Please stop him snoring before I kill him....

[colditz]

dp is lying on the sofa next to the computer, snoring his effin head off.

It absolutly enrages me. he can't help it, I know he can't help it, but the sound bugs me like nothing on this planet.

I'll go to bed soon, and lie there for hours, listening to that horrible noise, feeling my whole body clench every time he breathes in.

I know nobody can do anything, btw, just needed to get that off my chest.

Don't talk to me about snoring.
It is the bain of my life, and the total downer on our relationship.
He knows why he snores (overweight, too much drink) but what rather just say 'I can't help it' ahhhhhhhhhhhhh you can
The loft(spare) room is frequently my sanctaury at stressful snore times.
But I agree - if I have particular bad PMT and he is snoring has their ever been a test case yet?

"late last night I slew my wife
And laid her on the parquet flooring
I was loth to take her life
But I had to stop her snoring"

Keep poking him till he changes to a position that is bearable (sp?) my dh was snoring this morning it was so f*ing loud I could have easily strangled him!! ( if he didn't have such a huge neck!!)

My dad has one of these. My mum says it's worth every single dollar - and my mum is dead tight and it was full price.

I utterly sympathise with the "hatred" thing.

In my case, DP not only snores - no matter what position he's in, he also grinds his teeth loudly (which also makes me feel sick) and sleep-talks, sometimes shouting out. As a result of all this, we hardly ever actually sleep together because I always have such a lousy night.

I know he can't help it too - but I also think "this has been going on for 5 years now, and you've yet to speak to GP about possible help" .... which he's been promising to do for years. I got him a similar looking silicone thing but apparently "it's uncomfortable" ... yet it's okay for me to try to wear uncomfortable earplugs, which I've tried getting used to (and can't) a damn sight more often than he's tried the silicone thing.

Will have to keep an eye out for the Bettaware catalogue ... usually I just leave it straight on the doorstep.

Think what gets me is the lack of sympathy, almost like it's my problem. But I have literally laid there in tears unable to get to sleep until 5am or even later while he falls asleep the minute his head touches the pillow. You can see why sleep deprivation is such an effective torture device.

Worst of all, when I've nudged him etc in the night to go to the spare room, he'll mutter okay, go straight back to sleep and then swears ferociously at me when I try again to shift him 10 mins later. To be totally fair, I think he is still half asleep ..... almost dream talking IYKWIM, as in the morning he says he doesn't remember (and I don't think he's acting). All the same, it's very upsetting in the middle of the night when you're already desperately tired.

Have also read - and pointed out enough articles to DP to see - that excess weight and smoking doesn't help. Yet has he done anything about that either ? .... has he heck. Snoring is such a joke to people who don't have to suffer it but when he's been making God knows how much noise for hours on end it's far from funny.

I recorded dh with my mobile phone the other night just to enlighten him!

Snoring sucks. Im a snorer. It cant be fixed without a hugely painful procedure.

If anyone is interested in the Betterware gadget thingy you can look at it \link{http://www.betterware.co.uk/searchlist.aspx?txt=snore+stop&language=en-GB\here}

Normal price £4.99, currently £2.99 but would need to add £3.95 postage unless you have a local rep.

I am willing to do them at cost + postage so would be £2.99 only.

Shout if anyone is interested.

Lol chipmonkey I've done that too!! and then the b*stard used it against me when I was pregnant!!

I used to snore (yes I have to admit it, curses!) I didn't believe him, but he had recorded proof! there was even commentary-oh the shame!!

My dh is currently lying on the lounge floor snoring his head off. He always snores but tonight it is worse as he has been drinking (its his birthday). I was trying to watch tv earlier with ds1 but had to give up as everytime I switched the volume up dh's snoring seemed to get louder and louder. Think i am going to leave him laying there when i go to bed, that way I may get some sleep myself.

Luckily he isnt as bad as my friend who woke his neighbours up the other night with his snoring and that was with the windows closed. He has finally had to admit he has a problem with snoring, he has always denied it before

I suppose in all fairness i should admit that i snore sometimes too but not very often and not that loudly either than god although saying that when i was on my honeymoon i 'apparantly' fell asleep on the plane with my mouth open and snoring so loudly the people 2 rows behind were laughing at me

In a happy fictional new life i will have a bedroom of my own and dh can snore as much as he likes. can't blame him as he is on 3 drugs all with a weight gain sideeffect. i lie awake planning how to rearrange the house to squeeze in a separate bedroom, some time when we have £90,000 to spare.

i know i snore too - so does ds...

sleep apnoea is really serious, good idea to get it checked, my dad has it, snored teribly for years till he was diagnosed.

Before DH and I got married he snored like a pig. It was so bad that he slept in the spare room and I wore ear plugs but I could still hear him. In the end he went to see his GP and he ended up having an operation that he said was REALLY PAINFULL (moaning bas*d) I can honestly say its helped... I dont wear the earplugs and we sleep in the same room now which probably has something to do with the fact that we now have 3 kids
Send him off to the Drs... best thing I ever did.

Sleep in another bed. Gave up with my dh years ago - sometimes we start the night off together and then I get up and go to a different bed. I know its not ideal but you don't have to sleep with your partner just because he's your partner. I feel different about dh in the morning knowing that I've not felt angry about him in the night.

I got to the point of wanting to kill dh over his snoring until I recorded his snoring and the fact that he stopped breathing! That shocked him into going to see the doctor - his father & mine have sleep apnoea. when he had a sleep study done on him he was actually awake more than he was asleep if he is bad it is worth getting it checked out - dh now sleeps with a CPAP machine although it can be a real turn off in the middle of the night IYKWIM!!

nearly as bad as snoring, as its during the night and in the early morning ... . My dp coughs and coughs and coughs. Every G.D> morning he wakes me up coughing . He is a smoker which i hate. It drives me mad. He will die from smoking if he doesnt stop.

A pillow over the face works!
