Snoring

[CrossUniStudent]

My dh snores. It makes me tired and grumpy and I can't function.

In the past it comes and goes so hasn't been a constant issue. I've asked him in the past to sort it, but then it disappears so it never happens. over lockdown he's put on weight and he now snores in every single fucking position he lies in. Over summer I've been able to lie in a bit to catch up on sleep after he gets up for work but our kids went back to school today.

Two weeks ago I asked him again to do something about it. I'm pretty sure he has sleep apnea too as he stops breathing and I often nudge him then he does a big loud snort, then carries on fucking snoring so I told him and said he should see the GP about that but that he also needs to lose weight/exercise as that's what the GP will also tell him (he's always been overweight, it doesn't bother me but I can't hack the snoring anymore, in the past exercise has reduced the snoring even if he hasn't lost weight doing it).

I had two hours unbroken sleep last night. I had plans to do lots of diy stuff around the house today but I'm so exhausted I want to cry.

Even if I dumped him on the sofa he probably still wouldn't fucking do anything about it. I don't even know why I'm posting. He never does anything about anything and this goes so much deeper than snoring.

Aibu to kick him out?

DP is a snorer. One night I happened to be awake when he stopped breathing. I couldn't believe how long he stopped for, it was genuinely frightening.

I told him and showed him evidence about how deadly sleep apnea can be and he agreed to see the Dr. He now has a CPAP. He was reluctant to use it at first but now uses it every night without my prompting because he can tell he feels so much better when he does. It's changed our lives.

What is the difference between being a snorer and sleep apnea?

Sleep apnoea is when you actually stop breathing

I wear ear plugs. I cant cope empath any noise or snoring when I'm sleeping.

I'm the snorer - worsened by lockdown weight gain and boozing - I've knocked drink on the head but still lardy.

My DH was constantly woken by me and he'd wake me tossing and turning as I'm actually a light sleeper.

He's spent many night on the sofa and we've bought a really nice mattress for him to retreat to - we're hoping to move house and a requirement for us is now a separate bedroom for him! It makes life so much better when we've both slept.

This morning he is almost triumphant that he recorded me snoring “like a hippo” last night and I stopped him sleeping. What am I supposed to do with that?

I had an ex that recorded me on the one night I snored. My response was to laugh and say very loudly... 'GOOD, I'M GLAD!!'
