Snoring husband... its baddddd?

I feel your husband needs to take a trip to your family Dr. to find the reason he's snoring so loudly. Oh how I know that feeling as I took must deal with it from time to time. I usually nudge him, he changes positions & at least stops for me to get to sleep. He did try those nose band aids, they did help. However, if your husband is that bad, I feel he needs a Dr's care to help relieve this so horrible sound. Definitely suggest that without a doubt...best to you, honey...:)

Yes, I understand.

My husband snores so loudly, that if he turns on his side to face me and I'm sleeping on my back, the vibration of his snores is actually acutely painful on my eardrum.

I don't sleep with him anymore (and by that, I mean sleep). One-third of all couples sleep apart due to snoring.

Oh my husband has sleep apnea too. Spooning with him, I can hear his breathing in and out, and then he STARTS to breath and I can feel his chest expanding, but there is no air moving. He's got sleep apnea, but he's too macho to sleep with a CPAP. Heck .. on weekends he naps TWICE during the day and everyone has to tiptoe around while he naps. We can't even enjoy our house during the day time.

Ah well ... you pick your battles, and I understand that even if he's a fool, I love him and he IS tired. So I protect his nap time.

But the price for not getting a CPAP is that he sleeps alone.

I work a 50-hour week, and have to have a sharp mind. I can't stay awake every night all night.

I know a couple where she goes to bed 3 hours before him so she can be sound asleep before he goes to bed.

I knows another couple where she sleeps in another bedroom, like I do.

You have the right to give your husband an ultimatum.

You have a right to get enough sleep, and to do so without ear infections.

It is the "job" of each partner in a marriage to look after each other's interests and needs. He is not looking after yours, if he expects you to function on inadequate sleep and/or with ear infections. There has to be some compromise here. If he wants you in his bed, he needs to use a CPAP.

I will say this .. I sure do miss sleeping with my husband. But I can't function without sleep, so that is the price that I must pay for his stubbornness.

I hear this quite often at our facility. Usually, I suggest that the spouse (either can have the apnea problem) 1. video tape or audio record the snoring, gasping, choking and apneas; 2. intervention of other family members, friends or collegues; 3. sleep in the other room (after the spouse goes to sleep) or 4. look at yourtube vids of ppl with sleep apnea.

I hope this helps for a plan.

If he does get a diagosis for OSA; join a support group. I use cpaptalk.com

Different rooms! I got this problem. I would be cranky the next morning/day for lack of sleep due to the loud snoring of my husband. It started with "trips" to the couch during night, till finally I said clearly I needed to sleep in a different room. You get used to it. He is never gonna stop, there is no cure...

Sleep apnea is potentially dangerous and damages the heart. He really needs to see a doctor. I don't know who told you that about earplugs but it just isn't true. If it was thousands of factory workers and musicians wouldn't be wearing them. It is either earplugs or separate bedrooms if you want a good nights sleep.
