To want to smother DH in his sleep?

[blondebuddha]

I can't take the snoring anymore! I'm on the edge of a quarter life crisis because I'm sleeping next to what sounds like a professional Mongolian throat singer.

Doesnt matter what position he sleeps in, whether he's had a drink or not, whether I stuff my foot in his mouth

Joking aside, are there any snore remedies that actually work?! Apart from a mild case of death by raging hormonal missus, of course.

I'm currently looking at redecorating my spare room more to my tastes as it seems like it might end up being turned into my new boudoir.

Shall I just kill him and get it over with?

YANBU.

Up until recently me and DH slept in separate rooms for this reason for about 18 months.

We are now back in the same room and I HATE it - the noise is unbearable!!!

We've probably been back in the same room about a month and I reckon on 50% of those nights either he or I have ended up on the sofa because of his bloody snoring. I can't bear it - when he's at his worst I want to punch him!

Is he overweight? If so, perhaps shedding some might help.

Other than that, I don't know.

Send him to see the doctor, there are nasal strip things you can get or in some cases surgery is needed. Is he overweight? Lifestyle changes can help. Or kill him, probably quicker. 🙂

My OH bought a new nose contraption yest. It didn't work. Antihistamines usually help him as long as he hasn't had milk (which he did the night before ) or booze. Sadly I think hayfever is making it worse . I reccommended silicone earplugs ladies they are wonderful www.superdrug.com/Superdrug/Superdrug-Silicone-Earplugs/p/758963

Get one of these. I bought DH one and it really works. I know it sounds mad but it works on pressure points and really made a difference.

I haven't slept in the same room as Dh for years due to his snoring. Love him to bits but need my sleep.

A diagnosis of sleep apnoea has saved my health, my life and possibly my marriage. I was quite obese when I was diagnosed in 2013, now 3 1/2 stone lighter but still have a tendency towards snoring.

About 25% of people with SA aren't overweight. After DH saw the difference it made to me, he went to his GP and was diagnosed too. He has lost over 10 1/2 stone and still snores. Go to the doctor, say you need to get tested. Some hospitals will have stay a night, others will send you home with a computer to monitor your sleep.

I was waking due to stopping breathing 32 times a minute - that meant I was initially getting into a sleep phase but instantly relaxing my neck muscles so jerking awake, but maybe not enough for consciousness and then immediately falling back to sleep for approx 2 seconds. The specialist estimated this had been happening for between 10 and 15 years.

No wonder I fell asleep into my marking whilst still a teacher!!!

We decorated a beautiful nursery for our daughter, and my husband now sleeps there. Sometimes I shut his door, my door and put a fan on to drown out the noise.
I don't have any advice, because nothing has worked for us.
However if you do kill him, let us know how your defence goes so I can get an idea of what to expect when the babies are too grown up to share with me and I eventually smother DH with a pillow.

Saved our relationship, and possibly DP's life. The rage that persistent snoring can unleash in the sleepless partner is not to be underestimated.

Deep sympathy, OP.

In our house he has the spare room and I have some industrial strength ear plugs for when we go away. I fel your pain!

I ended two otherwise good relationships with partners because they snored, just can't handle it.

Get him to see a doctor. My DH is like yours and nothing really works but he won't see a doc about it!
I have some really comfy earphones and listen to music, whitenoise or an audio book. It drowns him out and I always fall asleep listening. I have a timer on the audio book app so it fades then stops after about 45 minutes and I am always asleep by then.
Silicon earplugs are also really good but my hair gettiing aught in them!

Combine snoring with bruxism and you'll know what hell looks like. I use ear plugs but some nights they are useless. Separate rooms is the answer.

I haven't slept in the same room as my husband for years, he snores and I fidget so between us neither gets any sleep. We're both very busy and he does shifts so getting a good nights sleep takes priority over a shared bed. We still love each other and are as close as ever, we're just not knackered all the time.

I really wish we had a spare room that I could decorate and turn into my own little retreat. I feel really guilty because when I'm away, DH says he doesn't sleep so well without me there - when he's away, I sleep blissfully and deeply. The other night (DS was away at camp), I got up at 2.30 and moved to DS's bed because I couldn't bear it any longer and slept so deeply and well.

It's awful, isn't it?

I too ended a relationship because exDP snored so badly. For 2 years he promised to go to the doc but didnt.
We slept in separate rooms but i could still hear him through the walls.
I couldn't cope with the sleep deprivation
He was not overweight btw

I second Meow. My snoring was awful, so I spoke to the GP and was referred to the sleep clinic. Diagnosed with severe sleep apnoea (incidentally a huge contributing factor in Carrie Fishers death). Now sleep with a CPAP machine. No more snoring, not more teeth grinding, no more reflux, no more feeling like shit, no more losing my temper. Cannot tell you the difference it has made to me. And my husband, who also looks better rested. Feel terrible that I didn't sort it out sooner.

Hi I use to be a Forever distributor years ago and a few people had said drinking the aloe had cured their partners snoring. It prevents the crap that clogs your throat and starts the noise or something. Luckily my DP doesnt snore but a few in the group swore it made a huge difference. Good luck you have my sympathy

I've just bought a little pack of 5 different contraptions (chin strap, nose clip, nose dilators etc). Hoping one of them works!

I already wear earplugs but even with them in sometimes his snoring is so loud I can't sleep. Getting fed up with sore ears when I've worn them for several nights in a row, so it's his turn to sort it out now.

I know he won't go to the docs but I'm sure he has SA as he audibly stops breathing sometimes and is also really tired in the day (naps whenever he's left alone on the sofa weekends and evenings). Makes me sad to think it could be so easy to sort out but he'd hate the idea of wearing a CPAP and would rather risk his health - and even his life.

I've enabled him for years by wearing ear plugs, but I'm worried that neither of us would wake in the event of a fire or break in, as he sleeps through any noise.

It's also a contributing factor in not living together - my nights without him are blissfully peaceful (although lacking in other areas )

Have him do a sleep study - sleep apnea is horrible and I didn't realize how bad my sleep was until my dh sorted his out with a CPAP machine. We both sleep so much better now!

Not RTFT because im outside on my phone and can barely see a thing
My dp has just bought one of those snore rings. It's supposed to work with your pressure points.
It was like a miracle for the 1st few weeks. Then it started to creep back in again.
It's nowhere near as bad as it was thought.
