I love you DP, truly I do. But it is 4am and I am starting to feel slightly unhinged.

Listening to you 'breathe' is like a cheese grater to the brain.

I realise murder is not a reasonable response.

I am at the end of my tether.

AIBU?

YANBU. Pillow to the face. Kindest thing for all.

That's why I sleep in a separate room although am wide awake now and I can't even blame DH. Flipping insomnia Xmas Angry

Insomnia here too, exacerbated by falling asleep during Eastenders.

My husband snores like a maniac. He's permanently stationed in the guest room, I make conjugal visits as needed.

Insomnia, not fun D:

Every time there's a lull, I get excited and close my eyes - then he rolls back over and it crescendos again. I swear I'm going slightly mad, I get annoyed when it suddenly changes pattern.

The lulls are cruel.

If my husband has had anything to drink, it becomes exponentially worse.

Hairbrush under his back so when he rolls over onto it, it sticks into him. And then try the nose-tape, and if that fails get him tested for sleep apnoea, which is potentially a serious condition that could cause him long-term problems.

Or go for the pillow, I know I'd feel like it!

I also have a separate room from DH, but that's partly because I co-sleep with the baby - the no-snoring thing is an added bonus! Grin

I currently just jab him with my fingernails until he moves. I am a cruel an unforgiving sleep deprived woman.

YANBU, Next step is "I hate you because you sound like a drill". Someone should go to the couch before you get to that.

Thumbwitch · 04/12/2013 04:53

Nah, go for the hairbrush if you have one - you might break a nail and then you'd have another reason to be frustrated with him! Grin

Mine gets annoyed if I wake him to make him stop, so now I just make a loud noise and pretend to still be asleep so he thinks he woke himself up.
