If your partner snored loudly would you want to sleep in separate rooms?

Question

I'm a light sleeper, plus ear plugs is not an option and the nasal strips don't work. What would you do?

Answer 1

I can deal sometimes but I smack my hubby and get him to roll over off his back.

Answer 2

If you have been together for 10 years and the snoring is a recent development then something has changed for him. Have him see a doctor as snoring is not normal, contrary to popular belief. He may need a sleep study done as he may have sleep apnea for which there are several forms of treatment. My snoring was so bad that my partner had to sleep in another room. I had a sleep study done and found out I have severe sleep apnea. I now sleep with a CPAP machine and don't snore anymore and sleep a lot better.

Answer 3

Yeah, if it's disturbing your sleep that much, separate rooms might be a good idea. Spouses used to commonly sleep in separate rooms, and, up until a few decades ago, separate beds were still common. Talk it over with your spouse and let them know that you love him/her, but you're running out of options and your sleep is suffering.

Also, there are sometimes medical treatments for loud snoring. You and your spouse might want to consult an ear/nose/throat specialist to see if there's anything that can be done.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Been married for over 30 years now and I snore, sometimes I've woke my-self up. My wife has gotten out of bed at times and slept in another room, but I have found using a body pillow and sleeping on my side keeps me from snoreing. Well really she observed when I slept on my side I didn't snore and got me the pellow. Good Luck

Answer 5

My grandparents had separate rooms their entire 53-year marriage for exactly this reason. I've found that lots of couples don't actually sleep together because they just can't get good sleep. It has to be a personal decision for you, though, because I know that I hate sleeping without my hub. Maybe a few nights together and a few nights apart? The trick is not to lose the emotional closeness if the physical distance between you increases. At the end of the day, though, you have to do what works for you. Good luck!

Answer 6

My partner does snore loudly. Though generally this is only right after he first falls asleep. I must have silence in order to fall asleep, so when he starts up with the snoring I roll him on his side to make him stop. If he won't stay in that position then I push myself up behind him and spoon him. Not only do we get to cuddle, but I get to keep him from rolling onto his back and snoring again.

Answer 7

If my partner snored THAT loud, i would encourage her to see a doctor about curing it. Obese people have a high likelihood of developing sleep apnea.

I would definitely be in the room if my partner STOPPED breathing!

Answer 8

if I really can't sleep, sometimes I go into the living room to sleep
otherwise I try to make him sleep in a different position
sometimes that works but sometimes no matter what position he's in, he still snores

Answer 9

I'd insist my partner get a sleep study done. Loud snoring is a cardinal sign of obstructive sleep apnea and should be treated. It can lead to heart disease and other systemic illnesses.

Answer 10

Try a feather pillow. Soffucation stops snoring 100% of the time, guarenteed.

Answer 11

My husband snores but I never want separate rooms. I just get him to turn facing away from me. He usually stops when he sleeps on his side..
