good luck OP - and don't invite her back!

[Jakadaal]

YAB totally unreasonable!! It is attitudes like yours that means that I am now totally paranoid about staying over at friends/family or share a room. Yes I know I sound like a wild boar but can I do anything about it? Apparently not ... Have tried everything from GP to whacky alternative therapies. Only solution is surgery with no guaranteed results. My only option is either to stay awake (I actually did this in hospital and on a 9 hour long haul flight) or just not travel or visit.

She def needs to help around the house but you def need to lose the sanctimonious attitude that non-snorers seem to wear like a halo. Rant over

[nevergoogle]

So should I stay awake instead again? I have to work in the morning.

If you snore, stay at home where people love you enough for it not to be a problem.

It's not paranoia you've got there.

[Azultrailer]

Jakadaal that's the most entitled thing I've ever read!

Snorers have two choices: go for a rebore, or stay awake.

My husband snores like a tractor and only a large rambling house with the spare bedroom in another wing, has saved us. Many nights I fantasised about doing his uvula with a soldering iron, or simply pressing a pillow over his face till he stopped struggling, but then we moved house, which is as well cos he's a nice bloke.

[Jakadaal]

No OP what I am suggesting is that you make allowances for something that is outside of an individual's control. Alternatively you have an adult conversation with you SIL

Yes I might be paranoid but that is because of some of the entitled attitudes that have come my way in the years all of which insinuate that a snorer does it on purpose.

Alternatively don't come on AIBU if you aren't open to hearing an alternative opinion to your own

[mynameismskane]

Erm, why on earth did you invite her to your house if she is such a snorey, lazy woman?! Why haven't you just told her that you can't cope with the snoring and also to buy some of her own food?

If their is a problem, speak up!

[squoosh]

It's hard to make allowances for someone who is keeping you wide awake whilst they sleep like a baby. It may not be rational but it's the way it is.

[SuzySheepSmellsNice]

How incredibly fucking rude. If you snore like an angry pig all night, stay in a fucking hotel. Don't inflict it on other people. I am gobsmacked that you think other people should have to put up with you. How ridiculously selfish. OP, YANB even a teensy bit U... (and congrats on the pregnancy)

[thenightsky]

Lack of sleep due to being woken endlessly all night is bloody awful. I am amazed there are not actual murders happening.

I do appreciate that the snorer is pretty helpless to stop when its 2am and they are deep in sleep though, but surely they could go to their GP and get a referral like my DH did.

I have been told by exes who snored that 'its not my fault you are a light sleeper, just deal with it'. Hence they are exes.

[HamletsSister]

Am I the only one laughing aloud at "snoring like an angry pig", an expression I have not heard before and is just perfect?

Why not record her and, just as she is trying to sleep, play it back at full volume with the recorder hidden, on a loop.

Then leave the house and go to a B&B?

Before he had his tonsils out, DS1 could be heard downstairs. Noisy little get.

I have been known to snore. But the woman on my postnatal ward was something else. Jesus fuck - she claimed the next day not to have slept, and the midwife was as we had listened to her all bleeding night! (dS was on hourly checks, so we KNEW!)

[deste]

I feel your pain, we had friends sleeping in our motorhome at the weekend so there was no escape. He snored in and out the whole night. He was the only one who slepped all night. I swear never again.

[Bumpotato]

Get her phone, record her and change her ringtone to that recording like I did to DH once

[squoosh]

There's a free app called SnoreClock Sleep Analyzer, it records any snoring and tells you how long you snored for and at what decibel level.

She needs to download this.

[GroupieGirl]

BunchOfBastards - we must have been on the same postnatal ward. Woman in bed opposite snored like a trucker all night, then complained the next morning that she'd got no sleep due to all the noise. Aaarrgghh.

OP Cancel MIL, or at least postpone, cumulative sleep deprivation might make you actually murder someone.

[nevergoogle]

update: explosive argument when I asked them to help tidy the kitchen this evening.
how fucking dare I apparently. how fucking dare I suggest they hadn't been helping. complete swearing stand-off when I asked if either of them had been near the dishwasher since thursday.

I organised to stay at a friends house for tonight, but they wanted to leave.

anyway, they've now gone. not dead. just gone. which is just as good. for now.

DH upset. I'm upset. They are upset. Fucking marvellous.

[nevergoogle]

i looked for a snoring simile and couldn't find one, so made one up all by myself.

Snoring like an angry pig.

[ApocalypseCheeseToastie]

Yanbu.



Kill the bastard.

[thebody]

op you might want to calm down a wee tad.

all this 'dead' wishing is a bit ott.

she snores and that's annoying yes agree but not her fault. she might be a lazy arse guest but still she was an invited guest.

look at it this way, its good to practise sleepless nights now as when the baby comes you won't sleep at all.

just joking.//😃

sure it will all work out but think apologies both sides may be needed.

[ApocalypseCheeseToastie]

Bumpotato I once set dp a ringtone of himself snoring and posted about it on ere. Was I your inspiration perchance ??

[JakeBullet]

Enjoy a peaceful nights sleep tonight. Don't stress it all....they must have been due to go surely.
