To murder my husband because he is fucking snoring

[Hurricaneinateacup]

I'm not am I?
I can't sleep and to rub it in he's next to me snoring the loudest smuggest snores anyone's every snored.

I'm going to have to kill him.

YANBU. My DH is a serious snorer, much worse when he's been drinking. He tried the nose strips, but they just opened his airways and made his snoring more athletic, increasing the volume. He stopped using them PDQ.

I find DH's snoring quite comforting

He's not properly snoring then, Emily.

I live with a snorer too. What I do is turn around then shove my arse out really hard so it jolts him and he almost falls out of bed. He shits himself and it stops.

Get up quietly. Put some vicks rub on a tissue. Place it on his pillow. Wait approximately 30 seconds for him to snort and snuffle in his sleep as the smell hits his nose. He will then turn over and stop snoring! Works most times in our house!

not the nicest wording OP to be honest

I live with one too. I downloaded a snore recording app onto my phone and left it on for a few nights. Didn't help with the snoring obviously but did make him realise how bad it was. Plus the DDs now play back his snores at random times (mainly in public) which feels like I've gained some revenge, if still not much sleep.

Mine snores like a bear...when I wake him up he denies he snores! Says I am waking him up to be mean! I love him...but I hate him a little bit...

When kicking him and rolling him over didn't do the trick we tried nose strips for him and ear plugs for me, but the only thing that's really worked is separate bedrooms with visiting rights

I swear it's saved my sanity & our marriage.

I had my own snorer thread a few weeks back. It's a fuckin nightmare isn't it and it leads to real resentment.

I hate it.

I tried ear plugs and hated the feel of them

read page one only, sorry, it's late (and DH is away...!) BUT he bought something like this on ebay.

Our marriage has been saved. He had to commit to it (as the snorer can't understand the issue...); sore tongue for a day or two (matches my sore ears and bad mood for more than a day or 2 wearing earplugs...)

Persuade and cajole; But do try! I genuinely can't believe how much better my nights are!

I heard a confession on the radio about a ladies dh had woken up confused at to why he had a very sore knee only to be later told by the doc it was dislocated. She had done it kicking him to stop snoring.

Get earplugs on Amazon
I know how irritating snoring is

We got one of these fitted to my ExH Snorguard ... it was the best $800 we'd ever spent - stopped the snoring completely. It was so good that when the dog munched it up we did the insurance claim and then purchased a new one, plus a spare for just in case!

He had minor sleep apnea and snored whether he was on back, front, side or whatever. It sounds similar to what the dentist fitted to someone upthread. MAGIC!

Resolved his incredibly shit memory, improved his mood (not enough as it turns out - but the rest was his personality) and improved my life out of sight.

If DH is willing then it could be a good thing (although I'm not sure what it would be called or where you would get one anywhere outside of NZ)

Meantime , for you...

Going back to the weight issue. The woman from the company who we got the cpap machine says that a lot of her clients are overweight, but not all. The one thing that most of them do have, is a thick neck.

And in the 3ish months that dh has been using his, he has lost about 5 kgs, without changing any eating or drinking habits.

I'm sure that being overweight is the cause in some instances, but not all, it is a vicious circle as the metabolism is messed up due to not sleeping, and this causes weight gain.

Oh and the funniest thing she did say (we have been going in monthly to download the information from the cpap machine so we can monitor it for first few months).. when dh walked in, she said "ooh murphys dh, you do look lovely and pink, this is a good sign

YABU for calling it murder. It's justifiable manslaughter.

That said, I'm about to move into a house that needs a new patio. >nods sagely & taps nose

not the nicest wording OP to be honest

Fromparis, you don't have a dh who snores, do you...

To those of you who got this investigated, do you know if there's a link between snoring and alcohol? DH snores like a pig - I spend much of the night getting him to turn over. But he also has a bottle of wine every night. Apart from other obvious problems with this - is snoring connected with it do you think?

I wouldn't even call it justifiable manslaughter.

The noise he makes some night..... mercy killing would be the phrase I'd use.

Dear god I nearly killed DH this morning; having spent most of last night being kept awake by his snoring when he dropped off on the sofa this morning (off work with manflu) I nearly killed him. Told him to go back to bed & when he said he'd rather nap on the sofa I told him to go or else!

My DP is a hideous snorer. We have been sleeping apart since DS was born (17 months) because I could handle the sleep deprivation from night time BFing but not the double attack of his ruddy snoring. He does believe he snores but has this funny thing where he will be snoring as far as I am concerned, so I nudge him or ask him to rollover, at which point he tells me is isn´t asleep and that is just the way he breathes and proceeds to get angry with me for inventing snoring stories!!! At the other end of the spectrum we have his sleep comas where he is dead to the world sounding like a pig giving birth. He is a bad sleeper so once he does finally reach that stage I don´t like to wake him up, again hence separate rooms. It isn´t very romantic...............

I could have written this word for word...

Debjud - yes there is a link. DH snoring was bad, but much much worse if he had been drinking.

Re alcohol as a factor, it may be in some cases, my DH doesn't drink at all but his snoring has to be heard to be believed.

His weight does fluctuate and it's certainly worse when he gains weight.

My husband snores and when he has a cold. OMG.

My two dogs snore. It's a completion. One dog even talks squeals and barks in his sleep.

The whole house vibrates and I just lie there sleepless. Moving isn't an option as it's just as loud in spare room.
