my DP snores when he lays on his stomach... i ALWAYS wake up (not in the best of moods) and tell him to roll over or he can go sleep outside!! lol have u tried the stop snoring things they have at the chemist??
I feel your pain! We have tried everything and my DP still snores!
I have also spent many nights on the lounge - I just can't seem to wake DP up enough for him to get his lazy a$$ out of bed and downstairs!! It's just easier for me to get up and go instead!
I'm sorry I can't offer you any suggestions, but I can sympathise with you!
Oh yeah, I can relate!! I start to feel really cranky if I can't get back to sleep in a reasonable time and start to simmer and boil about it. I sometimes end up in tears too cos all I want to do is get some sleep! I stress then and make it harder for myself. This morning...lol... I said... do you HAVE to keep me awake!??? lol... *ahem*. I am lucky though as DH always goes to the spare room. Lately it's almost a habit I think, he wakes around 3ish and goes downstairs ..lol. I don't really have any suggestions which haven't already been made. I think though that it's not a matter of being assertive, but maybe asking him if he'd mind getting up. When bubs is born, is bubs going to be sleeping in your room with you? If so, that's the perfect reason for you to stay and him to go All the best hun
I say if my DH is able to poke me the last few nights, as I have a cold, and tell me to roll over then you have all the more reason to do the same.
You need to build up a little courage and just say that the snoring is becoming too much and although you would much prefer the idea of having him sleeping next to you, you simply need some rest so would he mind sleeping on the lounge or in the spare room for a few nights to allow this to happen.
Probably a little late considering your induction tomorrow night but you really should say something at least for tonight so you are rested and ready for your big day tomorrow.
Take a deep breathe, go to your hubby and tell him what you are feeling.
Darl, you need to get him to agree to sleep on the couch BEFORE he goes to bed. No-one likes to get someone to shift in the middle of the night. But you really do need your sleep. You're not being selfish, just practical.
I slept on the couch for quite a few nights when I was pregnant because DP has a tendency to sleep diagonally in the bed (God save me) and I needed to lie straight because I had a dodgy back. So instead of having a row, I would just sleep on the couch. But the final straw was when he let me sleep on the couch and 'forgot' that he had the day off the next day!!!! I was ropable and would never EVER be that selfless again.
But you will be pleased to know that I think the snoring actually helps babies sleep better. DP often sleeps in the spare room because he's a shiftworker but DD always seems to sleep for longer if he's in the main room snoring his head off with us.
