So sleep deprived, I feel ill.

[Whatsthatspookynoise]

My partner snores all night long and when I wake him up to change his sleeping position, it just starts again. I can't listen to sounds through my earphones as I have a 4 month old that I need to be able to hear, who also wakes up two or three times a night for feeding. Sometimes more.

I feel like I've gone beyond tired, to the point where I can't just shut my eyes and fall asleep anymore. Everytime the baby makes a noise I feel like I want to storm out of the room, which isn't normal. I hope it's the lack of sleep making me feel like that!

My partner will sometimes wake up early and take the baby or even take him while I nap, but it's not enough. I need to sleep at night.

I don't know what to do. He can't really go to the doctor during this pandemic, as they won't see anyone. Is snoring even treatable? I just need advice! 😔

Do you have a spare room your partner can sleep in? And you have the baby in With you. That's exactly what we did with both our DS, it worked well as I could sleep when the baby slept without the snoring disturbing me.

As a temporary measure, I suggest you google "over the counter snoring aids", and see if anything looks likely.

Oh my dh is like this and we don't have the added baby stress. I wake up tired, feeling sick and exhausted.

He snores, snorts, splutters, sighs etc and gets pissed off at being kicked to wake up and turn over.

No solution - I think snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnoea but I doubt anyone will be testing that anytime soon.

Mine is overweight which I don't think helps.

Solidarity, can't offer advice x

Wax earplugs. I don't sleep a wink without them due to dh snoring, sleep really well with them. And I wore them all through dc babydays, and always heard them crying.

You HAVE to sleep in a separate room with the baby. Yes all very well your husband wanting to sleep with you but you can still be intimate but sleep apart.
My mothers slept apart from my stepfather for 40 years because he sounds like a pneumatic drill and she's have killed him by now.
You need your sleep.
has he seen his GP and had sleep studies, he probably needs a CPAP machine as snoring like that can cause early heart problems/heart attacks.

You need to sleep separately. It's pretty common with a young baby. Pretty much all my friends have spent some time in separate rooms from their husbands when their babies were little.

I found I could still hear the baby through earplugs. Might be worth trying.

I feel your pain! My husband snores really bad. About 3 years ago we got a comfy yet compact single mattress that we can stash neatly behind the sofa. He pulls it out at night and sleeps in the living room

Finally I have my mental health back in a positive state. The lack of sleep before this contributed to a mental breakdown. I felt I'll every day.

Massive vote for sleep separately. Its saved our marriage and my sanity

My DH roars , not snores. It's absolutely ridiculous and so loud.

I can't cope with sleeping with him all night in the same bed so most nights he's in the other room.

Relationship is fine, sex life is fine and most of all I can sleep undisturbed.

Please do go and get in a different bed or ask him to.

You really need to sleep in a different room with the baby. If you don't have a spare bedroom then tell your dh to sleep on the sofa. The snoring is his problem and you need your rest. My dh snores and my it's horrendous, every night he wakes me up and I'm knackered with it. When it gets too much I send him on his marching orders downstairs with his pillow and blanket, we don't have a spare room and it's the only way I will sleep.

Myself and my DH slept apart for almost a year after our second was born. DS was such a terrible sleeper it seemed ridiculous for us both to be awake all night, especially when he had to get up and drive/go to work. I was incredibly sleep deprived but was breast feeding so did most of the night feeds. It was incredibly hard as I was awake all night and then had to look after a toddler as well the next day. That was the main reason I didn’t have any more children! Anyway, the point I’m trying to make is; if you can sleep apart - do. It will make a big difference. You can just do it until lockdown is over and he can get proper treatment for his snoring
