Ladies give me your tricks on stopping a snoring husband/Partner!

[thelook]

Any advice will be great, the only thing I have not tried is a baseball bat up side his head
So if you have another non violent way to stop the buzz saw that sleeps beside me EVERY night I am all ears!

 

[AngusATAT]

Could it be Sleep Apnea? If so, there are a few things he can do, like using a CPAP machine at night, or there is even surgery that can correct it.

I had the surgery, and it took care of the problem completely, and the wife is much happier (and better rested).

Eek... I need to look at where I am before I post. Sorry for barging in!

 

[thelook]

Are you sure it was not the tight pants that made you snore? lol

Nice to know that you found a cure for yours, I have asked him to go to the Dr. so many times about it.
He refuses, says he does not snore that bad, I beg to differ, he breathes/snores so hard my hair moves from across the king size bed!

 

[whiskey]

Has anyone pointed out the obvious yet?...Hardware store...Hammer....



Wait a minute....Angus what are you doing in here?...let me put away my hosery first

 

[Stephaniems]

Dunno what you can do I just kick mine and he turns over.


Also when mine says he can't possibly snore that loud, I remind him that love is what keep my pillow under my head and not over his.

 

[keyzygirl]

I just elbow him and yell,SHUT UP!!!!Only works for a few minutes.

 

[imawitch]

Give it up and sleep in your own Queen room.

Imagine having your own quiet space, decorated exactly the way you like it, a bed designed just for your regal body, perhaps your bed would be soft and fluffy with 900+ count Egyptian cotton sheets and amazing Queenly pillows.

This also creates an opportunity for an invitation to be extended for a fun night followed by a departing lover who sleeps uninterrupted in his own room while you slumber in complete peace and silence in yours.

It could be an amazing transformation for 2 people who are actually well-rested all the time.

Ditto to that SuZamme! After poking,proding and kicking for 26 years we've now decided to sleep in seperate rooms. We are both much more rested for the "fun" stuff He has a spiderman comforter and I have my down comforter he doesn't like..... It's a win win situation for us.

Perhaps this is why the divorce rate was so low when Ozzie and Harriet and those shows were on.. wasn't it that era that didn't share a bed? LoL or was that only for TV? I am a few generations too young

My husband has sleep apnea. My question is: Does your husband stop breathing?! That's when it turns from simple snoring to life and death! Seriously. I realize as he's lying there sawin' away you want to kill him but....That could be the thing that finally gets in to the Dr. That's what it took for mine, "I don't snore THAT bad", yeah yournot the one that's awake all night listening and poking you to BREATHE!

 

[thelook]

Lots of good advice, may even visit the hardware store today...lol
My Mom ended up moving into her own room when we kiddos flew the nest, now I know why!
He does not ever stop breathing, the few times he stops snoring his breathing is DEEP LONG blow your eyebrows off healthy breathing!

DH doesn't snore much, but I can dream can't I Oh to have a whole bed to myself.

My brother was at my parents house one day and we were all having dinner. He fell asleep at the table and I could tell he has sleep apnea really bad. You can here him stop breathing and then see his whole body shake as his body tries to figure out how to breath again. It's very scary, and I think you would know.

If that isn't it, then do what I do to my DH, keep poking or lightly kicking him every time he starts snoring until he rolls over. When we 1st got married we had an old fashioned water bed. That was nice because I could just make a wave in the bed to get him to stop snoring.

 

[classwife]

Wake up.....huh?.....Roll over, go back to sleep and shut up !!! 30 years of this. Solution ?....Yep, guest bedroom !!! I'm happy, he's happy, cats are happy. Bedroom hopping is fun !!!

I sleep on the couch. My husband not only snores and makes God-Awful noises, he never is still. He flails out his arms and legs, dumps me and the dog on the floor, and talks, sometimes LOUDLY, the whole bit. He also suffers with flatulence, although that he thinks is just amusing! It isn't, if you're in the line of fire. Or if the wind is blowing just right. In fact, it's darned offensive and insulting.
Once I've been awakened 3 or 4 times I can't go back to sleep. Sleep deprevation is awfully dangerous, if you know what I mean!
Also try to get him into a Sleep Program, he may need some professional advice. Life is too short. Good luck to you....but you need to have him get some help.

 

[BiancaMontgomery]

About 6 or 7 times a night I have to ask Beth to roll over. If she'd just stay on her left side, she wouldn't make a sound, but noooooo, she's got to get all comfortable and stuff!

 

[HzG8rGrl]

Mine better half has sleep apnea and snores like a freight train. I have to poke and tickle and nudge him most of the night.Poke-breathe, nudge- to stop the snoring for a couple seconds and tickle-breathe again, I think I just fall asleep out of pure exhaustion sometimes. After all these years I probably couldn't get ANY sleep if he weren't there buzz sawing away.

 

[HaploVoss]

Not a lady to help you here, but I am a husband who snored... my wife and I saw a commercial a long time ago for these little strip thingies that you stick to the bridge of your nose at night. I have been snore free since. I can't remember the name right now as I am on the road and don't have it in front of me. (Yeah yeah - typical male)

But basically, it is a sem-firm strip of plastic that when you stick it on, opens up your nose and forces you to breathe normally at night. Even helps my apnea.

Something to think about or try anyway. Hope it helps.

Take care,
- Hap
