I used to do it all the time until I got ear plugs. The 3 minute peace was bliss

CookieLady · 01/02/2015 00:29

I'm ashamed to say I do kick him sometimes if he's snoring very loudly.

BigRedBall · 01/02/2015 00:30

Ah I used to do this until he was banished into the spare room. He's been sleeping there for about 2 months now. Absolute bliss. I can can vaguely hear him snoring now....

BigRedBall · 01/02/2015 00:32

Kicking doesn't help btw. Neither does sighing loudly, caressing their cheeks (facial), holding their noses, pushing their noses upwards, grabbing their balls....honestly I tried everything. I'm never sleeping in the same room as him again.

I can sometimes hear the neighbour too!
He's a tad quieter now but it's still constant.

Poking or moving in some way does seem to help.

I hate the feeling of ear plugs :(

I frequently kick DH. This evening he's outdone himself: not only did he try it on when I was fully asleep (I think he wasn't really awake), when I shrugged him off he made such a noise turning over he woke dd(5 months) up. Now I'm sat feeding her and he's snoring. Ffs.

BigRedBall · 01/02/2015 00:45

Poking them only helps for a few minutes. Then it slowly starts up again.

Someone needs to invent a soundproof sphere or something that snorers can wear to bed.

As long as you don't mind when he kicks you if you snore.

YANBU. More times than not I'M the one banished to the guest room. I hate it, but I'd feel awful waking Dh up every night and making him go in there because he snores.

However it rankles when I'm extremely tired, Know he's going to snore and just go there first off, and have him say dejectedly, "Huh...OK". Like that I enjoy having to sleep separately most of the time. Believe me, I don't! But really what do you want me to do? Wake up every 2 minutes if I even get to sleep at all?!

madmother1 · 01/02/2015 00:57

OMG ! This reminds me of when I recently went away with a friend for 3 nights. She snored like a trooper - she was mortified. I feel your pain :-). I must get to bed now!

Nothavingfunrightnow · 01/02/2015 00:59

Another one here with a DH in separate room! I wear ear plugs and have the door closed and I can still fucking hear him.

Alisvolatpropiis · 01/02/2015 01:09

I don't kick my dh though it is tempting to fucking smother him I make him turn on to his left side. I read somewhere that this can help and it will usually give me enough respite to fall asleep in.

AlleyCat11 · 01/02/2015 01:18

I slept on the sofa last night to get away from him. Had a headache, so less snoring tolerance than usual. If he rolls onto his back (worst position) I give him a good shove & shout "shut up!"

Titsalinabumsquash · 01/02/2015 01:21

My DP has gone into bed tonight with a rather sad sigh that I'll be staying down on the sofa again tonight.
He snores, if I'm not asleep before him I don't get to sleep unless I'm in a different room. I suffer from a sever case of misophonia and someone snoring rhythmically next to me drives me to tears, it's right up there with teeth grinding and constant throat clearing.

GrinYou're all funny. Have made me laugh. Got some sleep but now laying in bed with a coffee he's made meWink

See don't get sucked in by all that coffee making kindness! It's all part of a very elaborate plan to make you forgive and forget and then he can carry on his snoring! Snorers are very sly creatures! Wink

There's nothing worse

Dowser · 01/02/2015 10:46

Had a terrible life with my snoring ex. Grandson just told me a funny story. He had to sleep in their room once and got four hours sleep because of all the snoring.

Apparently the OW was worse than his grandad and grandad ( my ex) was often kept awake by her.

Anyone smelling the smell of karma here. Lol
