THE SNORING
Honestly can't cope tonight. I'm shattered, almost time of the month and I've never been so irritated in my life.
I've woke him up about 6 times in the last hour to try and get him to stop but bloody hell he's almost lifting the roof with the racket!
Help 😖

Is he doing anything about it? Sounds like torture.

noteabagsleft · 12/01/2021 23:40

Well he's kinda mumbling, apologising then rolling over and starting again 😂
Don't think there is a more irritating noise when your trying to sleep than someone who snores at ten time the decibels of a blooming earthquake
Slight exaggeration maybe- but it's loud!!
Went down to make a cuppa and kitchen is 2 floors down and could still hear him

Is there a sofa / spare room / airbed one of you could move to for tonight?

Deal with it tomorrow but right now you both need sleep.

mymadpuppy · 12/01/2021 23:46

I sympathize. I'm lying here now wide awake. DH snoring so loud impossible to sleep.

noteabagsleft · 12/01/2021 23:47

Sofa, yes but didn't really fancy going down there as it's cold and he's up at 5am for work tomorrow so didn't want to kick him down there.
The thread is more lighthearted-just needed some company to to save me putting a pillow over his head 🙈

Stick a pillow under him so he sleeps on his side?

It's horrible when you need sleep and something is stopping you. 😔

After waking him up 6 times I'm surprised he hasn't thrown you out of bed

@mymadpuppy

Totally feel your pain! My DH doesn't really snore that often unless he's been drinking- which he hasn't tonight. So not sure what's going on with him

It sucks beyond belief. I'm next to DP now, snoring away. The earplugs take the edge off it....

noteabagsleft · 12/01/2021 23:49

@QuestionableMouse

He's already on his side, I moved him from his back to his side- still snoring

@OneFootintheRave

Earplugs! I need to get these. I've tried wrapping my duvet round my head but it's only making me too hot and not really drowning out his noise 😂

I've said this before on previous snoring posts; separate rooms saved our marriage. When we go away on holiday I get so anxious about sharing a room with him and not being able to sleep. I wear earplugs and have earphones over the top of the earplugs. He goes away golfing with a friend occasionally and they share a room to save costs. Neither of them get any sleep as they both snore for England.

MiddlesexGirl · 12/01/2021 23:53

I'd wrap myself in that duvet on the sofa, no matter how cold it is downstairs.

Minnie16889 · 12/01/2021 23:53

I get the little foam ear plugs off ebay for a few quid, normally i can sleep without hearing a thing but the last few days its been so loud i can still hear him.
Im trying not to resort to violence
You have my sympathise Flowers

noteabagsleft · 12/01/2021 23:54

@SuperHighway
I wish I had a spare room but the DC are taking up all the rooms sadly, should maybe make them bunk up together so I get my own room-that would be bliss!

OP posts:
noteabagsleft · 12/01/2021 23:55

I'm looking as we speak on Amazon for earplugs! Hoping this isn't going to start being an every night thing.

AmberItsACertainty · 12/01/2021 23:55

If you can hear him two floors down I think you need a separate house never mind a separate room. Get him to see GP about it.

QuestionableMouse · 12/01/2021 23:56

Ear plugs are a godsend then!

Dangermouse80 · 12/01/2021 23:56

Take turns on the couch. My other half had surgery for snoring but still no better. I'm now so used to seperate beds I'm not sure I could go back to sharing!

noteabagsleft · 12/01/2021 23:57

@AmberItsACertainty

Don't tempt me, I've considered it 😂

He doesn't usually snore like this so maybe he's just really tired, will see how it goes.

@Dangermouse80

I've heard a few people I know who has had surgery say that it didn't help

I've just kicked my husband out of our bed - he's in with our 5 year old! She doesn't wake up with his snoring and she has a double bed so he still gets a good night sleep. I have the 4 month old DD in a next to me crib so I can't really move to a different room - if I did I wouldn't sleep because I'd be worried about her, she tends to sleep through but I like to be close to her at the moment!

The other night I literally didn't get to sleep until 3.30am due to his snoring and DD woke for a bottle at 6.30am....I've told him to give me a couple of nights on my own to recover and then he can come back!

When DD 2 was first born he went in with our 5 year old as he had work and I was breast feeding....he never knew that after the first month she was only waking once a night (3.30am) and going straight back to sleep after a feed so I wasn't actually totally knackered! It wasn't until month 3 that he clicked and came back in to our room! Grin

Aquamarine1029 · 13/01/2021 00:09

Is he obese?

sadcatdiary · 13/01/2021 00:09

I am considering "installing a new patio", OP, for identical reasons. If you bring your own spade and "patio filling", we could join forces. Nobody will suspect a thing.

fibeee · 13/01/2021 00:11

Have you suggested that he sleep with more pillows under his head? I am the snorer in my relationship and this has helped apparently.
