There is nothing more irritating for a woman than to watch a man sleep lol. Sometimes you just wanna take a pillow and smush it over his face!

Poke him. It'll shift him and hopefully put him into a better position where he won't snore... Or at least stop him long enough so you can fall asleep quickly. Tylenol pm helps too. (although i'd recommend having separate rooms bexause the nightly irritation will sometimes leak into the waking world. There was an interesting article on the happiness of separate room spouses.)

Not that it helped, but I used to twirl toilet tissue into FDH's nostrils...

I live with the snoring too! Sometimes I think that it's going to drive me to the brink of insanity even more than SD & the BM because at least I can escape all that in my sleep. If it helps, here are some of my snoring coping mechanisms... 1. Ambien, Tylenol PM, etc (better living through chemistry), 2. Get a half hour head start to bed. My SO knows that his snoring makes me crazy, but will make the effort to stay up long enough to let me fall asleep first. 3. Guest room, couch, etc. Sometimes a good night's sleep is just more important than sleeping in the same bed. I hope this helps. Last week, I actually fantisized about cauterizing my SO's sinuses with a red hot hanger or something just to shut him up. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! Good luck!

Two things... A baby doesn't equal sleepless nights always. My son will be 2 next month and the night we got home from the hospital he slept 6 hours straight. By the time he was 2 months old he would sleep 10 hours a night and despite a random illness it has remained the same. So don't worry about that- it all is good. I can tell you why I think I had success when you need them- and prenatal care is part of it.

As for the snoring AMEN sister... I have not posted about my ss12 drama last week and after emergency surgery last Wednesday night we were taking turns for two nights changing his diaper ( he cant't walk) and checking his bladder that was operated on... When we finally got him on the mend and he went to his BM Friday and I wanted some damn sleep. I make my husband take benedryl every night and it is the only thing I can get to work for the snoring. Of course Saturday night my BS2 cut all 4 of his 2 year molars so Saturday and Sunday night I was up with him because DH caught a plane at 6am Monday. Last night it was just me and BS and I slept like a baby and thankfully so did he. Of course I had the local news on all night ( not allowed to do that when the hubby is home) and woke up when I heard the snow was starting at 4 am checked on schools to see if my stepsons would be coming back to me ( only can have nurses at our house - BM doesn't like them) when I realized school was on I slept until the baby got up at 9. Don't tell my boss- it was an office day anyway and I worked late last night. I love my husband and "our" kids with all of my heart- but the snoring and the sports need to go!

Try the benedryl for him and meletonin for you. And please don't worry about a baby keeping you up! And even if the child does the rewards are so worth it in the long run. Tomorrow will be 1 year since my baby boy took his 1st steps and everyday has been so wonderful. Even the sleepless night Sunday and I had to get him up take him to daycare and play single mom... He brings me so much joy!

OK, confession time. I am the snorer in our house. But it doesn't help that DH is the lightest sleeper on the planet!

So for now, separate rooms. And exercising my butt thru the year and hoping some serious weight loss solves the problems. But Benedryl? Really? How does this work? Seriously, I am interested even for the interim.

To the OP... his body hasn't caught up with his new sleep cycle and if he is snoring he is probably not getting enough air and the right kind of sleep. I would recommend a sleep study to see if he has sleep apnea. I know I don't because I am fine once awake and DH says I don't stop breathing during the night.

I hear ya sister! My SO is always falling asleep on the couch and also snores like a lumberjack and it makes my blood BOIL! On Valentines Day?? Oh no, he di'int!

I've started wearing earplugs which is a god send! I can still hear him but it's muffled enough that I can sleep. Without them? Forget it, we couldn't be together. I know he has sleep apnea, so I'm forcing him to go to the doc and get a sleep study. They'll make him get a CPAP machine and you literally cannot snore when wearing one of those. I CAN'T WAIT, LOL!

Now I'm thinking I need silicone ear plugs after reading the above post, I wonder if they're better than mine. My only worry is making sure I hear my alarm in the morning, but the less I hear, the better. Where do you get those rhyleighblue?

I put breath right strips on fdh's nose before bed. They work like a charm! If dh has oily skin have him wipe over his nose w/an alcohol pad then apply the strip, otherwise it'll peel off in the night.

Good Luck, hope this helps!

SO isn't allowed to sleep with me because of his snoring. It's so freegan loud I swear it vibrates the walls. I also deal with him falling asleep all the time. It drives me nuts.

GG sounds like a jackhammer. At least I know ONE of us is RESTED every night and it's not me!! Can't wait to visit Awesomeson in Lackland! Four whole nights of snoreless-sleeping!! I remember a clip from "All in the Family" where Edith's cousin Maude comes to help out b/c the whole family is sick. Maude says for Edith to sleep in the bed and Archie to sleep on the couch then quips: "It'll probably be the most sleep she's gotten in 25 years of marriage!" Then Edith comes downstairs all rested and relaxed in the morning saying it was the best sleep she's gotten in 25 years!! And they wonder why married MEN live longer than single men and married WOMEN live SHORTER lives than single women!!!

Ok, I'm the one that snores mostly in the house. BF snores too but not ever night and it isn't too crazy loud (though last night it was!)

I however can shake walls or so they tell me....so did my dad. I'm also hoping weight loss helps. BUT it was seriously interferring in our relationship, he wasn't spending the night w/me anymore, I missed him, he'd get angry, I felt bad. Bad cycle.

SO....I had tried strips before and they didn't work good. BUT they have a new breath rite strip that has two different 'points'...and I also bought some holistic pills right at the drug store but haven't tried yet.

Those strips work VERY good-dbf says they reduce by at least 70-80pct...that i snore a little bit in the am but mostly it's gone-he can sleep with me again YAY!!! Yes it's a little uncomfortable but you get used to it-they are clear also. AND I can feel like I"m breathing much easier/better. I feel more rested when I wake up, meaning I'm sleeping better myself.

Try them, BIG difference. You have to get pissy enough w/him for him to do something about it though sometimes lol-us snoring people get our feelings hurt on this because we know we are annoying you and it's not intentional. HOWEVER things CAN be done to help.
