To make my husband take sleeping pills

[Yankeesocks]

I'm the only one it's affecting, he sleeps soundfully every night whilst I am kept awake with his constant snoring!

Is it fair to drug him for my own convenience?!

Haven't asked the question but it's getting me down as I work 6-4 everyday and I am up so so early.

how would making him take sleeping pills stop him snoring?

Why dont you take them if you have trouble sleeping?

Mmmm how will they help?
They won’t help him, maybe you should take them!!

Sleeping pills womt stop him snoring.
Do you wear earplugs?

Give him caffeine instead.

Sleeping pills wont stop snoring.

Earplugs don't work for me either I can still hear him really loudly. The only thing that works for us is seperate bedrooms now

Why would sleeping pills help?

If his snoring is bad then get him to the doctors as he may have sleep apnea

You need them not him

Google says sleeping pills will make his snoring worse.

Ear plugs for you?

Sleeping pills are more likely to make it worse as he'll be in an even deeper sleep

Get him tested for sleep apnoea

I agree with everyone else. Sleeping pills won’t help. Separate bedrooms will.

Sleeping pills make you snore, I never normally snore but when I take them I sound like an engine. This is definitely not the solution to your problem

There are a lot of aids to help stop snoring - Sleeping pills aren't one of them! Have a look at the British snoring website as a first step. britishsnoring.co.uk/snoring/what_can_i_do_to_stop_snoring.php

I've tried many different nasal dilators (not for snoring, for breathing at night as my nostrils are twisted and narrow) and there are so many options to try. Apart from anything else, it should also improve his sleep quality too.

Sleeping under the influence of sleeping tablets or alcohol makes snoring worse I find.

It would be better off for you to take them!! I sleep with a combination of a fan on high and ear plug, and the occasional nytol for DHs snoring.

You're the one who can't sleep, take them yourself.

@WoollyFoolly
Did any of the dilators work for you? I also have small nostrils and I tend to sleep with my mouth wide open

Not the ones you insert but that's because my nostrils (and inside my nose) are so twisted it was quite uncomfortable. I use nasal strips now, they work really well. I used to sleep with my mouth open too and the nasal strips almost completely eliminate it.

Get some silicone squidgy ear plugs. They block out so much noise.

Ear plugs, white noise, separate rooms...

Much better options! He's more likely to snore on sleeping pills.

Does he drink?

I only snore when i drink, even a pint or two

@easyandy101 he snores worse when he has had some drink yes. Every night he is not a drinker no.

@Oysterbabe because I'm laid next to a husband snoring! I may have to

My hubby snores so we have to sleep in separate rooms and have done for over a decade. It took some getting used to but because we both get such good sleep we have a better relationship than ever. I have to use ear plugs and I keep a fan on high mode ever single night in order to get to sleep as the alternative I me lying awake fantasizing about smothering him

Separate rooms all the way OP if he refuses to do anything about it

I don't understand your thinking. How will it stop the snoring?
