How do people cope with their partners snoring? Like genuinely how do you deal with it as it's driving me mad!! I normally fall asleep first which is fine, but I often wake up during the night most nights and then can't get back to sleep as DP is doing impressions of some kind of demented walrus

Even the neighbours have commented that they've heard it!

We've tried me wearing earplugs but I can still hear it slightly through that which is enough to keep me awake. Tried sleeping in the spare bedroom but I can still hear him and also when I'm downstairs on the sofa. Nose strips and nose spray helped a bit but not completely. He is slightly overweight which is what I think probably causes it but he's quite sensitive bout that so can't really push that he needs to lose weight

At the moment I've been going with the method of waking him up every time he's snoring (around 48000 times per night) and hoping that will annoy him enough that he will stay awake long enough for me to go to sleep but that never happens and I end up lying there fantasising about hitting him with the bedside light or something similar

Please tell me there's something that will help or is my only option to cave his head in? Grin

Sorry to resurrect my own zombie thread but thought it made more sense than starting a new one!

DP has been to the drs and had tests done, sleep apnoea has been ruled out. He has lost nearly 2 stone so is now well within the healthy weight range but he’s STILL snoring! Angry

Nose strips and spray seem to work for around an hour but stop after that. Have recently bought an anti snoring mouth guard but no luck. We’ve moved house so the spare room is now even closer and I can hear him when I sleep in there, plus that’s only a sofa bed so not great in the long term

Please tell me it will get better!? I don’t know what else to try anymore. Anyone got any miracle tips before I have to resort to LTB?

Just wanted to see the solution. As I have a snorer also.......

DH is underweight (recently diagnosed with a slow-growing cancer) but has never been heavy. However, he snores for the Queen.

A combination of daily antihistamine and a nasal spray has helped.

However, I now sleep with earplugs. That helps so much more.
