2 bloody hours...

[Catspyjamazzzz]

Of listening to DH snoring whilst sleeping on the sofa, so loud I can’t hear the TV.
I’ve poked him and banged doors but it was ‘too early to go to bed’.

This is some ridiculous rule his parents had of never EVER going to bed early, they spent every evening sleeping on the sofa for hours. Then they would get up around midnight and piss about for an hour or two.

My MIL thought I was ‘abnormal’ for going to bed at a reasonable hour.
Now I can’t get DH to break this habit. He’s nearly 50 FFS.

Anyway now I can watch Scream 3 in peace! I can hear the screaming properly.

My parents too. They nap on and off in the day, then moan they can't sleep at night. They are both starting to stoop from sleeping in the chair. My dad is up at 4am reading Al Jazeera on his ipad downstairs in the freezing cold. Also if they are ill they don't stay in bed. They think that I am strange for only wanting to sleep horizontally.

Aw, I love DH’s snoring & snuffling.

I feel your pain. My DH does this all the time and gets really wiggy when I bring it up 😬 even when he sleeps on the sofa downstairs I can still hear him. It's the worst sound in the world!

Sweary, he can sleep where ever he wants in his own house but it's rude and unfair to be making so much noise the person your sharing a room with can't hear the tv.
If your going to make too much noise then go to a different room.
If I'm going to be noisy I wouldn't inflict it on the people I share a house with if they are busy watching tv

It would be like you watching something then your partner coming in playing the trumpet or something.

I get onto my dp all the time about this, once the kids are in bed he'll keep nodding off and wake himself by snoring. I tell him to go to bed to also be told its too early. If your falling asleep how is it to early for bed? 😡 If your tired go to bed and get some quality sleep that'll help rather than just snoozing on the sofa getting a bad neck

My dm goes to bed at 8 then claims she has insomnia because she wakes up at 3 and wanders the house like a fucking ghost. Whilst asleep, however, she snores like a goddamned bandsaw! Her bed is against the shared wall of my childhood bedroom, as is my bed, so whenever I stay, I lie listening to her and dad snoring like bears. There is nowhere else for the bed to go. Drives me nuts.

I can empathise OP. I couldn’t hear the Strictly results over DH’s bear-like snoring.

maelstrop your post made me cry, it was so unexpected. I do feel your pain. My Mum falls asleep, snoring loudly, in the chair claiming it’s too early to go bed and she has the TV on loud because her hearing is shot. So when I’m visiting (her new home) I’m deafend of an evening (and bored!!). But I’d trade anything I own to lay in bed in my childhood home listening to Mum & Dad snoring like Bears like they always did. It’s weird the things you miss when they’re gone 😢. Even knowing that, it’s still hard to stop it driving you mad when they’re still here.
