Night after night. It's driving me mad. He's gone down on the sofa bed. We need a five bedroomed house as this is intolerable. Plus expecting our third child. Two extra rooms needed. Nobody sleeps well apart from DS who is a dream sleeper. DD wakes frequently and I can't get sleep thanks to puffing billy next to me so I wake him. No chance of putting a baby in with DD as a pin dropping sets her radar off. I don't want to risk DS being woken up with her nighttime sing songs and cot pogoing.

Who else suffers this.
What can I do?

Please tell me you ended up,with a snazzy bedroom for guests that really you sneak into every night and whisper "Thank Christ for you, guest bedroom"

I can't persuade him to try the "old fart strips" and he isn't overweight just very tired and a heavy sleeper.

I feel awful but am so sleep deprived I'm climbing the walls. I've tried going to bed before him but he comes in and wakes me up, prattling about with the sliding wardrobe or slamming windows closed as he lies to be hermetically sealed to sleep. Aaaaarrrgh the incompatibility of it all!

He's stormed out calling me a fucking bitch....oops

Send him to the GP, to get his nasal passages inspected. My DH had a head full of nasal polyps, once he had them removed surgically, my sleep improved exponentially!!

Oh you are my people. Men says it's congestion! Right all year. It's draining and irritating, I now go to bed really early as if I am not asleep by the time he gets in, it doesn't happen. However we have a fab guest room.....very appealing, separate rooms is even more appealing.

Not men, mine!

I split with an ex over this issue.

If your DH refuses to try any of the things that might help, it shows a huge lack of regard for your well being to be honest.

Lack of sleep is really debilitating and stressful.

For good earplugs try Quies. I think they're French. They are the best. I started using them when I was doing night shifts and they're now very effective against a husband who snores like a chainsaw, although I do retreat to the spare room.
