I am so tired. My b/f snores really bad so I can't sleep at night. I sleep until noon or later during the day because of this. Any suggestions?

My boyfriend has severe sleep apnea and cannot get a c-pap machine until sometime this next month. He is also having gastric bypass surgery sometime this summer. He snores so bad that I cannot get to sleep at night. It is 2:30 AM now and I am still wide awake...HELP!!!

Your bf should look into getting a mouth-piece to help with that snoring! Best to attack the source of the problem, eh? That would be the obnoxious vibrations in your bf's throat!
Ear plugs usually work for me when trying to block out the train outside my window. They make pretty comfortable ones now that stay in all night.
If I were you, I would force myself to sleep by not sleeping in till noon, even if I didn't fall asleep that night. Force youself to get up at a normal time, say 8-ish. After a couple nights, you will be very tired and sleep despite Mr. Piggy's breathing troubles. You'll probably end up sleeping ok after a bit of training.
If that doesn't work, you could a) throw something at your bf to get him to shut up, b) sleep in separate rooms, c) give him a taste of his own medicine by out-snoring him! (Go girl!), and if all else fails, you could d) smother him with a pillow!
Best of luck!

Buy him some of those nose bands. The little plastic ones you place on the outside of the nose that open passages. They have some specifically for snoring. There's also an oral spray mist that assists in snore-stopping. People can be cured of snoring with a trip to the doctor many times.

I have this problem also, i stay up all night. Then the next day i don't go to sleep now matter what until 8:00 or so then ya snooze.also helps to go to sleep before the potential (snores) start. Try this to get get more zees. If this doesn,t work, try sleeping on the couch.

Try to get him to let you fall asleep first. But most ppl deny that they snore so I would suggest earplugs. I strongly suggest that you stay away from sleeping aides. If none of this helps, find a different bf or wait until marriage before sleeping with someone that could be a potential snorer.

if you drink some nyquil you will get sleepy, thats what i do , but i dont have sleep problems all the time just on rare ocassions. if you cant sleep everyday you may need to get sleeping pills. or have him buy that spray that you spray in your throat so you dont snore, there may also be other things he can do you should research on the internet

He might have sleep apnea. Get him to go see a doctor. Is he overweight?

Try taking a warm, relaxing bath accompanied by light music and candles. This works wonders for me.
