Who should move re snoring (light hearted...sort of!)

Full disclosure, DH and I both snore. Main difference is that DH can fall asleep quickly and sleep though anything, I struggle.
DH fell asleep very quickly and has been snoring since. I have tried to get to sleep, but can't, due to said snoring. After being lulled into thinking he'd stopped, and then starting again just as I'm drifting off, I am now on the sofa with the dog climbing all over me.
In the future, should I just accept I should move, or should DH?

It seems sensible that the one who's awake should move?
If it's a longer term problem though you'll need to take turns or sort out another bedroom somehow.

Yeah, I wouldn't have (and haven't!) Woken DH up tonight, that would be mean. If it keeps happening though, he deserves a night on the sofa too 😁

Does it have to be the sofa? Was going to say can you make a nice alternative sleep space with big floomfy bedding etc that you’re happy going to when you need to … But sofa sleeping is never going to be good. You should probably both look into ways of reducing snoring. Not being able to sleep isn’t sustainable long term.

I like the idea of somewhere I can retreat too, could use it during the day too!

if either of you has back problems, the other person.

otherwise, take it in turns.

but really, just sort out a proper 2nd sleeping place if this is an ongoing issue.

Even with medical intervention, odds are that one or both of you is going to snore again in the future if you snore now. It’s not a personal failing, it’s just a fact. Take practical measures so you both get a good nights sleep

Easier solution....both of you go get sleep studies, wear CPAP, and sleep happily ever after, snore free together!

Currently going through this most nights and it's relentless. Awful when your the last one to fall asleep

My thought exactly. Instead of moving rooms, you should both be going to a sleep study clinic and getting treatment.

I snore and now sleep in one of my sons rooms ( one at uni and one in the forces). I’m about to redecorate and just have one of these rooms as my own. I actually like having my own space. I snore. DP farts and fidgets so it’s a win win
