Snoring

It has been an issue for a long time for us. FH snores, I swear he's louder than a tractor! Since he has lost weight, its been better but he still does it. I go to bed earlier than he does with the hopes that I will get more sleep. I sleep with headphones in and listening to soft music to drown out his snores, but have back up earplugs JUST in case. I think during your time of stress, try to get sleep before him and then just move to another room, just for the sake of getting some sleep. It's rough, has he tried the breath-right nose strips? Those helped FH as well.

My fiance and our dog both snore.I started using foam ear plugs when I couldn't take it anymore. They don't completely drown out the sound ,but enough where I don't really hear his snoring.

My dad snores and my mom has to go to sleep before he does or she won't be able to fall asleep. It it gets really bad, she wakes him up so that she can get to sleep.

After 5 years I'd like to say yes ...

Mostly. There was a day in July I almost smothered him in his sleep. He knows he snores. He knows I'm a light sleeper. We have a loud fan that drowns him out and I love it. Some days we just know that it happens. I rub his arm if it's excessive and other days I just deal with it.

I type all of this while he's snoring and I'm still awake....

I love my fan.

We have two box fans going on in the room. It drowns a lot of noise. out. You could also try a white noise machine.

@ Kelly. That's a great idea. Need to prime now one today lol

My aunt and uncle have been married 25 years and it still keeps her awake if he falls asleep before her!

I'll move to the couch or sometimes kick my FH so he'll roll over!

It took me about a week of hearing him snore and breathing. He is a terrible mouth breather and completely unable to breathe through his nose while he sleeps so the snoring gets loud. I just nudge him a bit and fall back asleep if it gets to be to much!

Snoring is like nails on a chalkboard to me. It will wake me up even if I'm dead asleep. Luckily FH only snores if it's super stuffy and usually I can just kick him a few times and he'll roll over. I have had to move to the couch once or twice if he doesn't stop and I can't fall back asleep.

I'm so lucky FH doesn't snore. I can't do snoring! My parents both snore and I remember in middle school having to sleep with my tv on to drown them out from two rooms away!

My first husband snored and earplugs was enough to block him out. fh has the loudest snore in existence, so I wear headphones with ocean waves to drown him out. It mostly works. I bump him onto his side when he gets really loud.

We've been together 10 years and I am not "used " to it. I usually go to bed before him, and I sleep heavily so it doesn't usually wake me up. If I do wake up, it's hard for me to get back to sleep if he's snoring, and sometimes it is just so loud, I just move to the guest room. I swear, though as soon as I get out of the room, he stops. When he remembers, he uses breathe right strips. I have used white noise apps on my phone, which help, but FH has the gall to say that the noise keeps him awake, lol. Changing his sleeping position actually helps the most, if he stays that way until I fall back to sleep. I also apparently nudge (he says hit) him while I am sleeping, so on some level I still hear the snoring.

Ironically it didn't take long for me at all. FH's snoring actually helps put me to sleep! Also I think it helped that our dogs will snore occasionally and we always have a fan running as well

My FH snores sometimes. It used to be really bad but he got firmer pillows to hold his head up and that had been working but there are times he still snores really bad and it's something I will honestly never get used to so I nudge him and tell him to turn on his side! Lol but yes I know it sucks!

Earplugs. The swimmers kind. Highly recommend.

I am sorry to disagree with PP but snoring is a sign of abnormal sleep patterns and a cause for health concerns. My FI only snores if he is very drunk and he also claims I "purr" when I am enbriated. For it to be constant problem he needs to look into losing weight and/or getting a CPAP machine. Truly bad cases of snoring are signs of very serious health concerns. Make him go to a doctor for this.

^ snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea. Where a CPAP is needed to keep the user from cessation of breathing and snoring. (It did wonders for my mom when my dad got one)

He also could potentially have a deviated septum.

Or he is just a mouth breather and snoring is his norm.

Hope you get some rest soon!!

Yeah respiratory therapist here. So snoring can be an innocent issue. Sleep apnea is when the person stops breathing; hence the word apnea. A sleep study will show that. There are some mouth guards that can move the tongue causing the obstruction so maybe he can try that. There's a few options to try before a sleep study. But I will say that if he did qualify for a cpap; snoring will cease 100%. Not only will you love it but it will be beneficial to him too.

FH snores often, he's lost weight so it's better but it still happens most nights, thankfully I go to bed earlier then him but when he comes to bed I just put in ear plugs.
