I'm in bed all snuggly waiting to drift off, but dh is now snoring!! Noo!

I've coughed, rolled over a few times, coughed again,
He is so tired I don't want to forcefully wake him but I can't stand it!! Ahh

Should I nudge him?

I would cheerfully smother dh when he snores. I regularly grab his nose to make him wake up

If I’m feeling kind, I can sometimes get my DP to stop snoring by moving his pillow so his head is at a different angle. Not always successful but it rarely wakes him up and is worth a go?

Won't be much use to right this minute, I appreciate, but I recently bought some "Hearos Xtreme Protection" ear plugs and they are really good. You have to get the box called 'original formula', apparently.

My DH snores horribly. I have, on occasion, had very vivid dreams that have woken me up where I imagine a 747 is about to land on our bed. The snoring was absolutely horrendous last month I was in tears of desperation on several occasions. I do nudge as well so YANBU to do that. I find it ironic that the snorers get annoyed about their sleep having been deserved - DH made this comment recently after the 5th consecutive night his snoring had woken me up just as I was dropping off (result: not able to get back to sleep for at least 2 hours due to either the sound of snoring or being preoccupied with whether or not it'll start up again before I drop off).

I sympathise...it is horrible. And I hate how it's sort of become my problem to fix...DH said he'd make an effort to stop surfing the internet on his phone immediately before bed in case that was somehow making the problem worse, and he did this for precisely one night before going back to his usual habits.

Anyway, I digress - the earplugs are not cheap... £36 for a box of 56. And they don't totally cut out the snoring. But they have, so far, made it almost tolerable. Which is really saying something. They make various kinds...the ones that are best are blue.

Sleep having been disturbed, not deserved. Bloody phone
