Hi everyone
I sleep at the speedway every night!! Or should I say, Im awake at the speedway every night! Its driving me nuts!! My husband snores like a racing car.
We've tried those acupressure snoring rings - it worked for 3 mths and no longer works, its like he became immune to it..
Anyone tried the snoring pillows or the herbal stuff from the health food shop or chemist that you put on your tongue?
Anything else that anyone knows of that has worked to help fix this problem?
Please dont suggest ear plugs as they do not block out the noise.. nor do headphones with music, the music just ends up keeping me awake. Ive even tried listening to cd's with just the sound of rain but the cords and headphones are irritating and uncomfortable to sleep with, even with a special soft one I bought thats like a head band.
I really dont want to sleep in separate rooms but its looking like we might have to.
I dont think its sleep apnoea as he doesn't ever stop breathing in the middle of the night.. so I dont think he needs to get checked by a doctor. I am sure its just snoring.. annoying!
I feel your pain.
I'm ok if I fall asleep first, but if I have to get up for the cubs it's all over, like last night. I got so fed up and just stared at him, fuming. Not sure how, but it woke him up and he asked what was wrong, and then stopped long enough for me to get to sleep again
I saw some sticky things at the chemist that might help? You stick them across the bridge of the nose.
Good luck, I know it can be awful, especially if you're a light sleeper
Even if it's not apnea there may be a medical reason?
I hear ya, sorry babe we've resorted to separate rooms. My DH has a CPAP mask that he can still snore through.
He still might have apnoea. You can't always hear the stopping breathing. Loud snoring is generally a good indicator. My DH has been monitored at stopping breathing 53 times an hour. I only ever noticed and kicked him if I noticed it was over the count of 10 when really at has always been much more.
I jab and kick.
And when DH gets sick of that he goes and sleeps somewhere else. He's been talking about getting a sleep assessment or something to check for apnoea but of course he hasn't gotten round to it yet...
im with marcellus, i jab and kick and poke DH, thankfully changing how he is laying is usally enough. But his dad is a chronic snorer and he went and had a sleep assessment and has apnoea, but im not sure what they are doing to help with it! and im not sure if you could notice when he was stopping breathing he's partner seemd surprised when the said it wa apnoea, so maybe a visit to the dr might help?
Hope you can get some good sleep soon xxxx
I now sleep on a fold out lounge every night and have done so for over a month now. I get so sick and tired of the noise and telling him to roll over etc. I miss sleeping with him but in my 'condition' lol I need to get whatever sleep is possy. If he has a day off the following day, he sleeps on the lounge and i get our gorgeous waterbed!
I've lived the last few years simply surviving on ear plugs. Yep, you heard me. I buy them by the carton, the little foam industrial ones, and I just hope to god DP hears the smoke alarm if it ever goes off.
I hate not being aware of my surroundings, but I can't do it any other way. I don't know what I will do when we have babies and I need to be alert during the night. I guess have no sleep! haha
See the thing is, DP is a different person when he is asleep. During his waking hours, he is kind caring etc etc, but when he is alseep, he flat out refuses to roll over.Tells me: No, you roll over! Quite funny really. It upsets him he is like that, because if he had the sense he does when he is awake, he would absolutely roll over if i asked him.
One memory he has of his childhood is how upset he was over his parents sleeping in separate beds (FIL is a snorer too) and it means a lot to him for us to share a bed. It's just painful when I don't sleep.
HELP! Snoring husband... any tips?
