Ok guys this isn’t wedding related but you all give the best advice and I’m in such an upsetting and frustrating situation. I am SUCH a light sleeper, and my husband is so beyond restless. We already have two separate mattresses pushed together in the same bed frame (basically a DIY “split king” lol) which helps so that at least when he moves around, I don’t feel it. We also have a white noise machine, and I always sleep with earplugs. We sleep fine like this.
Now, here’s the issue. The earplugs are giving me serious problems. Every few months I end up with an ear infection because of them. I’m wearing them too deep? Probably. But if I don’t put them in deep enough, I can hear him moving around. I had such awful ear pain the entire day on Saturday and I just don’t want to wear them anymore. I was hoping the split mattresses and white noise machine would be good enough... it wasn’t.
Seriously I feel like death today. I could barely sleep all night. Every time I’d start to drift off to sleep, he’d flip around in bed. Since we do have separate mattresses (and separate blankets) I don’t actually feel him moving at all, but I HEAR the shuffling in his blankets. I know that sounds ridiculous. But that’s how light of a sleeper I am! Even the white noise machine didn’t come close to drowning it out for me.
Im truly at a loss for what to do and I’m so exhausted and so upset. It seems like my choices are: (1) continue to subject myself to ear infections (2) sleep horribly (3) separate bedrooms—which I REALLY don’t want! Any advice or suggestions would be super helpful y’all, I’m desperate! 😩
