I can't fucking stand sleeping with my husband. SHUT THE FUCK UP!! Gahhh

[SHUTUPPLEASEEE]

I love him to pieces but oh my god I'm ready to smother him with a pillow.

It's not snoring necessarily but it's a loud clicking sound that he makes when he breathes at night because he has his mouth wide open and I can't FUCKING STAND IT ANYMORE.

I never wanted to be someone who slept separately from their partner but it really is making me so grumpy at night.

Once it starts I can't focus on anything else, he'll stop for maybe two minutes and then it starts up again. Nudging him only works for a few minutes then it's back. I could seriously cry, I'm spending another night on the sofa tonight.

I have ear plugs but tbh they are painful, I end up with sore ears and have to take them out. Does anyone have any recommendations for good ones?

My last nerve is slowly being shredded 😵

Do you sleep well with other noise? When my ExP used to do this I’d put on the Calm app and listen to a noise scape like a thunderstorm or a forest to cover the noise, give me something to focus on and go to sleep. It’s mind over matter if you move focus from their noise.

Sleep separately. My husband and I have for years. It's saved me from either going insane or killing him. And I have a whole bed all to myself.

Im sympathetic.
My husband has pnuemonia now secondary to pneumonia.
Im a nurse..
I dont want to clap.
I want some sleep!!
My recommendation is some plant placed oils xxx

The only thing that helps right now is if I race to fall asleep first. if he falls asleep first I've had it because once I hear it, it's all I can hear.

I have listened to white noise before and it's really helped but I struggle to have the earphones in my ears and sleep

Snore strips are fantastic?

Have you ever considered him trying mouth taping? It’s not like it sounds It’s to promote a deeper sleep by breathing only through the nose whilst sleeping. Might stop him making the clicking sound.
You can buy the mouth tapes from amazon.

Are you my SIL? My brother does that clicking thing. I never heard of it before with other men. I really couldn't put up with someone in my bed making that sound! If it's like teeth grinding, you can get a little plastic thingy that the dentist fits to stop that.

DH makes a sort of pfut pfut noise when he snores. He know that one day I may smother him. A swift thump to the kidneys sorts it short term.

Have you tried silicon ear plugs. I swear by them. Read the reviews on Amazon - i think they are called Max's silicone ear plugs. I'm a light sleeper and they block out everything.

He has a problem when he lies down where one of his nostrils is always blocked so as soon as he falls asleep he just breathes through his mouth automatically. It then starts with the god awful clicking sound I mentioned, it's like the back of his throat catching with every breath if that makes sense. Honestly I'm on the sofa now but it's giving me the rage just thinking about it 😅

I've just ordered some ear plugs that have really good reviews so 🤞

Not tried strips but wasn't sure if they'd work as it's not necessarily snoring. And I didn't know you could get mouth tape! I must admit I have tried to force his mouth closed whilst he's sleeping before now 😂😂

Haha I cite my DH’s snoring as why I work away a lot. I have to sleep on latex mattresses due to a spinal condition, and he finds it less comfortable than I do so it takes him longer to fall asleep. This way, I fall asleep quicker than he does. Is there something like that you could do to your husband? For example, a hotter bedroom (Yes, yes, I’m very cruel and mean) I’d just try and go to bed before he does otherwise, but nothing wrong with not sharing a bed for sleep.

The ears plugs that are silicon and made for swimmers are sanity saving, sleep bringing little buds of wonder! I’m a light sleeper, in that the slightest noise wakes me and I can’t drop off if unless there’s silence but these have done the trick. I think they’re called Bio ears? Made from silicon, not sponge (those hurt my ears too) so can be softened and moulded, my ear canal is small, so I’ve found that one plug split does both my ears, they’re available from Boots. Good luck

My dh snores but I don't hear a thing once my earplugs are in. Best invention ever!

I've ordered Happy Ears?? Not sure if anyone has used them but their reviews look good.

Yes the yellow and pink soft earplugs on amazon and a calm app .plus I take unplugged herbal tablets an hour before bed .

I might start taking something tablet wise just to knock myself out before the bloody bedroom orchestra starts.

Have you thought about getting a CPAP machine? The nose masks makes you keep your mouth closed and gently forces air through the nose. It’s stopped my snoring and I feel so much better as I also had sleep apnea so was getting less oxygen

I would second Mack's earplugs - the white silicone ones for swimmers, not the red ones. I've tried various brands and find these the best.

My dh has sleep apnoea and wears the cpap mask, but also has a strap that holds his mouth closed when he sleeps as otherwise he snores despite the machine!

It's a neoprene band with Velcro that he fastens round under his chip and over the top of his head.

I came on to say the ring the snorer wears, but if he has the nostril problem, it may not work.

There are teeth guards, a chin guard, things that go in the nostrils.
But because your husband actually has a problem, it maybe worth talking to a doctor.

I understand your anger though, my partners snore actually gives me real rage.
We sleep separately

Under his *chin

I've no idea where his chip is!

could he have a deviated septum (rampant condition in Hollywood apparently - most common excuse for nose job!!) but a normal condition that can cause one nostril to feel blocked all the time.

I saw an advert today for a headband that works like headphones - just a fabric thing, probably connects to your phone via bluetooth or such like. It was designed especially for snoozing/sleeping with your head on a pillow and looked very comfortable. Something like that might help.

I used to find placing the duvet over DH face woke him up sufficiently we now sleep separately!

I'm not sure about his nostril, he's always had it but trying to get him to the GP is....well you'd think he were being asked to scoop his eyes out with a rusty spoon, he hates it. I'll have to insist though I think.
