Should you leave a person to snore?

[Aparecium]

If someone is snoring, should you nudge them or make them turn over? I'm not referring to a slight rumbling snore, but the eardrum-shattering or throaty gurgle sorts.

If he seems to be breathing consistently, despite the snoring, should I still disturb him for his own benefit? (This is quite apart from the murderous frustration if I am trying to sleep.)

I will always ‘encourage’ my DH to roll over when he’s snoring too much. It doesn’t happen very often though and it’s rare that it keeps me awake.

I tell mine to turn over , it stops him snoring and he doesn't even wake up .

Dp is a massive snorer. It keeps me awake for around 2 hours nightly sometimes more. It's very loud. He has some compromised airways from a stroke which has not helped.

Weirdly if I rub up his spine, he stops! But then instantly restarts.

I resorted to recording his snoring and replaying it into his ear. He'd wake up pretty sharpish asking 'WTF was that!'

Ultimately didn't stop the snoring but made me feel a hell of a lot better.
Now we sleep separately so problem solved!

I have split up with men due to their inconsiderate snoring. I'm a very light sleeper and having to listen to a warthog instead of sleeping killed any kind of romance/passion I had for them. Snoring is deeply unattractive!

I agree with you all, more or less.

But for dh's well-being, should I leave him to snore or should I stop him snoring?

Tell him to roll over on to his side. It's unlikely to wake him up.

I don't think snoring is good for someone's health, I'm sure I've read that it restricts breathing/affects oxygen so yes I'd say get him to turn over. He may well start again though.

For your well being, and thus his as being with a pissed off sleep deprived partner isn't healthy for anyone, you should nudge him on to his side.

Even he isn't spluttering, it's worth him being assessed to see if sleep clinic is worth it as he could still have sleep apnoea.

If I'm not trying to sleep I wonder whether it's fair on dh to keep disturbing him.

He can snore on his side!

If he's still snoring in his side then it's probably worth getting a sleep study. Snoring can be a sign of all sorts of health issues. (And it's horrible to have to share a bed with someone who snores)
