Snoring DP

[LadyMuck111]

I'm laid here wide awake. DPs snoring is keeping me awake again. I seem to have developed some kind of insomnia and I just can't sleep. I'm exhausted and just want a good nights sleep that isn't on the sofa.

Has anyone else got this problem?

My DW snores, runs in her family. We have separate rooms, it sounds a passion killer but you can work round it. We get better sleep and our sex life is as good as ever.

Yep. DH is horrendous, and we've tried everything. I feel your pain!

White noise - either through headphones or a speaker. If you can get to sleep first, it will mask the sound.

Also, get him to get checked out when normality returns. There can be reasons. My ex snored awfully, and somehow through his nose. It was connected to acid reflux and disappeared when he took his medication.

The only effective solution is separate bedrooms. It's worked for us brilliantly and if anything is more romantic than sharing.

My DH snores too (so do I, according to him lol) so I'm in habit now of going to bed before him with aim to be asleep before he heads to bed. His snoring doesn't wake me, but it has stopped me from getting to sleep. Works 98% of the time

I've tried going to sleep before him but I think I'm that bloody paranoid his snoring is going to wake me up that I can't get to sleep before him. I really don't want to go down the separate rooms avenue but if I come downstairs to sleep I'm asleep in minutes, even though I can hear him down here too.

I'll suggest going to the docs to him to get checked though just incase there is something wrong that can be treated.

My DH lost 8 stone in weight and completely stopped snoring. This was 2 years ago and he never makes any sound when sleeping now.

Drastic solution, but my understanding is that snoring is much more prevalent in the over weight or obese. The doctors would probably first advice weight loss if he is BMI isn't 18.5-25

DP has already said he will try to lose some weight. He's not obese but he needs to lose some. It sounds to me like his nose is bunged up when he's sleeping. We need to do something though because it's affecting us.

I feel very sorry for the wife of the chap across the road from me. I've been up really early the last few mornings (3am ish) and been out the front having a coffee and fresh air break. They have a small window open and I can hear as easy as anything from my place. It's like a pneumatic drill!!

I know I snore when very tired and have been dug in the ribs a few times, but my god, I've never heard anything like him. Lovely family though

Why isn't he on the sofa?

Simple, separate bedrooms! If no spare room invest in a quality sofa bed.

Kill him it's the only solution

@Nyctophyllia I'm close to it

"I really don't want to go down the separate rooms avenue"

Why not? Is there a separate room you could set up a bed or at least a mattress in? (I don't think sleeping on the sofa will be good for your back long term)

Anyhow trying to fix his snoring through medical means will probably take months, if ever, so in the meantime you'll have to come up with some way on your own to deal with it. High quality earplugs, noise cancelling headphones, or sleeping in a separate room.

Separate rooms. I don't know why some people think sleeping in a different room is a death knell for a marriage.

When you're tired, you're irritable, resentful and annoyed.

You're basically torturing yourself for no good reason.

We have a bed to ourselves for most of our lives growing up, then once you're married you're expected to share a bed with a snoring farter for the rest of your married life. Why???

DH and I were at breaking point. Separate rooms. Plenty of sex still. Good night's sleep for both of us.

Simple really.

I can't stand snoring, always been a light sleeper - unless I've been drinking, in which case it's probably me snoring. Luckily, not had any BF's or DP's that have snored much. I'm not being helpful, but I remember how awful it was getting woken up by my DF's snoring growing up, how my DM can sleep through it I'll never know. I was in a different room obviously, but still too loud. Some people need a separate houses so others can sleep

This saved my marriage.

I can't understand why you don't want to go and sleep in another room ? Separate rooms here because I'm a light sleeper , no problems.
