Here I go again with another sleepless night. My husband snores louder then a freight train. He could actually wake the dead if we lived by a cemetary, and yes before any ask he has gone to the doctor and did the sleeping lab test and he is ok, there is no underline health issue he just has that extra piece of skin that at times lays over and flaps while he sleeps and that is why he snores so loud. I am thankful that he is healthy and all, but I swear sometimes I want to cut that piece of skin out myself. Once his new insurance kicks in he will have the surgery to remove it, but until then I will go without sleep. He does not snore like this every night just about 1-2 nights a week. Turning him over or waking him up does not work, because the skin stays flapped over and he never stays awake for more then 5 seconds to tell me he is sorry and will go get on the couch but I always so NO, becaus ehe works hard for this family and he deserves the bed. So I just get up, and once I am awaken I cannot go back to sleep that is my sleeping disorder....lol
Anyway how about you, do you or your love one snore and keep the other one awake?

Have you tried putting a golf ball in a pillow where your husband snores?

The golf ball if it is placed within the pillow, one's mouth is less likely to be open if there is something inside the pillow. From the golf ball the slight pain increases levels of consiousness.

I do snore too and my wife usually acuses me of snoring... However lately I have discovered that she snores too... Anyway I would suggest you to put a piece of cotton in your ears not to hear his snoring. it would avoid another sleepless night and thus you can be happy in your marriage.

Ugh, I am glad that something can be done to help you. Hope that the insurance kicks in soon. I have a snoring hubby too, I had to sleep on the couch many a night. Mostly when I was pregnant, I would just get up and sleep in the living room. I can run his butt and he will move around and stop; like it takes him out of this deep sleep where he snores the most. It really drives me nuts still and we have tried a lot of products. We will more than likely build a house in the future and may have separate rooms if it increases with his age. Good luck with getting some rest!

I snore and can't help it. I've snored so loud I've woken my honey bunches up in the middle of the night. I also do stuff in my sleep and don't realize it. You can ask me pretty much anything and I'll respond or I've been known to hit you, hog the bed, you name it I've probably done it. I don't know if it's just an unconscious thing or if I do it cuz I've had one of those days and that's my venting process. I don't snore every night and there's nothing wrong with me. I love to sleep but if I slept as much as I wanted no one would ever get any sleep.

There is nothing wrong with something snoring, I have a friend that gets sooo mad at her husband for snoring, but he cannot help it and she needs to realize this and find a compromise like my husband and I have. He would go sleep in the quest room but I love him so much that I do not want to be without him at night, I married him to share my life and bed with so I make the compromise to sleep the next day and lay awake at night when he snores watching TV and snuggle up to him or when nothing is on I get online. Thanks for sharing!!

OMG, I can only say 'amen my husband does not snore.'
I had an ex who snored so loudly, that members of his household could never sleep. The first time he invited me to spend the night etc, i had to go to another part of the house, and even then I still heard him.

that is why my hubby and i sleep apart! we have been married for 21 years and he snores and talks in his sleep (i snore too because i have nose issues - had a couple of operations but to no avail). i find we are both happier people this way.
(i am like you, i am a horrible sleeper and find it hard to get back to sleep too!)

hi dear, time never matters becasue we dont have time to sleep. we work in the nights also. we work from our house, we have office too but after having a baby, we hardly visit it. he sometimes go also but that too in the afternoon not before that, very rare. he snores quite loud sometimes our baby also wakes up and starts crying. she sleeps with us. it is so difficut athat time but he dont snore everyday. i donno, what happens that one day sudenly he starts snoring too loudly and others days they are not that loud and some day there are no snores.

My husband also snores loudly. I have to say that at the beginning when we got married, I didn't get used to it. I couldn't fall asleep because it was so loud. As time goes by, I am used to it and perhaps I hardly fall asleep without his snores:) It is an interesting change, isn't it?:)

Hello Ozarkgirl,
Both my husband and I don't snore while sleeping. Just a bit lucky maybe... But, one of my brothers in law really can snore very loud. Whenever we gather at my mother's house, we can hear him snores at night though he chooses to sleep in a room far from others. He can easily fall asleep and just in seconds, he will start to snore. I don't know how my sister copes with that...

I feel for ya girl. I used to have guy friends that were like that. Is it possible to have separate bedrooms? Or do you go sleep on the couch after he wakes you?
This one friend i had as long as i fell asleep first it was ok til i had to wake to go potty then i could not go back to sleep because of the snoring. When we spent the nite together i would be sleepy all the next day. I thought something was wrong with me till i realized it was because of his snoring. When we didnt spend the nite i would wake well rested.

Yeah that happened. You can't blame them for something they can't control, but having a lack of sleep does a number on you. Maybe have separate bedrooms until the insurance kicks in that or camp on the sofa so you get the needed rest.

My mom snores like a bear. Im glad that I dont sleep near her often!
My husband tells me that he used to snore a lot - before he had his tonsils taken out. I am glad I never had to do with that. I would go crazy! I hope your husband is able to get that surgery soon!
