Snoring partner...post baby supersensitive hearing...

[OzJo]

Dear all, I used to be able to happily sleep through my partner snoring, but since giving birth I have the baby tuned ears that seem to wake me at the slightest murmur. Just wondering if anyone else has gone through this...did it ever pass? Dd is 16 months, and we take turns to get up with her in the night, when it's my night off I'll cope with ear plugs, and the sofa bed gets pretty regular visits when the snoring's bad. I hope I'll be able to return to snore proof hearing, but currently feel doomed that this'll be it for the rest of my life....Anyone experienced anything similar...is there hope ?

OzJo, I'm exactly the same ... before dd came along I could sleep through just about anything. She is now 3.5 and I'm afraid I still wake at the slightest sound ... as a result dh and I sleep in separate rooms because of his snoring .
Last night, for example, we had guests staying so had to sleep in the same bed - I lasted till 2am then I went downstairs to the sofa ...
Sorry I've got nothing encouraging to say ... hopefully somebody else has had a different experience.

Dear cookie monster,
thanks for the sympathy, not alot of response to this one, hopefully most people have snore free folk in their bed, love mine to pieces apart from at 0315 when the snoring/ spluttering gets too bad ( he also grinds his teeth when pissed ). A mate said the other day that she was glad they don't have a spare bed option at her place or her and her patner would never see each other. Personally, thank f**k for the sofa bed, not used every night, but essential on occasion. As long as we still have sex occationally I won't panic.

Well i guess i'd slepp through it before dd (now aged 3.5), but since having her and night feeds, back in the baby days we'd sleep in seperate rooms the odd night so he could get some sleep for work.
I'm afraid it's stuck and we very rarely sleep together but we are lucky that we have a spare room.
The odd time we do then i inevitably end up wanting to kill him!!!!

Sorry

Cookiemonster i know what you mean, we'll be haiving family to stay soon for a week and i anticipate not much sleep!!
