Christmas on no sleep

[Mumoftwosweetboys]

Staying away this Christmas at a sibling's house. Have been here since 23rd. Both nights have barely slept at all due to husband's awful snoring. I'm absolutely fuming. I hate his snoring so much. At home I'd just go and sleep in living room on sofa but the house I'm staying at is full. Really pisses me off that he's had 2 great nights sleep and here I am still awake having had 2 hours of broken sleep all night. To make matters worse my 1 year old is in a cot in our room. He's slept fine but I'm very aware of him being here. Anyone else have a snoring partner who ruins their sleep?
Christmas is my fav day of the year and I'm fed up I won't get to enjoy it fully now because of the foghorn next to me. 😡

Yep agree with last post. Lose weight and snoring reduces.

Oh OP! One night without sleep is bad enough but two?! 😫 Try to have a good nap while the others are out. It should at least be quiet.

My XH used to snore so badly my pillow shook. Earplugs didn't help. Thank goodness those days are behind me!

He said he's been awake the last half hour and can see I've been on phone... apparently I am actively trying not to sleep to be vindictive so that I can complain about his snoring. WTAF. It's right that I'm not trying to sleep now as boys will be up any minute. But does he seriously think I've forced myself to stay up all night just so I can complain about his snoring. Selfish arse.

Mine has been in the spare room for a couple of years now. I was so fed up. Why should we not sleep because of their snoring. He thought I was being over dramatic and then he secretly recorded himself on his phone and realised how dreadful it is. Naturally hasn’t done anything about it and so that’s where he stays.

urghhh I feel your pain.

I would be tempted to sleep elsewhere tonight . Sofa/car?!

But try not to think about it today. Do the beach walk. You’ll feel better. Try and enjoy the day. See if you can get a nap later.

I get that crap too

Hey - just to say two things. Firstly I’m so sorry - I have been in your situation lots of times and the crushing disappointment of not feeling like you’re going to be able to enjoy the day with the kids because you’re like a zombie kind of overshadows everything. Coffee, loads of water, carb heavy foods and a nap later if you can.

secondly this sounds ridiculous but my husbands snoring nearly ruined our relationship; I literally hated him every morning and if we went anywhere - holiday / friends houses I dreaded it because I couldn’t sleep away from him. Well fast forward a year and he has a sleep apnea machine and honestly, life is transformed. He doesn’t snore AT ALL any more - I never worry about him keeping me up, we can go anywhere and we sleep in bed together every night. It’s really amazing what a difference it’s made to our lives.

Hope you have a good day and find good moments with the kiddies - and get a nap :) xx

I shake my husband awake every time he snores so he can reposition himself. Over my dead body would I lie and listen to him snore while I'm laying awake.

Yes and it got to the point where I said sort it or leave. I blame the sleep deprivation, so it's his own fault

He now uses a spray and mouth guard thing every night. It's SO much better although he still annoys me fidgeting some nights.

Sleep deprivation is the worst.

I’ve just had an other broken night due to DH’s snoring so you have my sympathy. I don’t sleep well anyway so to be woken when I’ve finally got back to sleep is very frustrating. I do shout at DH to move/switch positions but it just starts over again.

He did finally move to the sofa last night. It’s worse recently and he has been doing less exercise.

Earplugs don’t really help as the bed vibrates! Awful.

What’s the spray? Might send him to the docs to check for sleep apnea. He makes weird grunting noises too.
