I recently got married and my husbands snoring is out of control!?

I have slept with him before and I don't remember it being a problem, but now, it's horrible. I have to ask him to let me go to sleep first! Sometimes during the night it wakes me up and he also farts in his sleep.Rolling him over doesn't seem to help at all! Any remedies for these annoying actions-divorce is not an option?!

    Time to have a sleep study done he could have more problems than you know like sleep apnea he doesn't have to be fat or out of shape to have it either, a person with sleep apnea stroke chances increase 65%.

    Does he stops breathing in his sleep? You can tell if he has sudden loud bursts of snoring. If this is the case he could have sleep apnea and should see a doctor soon.

    There is hope so don't be discouraged and if all else falls... sleeping in a different room from your spouse is very common. It will help both of you avoid the frustration, the anger and the sleepless nights.

    My wife and I have not slept in the same bed for years and we have a health relationship.

    As for the snoring medication drops and other aids they did not work for me. I have sleep apnea

    Yes the foam earplugs are great. They dont block out sound completly so you can still hear baby crying, alarm clock going off, but its amazing the great sleep you will get. Also try elbowing him in his side my husband is a awful snorer and that will work for a few min maybe long enough to get some sleep. Whats so bad now, is my kids sleep just like him. Last night I could hear one of them sounded like they were whistling. lol... God love em.

    Ugh, I know how you feel! Mine has been snoring like crazy lately... maybe it's changes in weather or something?

    For me, I just kick him under the sheets and he stops. Or I tell him to quit snoring and it works, even in his sleep. Though last night I told him to quit snoring and he told me he wasn't... then snored with the next breath again. Making him sleep on his side also works.

    my ex used to snore really bad and i literally cant sleep at all. ive used earlplugs, had him sleep after i go to sleep, wake him up so he would move and hopefully stop and hes not out of shape either but nothing helped. and i tell you, although my love for him didnt go away..it sure tested it BIG time. we resorted finally to having him sleep in a diff room or i would sleep in a diff room. it sucked coz we couldnt sleep together but i did what i had to do......

    were no longer together but i think the snoring only played a part in it.

    Weight loss can help if that is an issue. There are drops you can put in your mouth for your throat at night, and there are snore strips. I hate to suggest this but, if worse comes to worse you can sleep in another room if you have to.

    It is a tough thing to cure. Not sure there is one.

    I have the exact same problem. My solution was to use earplugs. I buy the soft foam ones. They are great. I put them on at night and I sleep very well. I can't hear him at all. I think I have gotten addicted to them. I have to use them where ever we go (vacations) and even if I'm sleeping alone, but they work wonders. Try them. At first they feel strange in your ears, but after s few days you won't want to sleep without them.

    hmmmm

    well my husband snores alot when he sleeps on his back. sometiems on his side... we got some of those memory foam pillows and them seem to help him out - you can also try those strips to go over the nose they helped me when i had a cold....

    other than that i dont know what to tell you - just think if he ever had to go away for 12 month to iraq you would miss it lol....

    There are products he can use to decrease his snoring. They advertise them all the time on TV and are availabel through drug stores and doctors. He may have a deviated septum problem. As far as the farting, he may have to change his diet, and if you're doing the cooking, you can see to that. Keep him away from eating gassy foods as much as possible.

    Sleep apnea, I know it well, welcome to the world of the sleep deprived. My husband went to one of those sleep labs and he ended up with a contraption that makes as much noise as he did snoring, he sleeps better, can't say the same for me though. Good luck.
