What do you do if your partners snoring wakes you up?

Answer 1

Get some earplugs.

Answer 2

I agree with mlgable. Have your partner check with a sleep clinic where they can be tested for sleep apnea. I was the same way. I would even wake myself up by snoring so loudly and deep, My family said they could not even hear the television in the next room because of my condition. I went to a sleep clinic and was diagnosed with sleep apnea. People do not realize that you can die from this. When you are trying to sleeping, the snoring is interrupting your sleep and waking you numerous times an hour. Your body is telling you, "HEY! Wake up! No air down here!" and then your sleep is interrupted. I have have my cpap machine for almost 3 years and I sleep so much better! My husband is not constantly waken by the loud noise and I am not interrupted in my sleep. I usually wake up in the same position I laid down in at the beginning of the night. This is a medical problem, please get checked out!

Answer 3

Gosh, I wish I had £1 for every time this had happened with myself and my husband. Both my husband and myself snore, (I am asthmatic and he has sinus trouble) I often lie there wishing he would shut up and yet as with you, he always wakes me and tells me as though I could help it! I don't know why but he is always angry at me but I got my own back... In the end I made up the bed in the spare room and told him it was there, if I snore, it is up to him to move into the spare room for the night and if he snores, it is then up to me to shift. This worked well until recently, when I woke him on two consecutive nights when I decided to move out and STAYED out for a whole week. When he suggested for me to go back into our marital bed (if you get my drift) I declined and stayed for a few nights more! Neither of us has needed to leave our bed since! However, he has gently told me that I was snoring and I have responded by using another pillow.... I think the word is compromise! I have tried just about EVERY product on the market and have given up on them!

Answer 4

Put in ear plugs or sleep in separate bedrooms. It is possible that a medical condition is causing the snoring. If it is really bad your partner should see a doctor. Some snoring can be cured.

Answer 5

Have them see the doc to be sure there is no medical cause for the snoring. Once the doc has ruled out a physical cause for the snoring the doc can offer suggestions. Snoring can be a sign of a serious problem such as sleep apnea so be sure to get this checked out.

Answer 6

My husband quietly nudges me and asks me to face the other way. Also he wears head phones to sleep by. When he snores or watches TV late I use ear plugs. This has helped for many, many years.

Answer 7

It depends on the situation. If he's really drunk, I'll kick him a few times just for the pleasure of it, then I'll go sleep on the couch. If he's sober, I'll try to roll him onto his side, 'cause he normally only snores on his back. If this fails, I'll still end up on the couch!

Answer 8

Hurry and toss a heavy pillow over their face and
pretend you are still sleeping but try not to snort while
trying to stiffle a laugh (like I do). Anyway, it causes a
slight disruption in their sleep, maybe long enough for
them to change their position and hopefully will give you
enough time to fall back to sleep. It's only a temporary
solution but it's funny.

Answer 9

Try to get them to sleep in a different position. If it is very bad and there are bouts with no breathing-get checked for sleep apnea. It's very dangerous!

Answer 10

I wake her up tactfully and tell her. Or sometime I position her head upon her pillow so it stops.

Answer 11

tell ur partner to go get their nose fixed so they stop snoring
