CPW - When DH Snores

PandPMeant2B · January 2014

What do you do when DH's snoring keeps you up?

LooneyLife · January 2014

On the rare occasions that he's really loud, I usually toss very heavily which usually startles him enough to change positions and stop snoring long enough for me to fall asleep.

Mine snores like a friggin' diesel engine! It's especially loud and obnoxious when he's sick.

Thankfully, he pretty much always stays up much later than I do, so I'm sound asleep by the time he comes to bed, and I never hear him.

If for some reason I do wake up and he's snoring like crazy, I'll try shifting around a lot to get him to wake up enough to move or at least stop for a minute. Most of the time, that's not terribly successful (he goes out cold in less than a minute; I take a while to drift off), and I just end up listening to it and trying to relax enough to just fall back to sleep.

He only snores when he is in one specific position. I will just push him until he rolls onto his side and then I push my body up against him so he can't roll back over.

My DH is a major snorer. He generally goes to bed later than me, and I'm a heavy sleeper, so it's not a huge issue. I also wear earplugs when I sleep, so I rarely have trouble.

If he's had a couple drinks or has a cold and it's particularly bad, I will wake him up and ask him to face away from me.

He snores occasionally but it never wakes me up. The good news is that I can sleep through anything once I'm asleep. If he snores before I fall asleep, I usually just nudge him enough to where he stops. He's not a loud snorer though and doesn't do it often anyway.

DH has sleep apnea, if he's snoring he either doesn't have his CPAP on or it isn't on right. So I have no shame in waking him up and telling him to straighten that shit out. I am a light sleeper so if for some reason it is leaking air and I can't sleep I just move out to the couch and then he feels horrible in the morning.

I constantly nudge him. Usually if I nudge under his arm as if I'm trying to get him to roll over, he will roll over and the snoring quits long enough for me to fall asleep.

Lately, though, nothing has helped and I toss and turn and just get pissed.

I nudge and poke until he stops, but I try not to totally wake him up.

caseyandlizzie · January 2014

I toss and turn and if that doesn't work, I just start kicking him or elbowing him until he moves positions or moves to the couch. I fucking hate his snoring so much!

H has been bad lately because of a cold and allergies, so I've had to try several different things lately. It was so bad last week, I moved to the guest room and the next night he moved to the guest room. Usually, I can nudge him or ask him to sleep on his side since he doesn't snore unless he's on his back.

poppies717 · January 2014

I ignore it. He doesn't snore too loudly, but I ignore it because he wakes ME up all the damn time. I snore if I lay on my back, so he is always telling me to change positions. I tell him he snores and I ignore it, so he should do the same for me! I still insist I don't snore.

Xan921 · January 2014

My Dh snores horribly and I cannot handle it. If I fall asleep first it's usually ok but if not I nudge him two or three times and if that doesn't work I'll move to the couch. He works late and doesn't get home until around 12:30am so about half of the week he will end up just watching tv in the living room and falling asleep on the couch. I can still hear him snore but from afar it's comforting lol.

My DH isn't too bad, but sometimes he will be snoring right in my ear. I usually nudge him, push him a little. He stops most of the time without waking up. But dang, when I cant sleep and he's snoring away it drives me nuts. Sometimes I will wake him up though, when he wont stop... lol

H will snore occasionally, and I just toss and turn and he will slightly wake up and move. If it gets bad then he gets a nudge, and he'll roll over.

He used to have it really bad, but thankfully he realized how bad it was and tried losing weight. He only lost 25 pounds, but it made a huge difference and now it only happens occasionally. Or when he's been drinking.

cinderin · January 2014

Another vote for ignore it. It's what I would want him to do to me.

nightmare_of_beauty · January 2014

Since DH works nights, it's really only on the weekends we're in the bed at the same time and even then, I go to bed before he does.

Every once in a while it will wake me up and usually if I just kind of shake him a bit, he'll roll over in his sleep and that'll make it stop.

lfk2013 · January 2014

He's not a snorer, but when he's a little stopped up, it's annoying. I just toss and turn and "nudge" him until he changes positions.

mrsvedo · January 2014

He snores allll the time. It gets really bad if he's been drinking. I nudge, kick, and elbow and if everything is futile, I give up and go to the guest bedroom. He also feels horrible in the morning if he wakes up and sees I gave up and left.

rccola1981 · January 2014

I usually just have to lay a hand on his shoulder and he wakes up. If that doesn't work I toss and turn.

FutureMrsWright2012 · January 2014

Although I'm usually the one snoring and keeping him up!

sgautschi · January 2014

DH only snores every once in a while. I usually just nudge him until he changes positions. I have woken him a couple times if that didn't work though.

GoodWolf · January 2014

I wake him up, but he is such a hard sleeper he isn't really 'awake' and will just roll over and fall right back to sleep. He never even remembers me waking him up! I'm a really light sleeper, and wake up even if he's just breathing loud. I'm jealous of his ability to sleep through anything...

Aimothy · January 2014

All of the above?

It really depends on how loud and long the snoring has gone on. It usually starts with a subtle back rub. Then hellacious tossing and turning to get him to move positions. Then a swift kick to the shin to get his ass to stop snoring.

Since he's lost 40 lbs, there are very few nights he snores now. Usually when he's sick or been drinking.

islandmonkey8 · January 2014

I'm so surprised that only 7 of us have non-snorers!

simsk3887 · January 2014

H only snores when he's on his back which isn't very often. But when he is, he typically is literally laying on top of me and it takes everything in me to get him off and rolled back on "his side" of the bed (read his 75-80% of the bed).
