Ladies, do your significant others snore?
Question by Leah’s Mommy: Ladies, do your significant others snore?
Mine does, and I can’t stand it! I spent most of my pregnancy sleeping on the couch since it’s more comfortable than my bed, during pregnancy anyway. The past few nights I’ve gone back to our bed and I’ve slept better and not stayed up as late, however I forgot how he snores and it irritates me so I nidge him then he gets mad, so it’s a vicious cycle. I’ve been putting a pillow over my head to drown out the noise but I don’t want to do that in case I don’t hear the baby. Any suggestions? How do you copem or better yet, how do you stop the snoring?

I make my husband sleep on his side, facing away from me. This doesn’t stop the snores, but it isn’t so loud in my ears.
If he does snore, I wake him up and tell him to roll on his side. Most of the time it works. If he gets mad then too bad haha.
Mine snores to, but i tap him on his yeast and say stop snoring. he is deep asleep and has no idea that i did that. but most of the time he stops. if not i take his head and move it till i find a spot where he does not snore. if nothing helps which is one every 2 weeks i just turn around and hope to fall asleep
Maybe put the pillow over his head? Just kidding!!!
My husband snores too, I have found it is worse when he is lying on his back and after he has been drinking lol
If he is lying on his back, perhaps nudge him and ask him to lie on his side, that is what I do. There are drops and sprays you can buy from the chemist that are suppose to help too but I am not sure if they work or not, you can only ask him to try.
Earplugs?
Also, it is better for you if you go to sleep first. I find it nearly impossible to go to sleep if hubby is asleep and snoring but if I go to sleep first then his snoring rarely wakes me up.
Good luck!
Oh my god, I know exactly how you feel!
If my husband sleeps on his back (or rolls onto his back in the night) then the snoring starts. I start off all sweet, “baby roll over” and he does, except he’ll roll back again not long after so he gets “babe! Roll over!”. Same will happen again, by which point I dig him in the ribs, he wakes up and protests that he wasn’t snoring!
Does he smoke or is he overweight? Both of these can cause or aggrevate snorning, as can drinking alcohol. I find my husband seems to snore worse if he’s very tired so he tries to make sure he keeps to a regular sleeping pattern.
You can get nasal strips and sprays from the chemist which supposedly work, although my husband tried them and they didn’t.
Failing everything else you could ask him to see his GP, sometimes there is a medical reason for snoring (particularly chronic snorning) which can be cured.
I swear my Husband is like a frieght train. I make him wear breath right strips or i make him spray his throat with snore awway. they work good. good luck and good night
My other half of 6 1/2 yrs has tried every over the counter solution for his snoring that drives me batty…The solution since he will not go have surgery, he is on the pull out bed in the sofa
My husband used to snore – like a chainsaw, it was impossible for me to sleep unless I was completely exhausted.
I recommend that you tell your husband to call his doctor, go in for a check up and discuss this with him. In my situation, my husband was diagnosed with sleep apnea. He now has a c-pap machine to make sure that he does not “forget” to breathe at night and he no longer snores. I actually like the machine because the steady hum is like a white noise machine.
Good luck and hope you get some sleep soon!
Yes, my husband snored like a bear! It was hard to get used to sleeping with him again. I slept on the couch for the last couple months of pregnancy. Then I get back in bed with him, and it was horrible! The snoring drove me nuts, so I took his pillow away. He went on the couch. We tried again the next night, he snored, and I took his pillow away again. He didn’t wake up, but he stopped snoring. So, now he sleeps without a pillow.
Yes, but then I do too! Honestly it doesn’t bother me- when you have a man, a baby, a dog and a cat snoring blissfully away in the same room it tends to harmonise so it isn’t anywhere near as annoying as just one person snoring in an otherwise silent room.
my husband, my 14mth old son and i all sleep in the same room, and all 3 of us snore. It’s a race to fall asleep first so you aren’t kept up by the others snoring!!
I find having him on his side facing away from me, and a pillow between his ribs and my face seem to help it from drumming into my ears. And if i still can’t sleep i put on some classical music and listen to that while drifting off. His snores are still there, but my mind is able to wander and i don’t lay there thinking purely of how annoying his snores are!
Either consult a doctor to see if they can recomend him any treatment for snoring or simply tell him to sleep elsewhere like another room or out in the living room. He should have the understanding that you need your sleep and so does you baby. My hubby’s been sleeping outside the living room for 3 months since he sleep talks and snores. He understands that I need my sleep since I dont get much because of looking after my girl as well as understanding that my girl needs sleep herself as well. Just talk to him and get him to understand
Yep my SO does snore. I just make sure he sleeps on his side, because it helps people who snore. You should Google it. http://helpguide.org/life/snoring.htm
I just tell my hubby to roll on to his side, and he sleeps much better. That’s all you can pretty much do unless you get him a device that helps with snoring.
Good luck.
My DH has snored for as long as I have known him. I had many sleepless nights and the lack of sleep was really getting to my emotional state. I finally decided to sleep on the couch about 8 months ago and we have not slept together since. Now he has been sleeping on the couch bed for the past month. There is no way I can sleep in the same room with him. He snores like a chain saw that is cutting down wood. Seriously he is that loud. I have tried turning him on his side which did not work for him. I used to wake him up several times a night and then neither of us got any sleep. I know some people would say that it is not healthy for a relationship for people to not sleep together, but for us it is better than the children having two sleep deprived parents who were both grouchy because they did not sleep, and DH and I getting on eachothers nerves all day long. Tell DH to sleep on the couch sometimes.
Mine does every once in awhile, but it’s so obnoxious when he does! LOL Very loud. And every time, I will nudge him and say, “Honey! You’re snoring!” and he always goes, “Who? Me?” And I’m like, “No, I woke you up to tell you that I’M snoring.” LOL Duh.
