I don't know how much more I can take!! *ranty rant*
I am a *super* light sleeper. I also have a hard time falling asleep at night, and I have to wake up at 5:15 most mornings to go to work. That being said, I value my sleep when I can get it.
DH snores when he sleeps on his back. It can range from heavy breathing type snore to a rattle-the-windows type snore. Either way it wakes me up every time. Usually I can wake him up enough to get him to roll over, that fixes that problem. Unfortunately, because he is a mouth-breather, even when he's lying on his side, he makes this oh so annoying clicking noise with every breath. (Pretty sure it's his epiglottis smacking back into place) And it really really makes me just want to kill him so I can get to sleep.
I've tried ear plugs, but the foamy ones don't really fit, and the wax ones fall out. I've slept a few nights in another room, but I still can't really sleep well because the dog misses me and paces the room all night. (I don't want him in the spare bedroom cause he sheds like crazy)
I don't know what to do, and it's making me tired all the time and cranky and a little homicidal.

Two of my exes and my brother all have sleep apnea, DH doesn't have that, or trust me, I'd be shipping him off for a sleep test ASAP. That whole not breathing thing is really freakin scary. One of my exes didn't even know he had it until I told him he stopped breathing in his sleep.
I'm going to get a new filter for our humidifier and see if running that helps any. Different websites suggested making him take a drink of water to stop the clicking, but he didn't do that last night, and I don't know if it would bother him to have me do that.
Only had to make him roll over once last night so I'm a little less crazed today.
Oh my, that does sound frustrating :-( I literally have no good advice, but I want to tell you I'm so sorry! I am a bear at first when I don't get good sleep (ahem...todaaaay) and I can't imagine this problem every night.
Also the not breathing thing is freaky too. That alone would keep me up, check to keep checking on DH like a crazy person.
Isn't there any good advice you can get from a doctor??
