Dp's snoring!!!

[Chickenfillets]

I'm 23 week pg so haven't really been having the best sleeps as it is. For the past 4 nights my dp has been snoring constantly all night so so loudly!! Last night I kept waking him up asking him to stop. He then got up, screamed and me and went and slept on the sofa. Now tonight he's doing the same!! I haven't slept for days now and I'm so drained. I really do feel like bursting into tears! Aibu to wake him up again and ask him to go on the sofa? I just feel so mean but I'm so so tired!

I have bought some Bose noise cancelling headphones - on the nights when we have to share I stick ear plugs in and the headphones over the top. Helps enormously.

My DH used to snore really loudly but all is peaceful and calm since he had his tonsils out last spring after suffering with them all his life and getting a particularly bad infection. Apparently they were so big, they blocked most of his throat.

My snoring has seemed to have got worse, before used to be just on back or after drinks, now even on side.

I am generally nasally, slight asthma anyway. and now sleeping in separate room, though miss snuggling etc.

Have tried sprays but not worked, might try the strips - how do you get to sleep clinic etc?

Chuck the knitting and baby things in a wardrobe. Seems crazy for one of you to sleep on the couch when there's a bed that could be used.

Send him to the other bed. He can clear the crap off it.. Job done.

Poor you, OP. I can sympathise - DP is a terrible snorer (and does it right in my face!) and then I have DS on the other side (in his cot) snoring his head off too. We don't have a spare room and the sofa isn't suitable so I've bought some earplugs from Boots. They have a wax like finish so can be moulded into your ear/shape (have to cut each one in half/small lugholes). They literally block out all sound other than my alarm! Dirt cheap - pick a box up when you get the nasal strips. Good luck. xxx

Spare room just needs the bed to be made up, without much/any stuff lying on it, and a clear(ish) path between door and bed... You don't need to do big tidy up.

The spare room and bed is literally full of stuff and got nowhere else in the house to put it just yet. I'm going to get some nasal strips see if they help

We survive with a combination of earplugs (me) and the sofa (him). I'm 39w pregnant though so not sleeping much anyway and there is no way I can do the sofa.

we spend maybe 1 in 3 nights in the same bed at the moment.

Snoring is horrific but until he goes to see the gp for a proper solution then he will have to do the couch. I guess a newborn isnt going to help with our sleep situation.

I use these wax earplugs from Boots. They are amazing and the only reason DH is still alive (joking... mostly)

They don't block out the noise completely, especially when he's really going for it but they reduce it to a level that I can ignore. They don't fall out, you can re-use them several times. I can still hear my alarm through them but even if I couldn't the alarm wakes DH so he would wake me.

I had an app on my phone that recorded DH at 100db one night. He can be so loud I can hear him through ear plugs in the spare room

We've run the gauntlet of Dr's and hospitals and sleep studies. The hospital confirmed what I knew to DH, he snores in 30 minute cycles. i.e he snores, I hit him, he stops. It then takes him about 25 minutes to settle off and then he starts again. It meant that both of us were pulled out of a deep sleep every half hour for most of the night. We were knackered. The spare room was the only option really.
