Dp’s snoring!!!!!

[Grumpyandtired91]

I’m know I’m not the only person to be irritated to death by the sound of someone snoring away in their lug hole whilst trying to get to sleep.

Has anyone ever had any success stories on combatting their partners snoring?

I’ve seen you can get a gum shield type of thing but I don’t want to suggest that as I wouldn’t be able to sleep with something in my mouth so don’t expect DP to. Any recommended sprays or anything else I could try? Or is a pillow to the face too extreme for solution?

Just tried to usually nudging, prodding , requesting to turn over but we are both wearing very thin and I’m sick of ending up in the spare room!

He says he can’t help it, but can he??😂😂

Please help a very tired grumpy preggo lady

TIA xx

I am currently listening to my DH snoring, despite wearing wax earplugs. However, they do muffle the sound quite considerably, so definitely worth having. No suggestions on how to stop the snoring, sorry!

Preggo here too!

My ex snored. He went to the GP who sent him to a clinic, a quick operation later (in and out in an afternoon) and he never snored again! Everything else is just gimmicks that don’t really work long term.

My DP uses something called snore strips, and they work quite well. The only problem is they give him a bit of a runny nose. But if it means a decent night's sleep he can deal

I am a snorer, sorry I know how annoying it is. It drives my DP mad.

Something we found has helped is if he goes to sleep before me, because often he’s in a deep sleep if I start snoring and it doesn’t wAke him up. But I know that isn’t feasible for everyone.

Another thing is my snoring improved after I lost weight and the puppy fat around my neck lessened.

Also finally the biggest reason I know is because I have sinus issues, they block easily. I have started doing sinus washes/cleaners which clears me out (sorry!) and this helps, so might be worth looking into if his is sinus related too.

Separate rooms.

We’ve only been married 3 years, with two kids under two. I don’t mind broken sleep because of the kids, but being woken by DH makes me incandescent with rage.

His snoring is totally avoidable (weight related), so to avoid divorce/murder, he moved into the spare room when I was pregnant.

He comes in at bedtime and we have a chat etc before he heads off to sleep in the other room, then comes in again in the morning.

It’s fabulous having the whole bed to myself to starfish in!

My DH snores terribly so I do nudge him A LOT. To the people suggesting separate rooms...I can still hear him in a different room but don't have the option to nudge him over onto his side. I think it's worse!

Wake him up every single time. Start with nudges and shhh. Proceed to harder nudges. Move to "shut up" said very loudly if needed. Every single time until he agrees to get proper help

Just recently had this issue! We have a 12 week old and I've been at the end of my rope.
We'd tried some stuff including nose strips for example but made the decision this week for DH to sleep in the spare room. I must admit that this week has been heavenly! He'll be back this weekend as MiL is staying and we need the bed so we have an anti-snore pillow to try.
It'll be worse once baby arrives and they're keeping you awake as well, don't try and power through like I did!

I bought some silicone tube type things from Amazon which helped lessen the snoring considerably, but I also found the best solution was separate rooms, he's on another floor in fact

Separate rooms for us! It’s a bit depressing, but not as depressing as the thought of having to listen to his snoring every night.
