Bloody bloody snoring again!!!

Here I am, away for the weekend to BIL's and on the sodding sofa. DH spread across the bed snoring his head off.
I knew it would end like this when the snuffling little snores started. The fear crept in; pounding heart, clenching stomach muscles, just feeling myself start to drift off then another snore.
Ffs. Only got about 3 hours sleep last night and now this once more. I'm never staying away with him again when there's no alternative bedroom to kick him in to.
Anyone else?? 😖 It's really starting to get to me now. 🙁

I know exactly what you mean. Mine is on the sofa but I can still hear him, he's like a bloody fog horn.
I won't stay anywhere with him because it's so embarrassing.
I get really angry and come so close to just wanting him to leave. Sleep deprived because of someone snoring is bloody hard.

Has he tried nasal dilators?

JoyceDivision · 27/01/2019 03:21

Ah I am on the sofa as DH had a bottle of wine, come to bed and rattling windows and reeeks of wine: woke him up to ask him to.go tosofa and he's said no, only been up 3 mins. He hasn't because I've been listening to him snore.

I'm.socross, fed up because I'm so tired all the time, I could cry.

@JoyceDivision join me with the crying... I cried with rage before retreating to the sofa.
Then you wake them up and ask them to turn on their side and they say 'why?' .. 'you're snoring again'... 'no I'm not.' Oh my goodness.

@Justagirlwholovesaboy he won't try things in his nose... says he wouldn't be able to sleep 😂😡

We have phases where it's ok but after Christmas and a bit of extra weight and then a few guns and wines this evening here's the result.

@Knittedfrog I know what you mean. We've only been married six months. I can't survive on 4-5 hours sleep a night 😑

I've just moved to the sofa. Solo with DC last night while he was on a stag do. Despite DC in bed from 4am actually slept better then Angry

JoyceDivision · 27/01/2019 03:33

Now amso.ad can't sleep. I as supposed to be cooking tomorrow as mum coming for tea. Am taking her and DC out and he can fuck.off.

Scandaloso · 27/01/2019 03:34

Argh, I know how this feels. It causes a rage so visceral that you start seriously weighing up the odds of whether you could get away with actual murder.

Sleeping with a snorer is pure torture.

  1. He needs to stop being such a selfish twat
  2. If he's overweight he need to go on a diet.
  3. Won't try nasal strips? Not fucking acceptable.
  4. Download an app that records his snoring. Shame the motherfucker into admitting he has a problem.
  5. Make him be the one to sleep on the sofa.

I have a DH who snores.

He bought me some Bose sleep pods. They are brilliant. They play a set range of noises - not your own music. So sounds like static, waves on a shore, wind etc - I use the tinkly tranquillity music. It's just enough to drown out the snores and I have been getting so much more sleep.

Chocolatecake12 · 27/01/2019 04:12

I’ve just made it to the sofa after listening to dp snoring for the last 2 hours! The cat seems happy I’m here!

Effy1990 · 27/01/2019 04:16

I'm 35 weeks pregnant with a snoring 'd'h, who also for some reason, the more pregnant I get and space I need takes more of the space up in the bed.

I've tried embarrassing him with the snoring, sent him to the doctors who told him to lose weight I don't know what to do. Being pregnant is also making me more intolerable to it though.

We don't have a spare bed and my sofa is covered in washing at the moment. I just want to cry!

Charlie97 · 27/01/2019 04:33

Sadly it's me that's snoring tonight Confused I've got a stinking cold, I ache all over, blocked and streaming nose and I've woken myself up snoring! I went to bed early and I think DH must've had wine because he's sleeping peacefully. In addition to that I'm also non stop coughing. I maybe should go down to the sofa but I ache so much I can't get comfy in bed let alone on the sofa. At least mine isn't a full time problem though.

DeadCertain · 27/01/2019 08:02

I've been sat downstairs since stupid o'clock because I could neither sleep in my own bed or either of the spare rooms because of the volume of the snoring. I have the TV on, yet the dominant sound above all else is still the snoring. There is nowhere in the house that you cannot hear it at considerable volume. To make it worse when I am tired I am so very much more sensitive to noise so it all becomes a rage - inducing issue!!!

OhDearBeer · 27/01/2019 08:06

I totally get you. It makes me murderous some nights. Dh expects sympathy for having been prodded by me to try to stop him.

jelliebelly · 27/01/2019 08:09

Get him to use nytol anti snoring spray - worked wonders for my dh. Also those nose strips like plasters (sorry can't think what they are called) work.

Dh used his Apple Watch sleep app to try and prove he didn't snore - it records your sleep patterns and actually records sounds - he was mortified!!!

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 27/01/2019 08:12

I do the classic rib jab,works like a charm.This accompanied by me hissing "your snoring,turn over!" Never fails as dh only snores on his back

Trippedupagain · 27/01/2019 08:12

I'm with you lot on all of this. Most annoying is when DH wakes up grumpy saying he's not had a good night's sleep at all! I know he has because he's been making a noise like a warthog all night. ALL night.

soberexpat · 27/01/2019 08:15

My DH is a terrible snorer, ear plugs are your friend. Without them I wouldn't get a wink of sleep. There's lots to try and once you get used to them, they are amazing. Life changing!

PastaCake · 27/01/2019 08:16

I don't understand why they insist they weren't snoring! I wake my oh up when it's so loud I can't sleep and like others have said, he just denies it and wonders why I've woken him up!

Pinkyponkcustard · 27/01/2019 08:18

Kick them!

Only losing weight helps in my experience I’m afraid.

TheWomanin12B · 27/01/2019 08:25

My husband is awful too, I can regularly hear him through the ceiling if I'm downstairs. It is making me absolutely miserable and has done for years. I would leave if I could. He won't do anything about it and it's really upsetting to think he doesn't care enough about me to go and see the doctor. I'm so resentful of him all the time especially as I think he has sleep Apnea too. It's definitely affecting our marriage and his health. Not to mention mine. AngrySad

Sexnotgender · 27/01/2019 08:29

I feel your pain, my ex husband was the same. It was the denying of it that gave me the absolute rage.

Luckily my current husband isn’t a snorer at all.

Lack of sleep is absolutely horrible. He needs to make an effort to resolve it.

Withington · 27/01/2019 08:33

Have you tried recording it and playing it back to him?

Dizzylin · 27/01/2019 08:39

My DH snores terribly, although he's quite happy to be kicked out of bed to sleep on the sofa.

We're going away in a few months to a Hotel and staying in a Pod, I'm already dreading the nights because I won't be able to escape the noise.

I'm going to order some specialised ear plugs to see if they help.
