my husband...?

Question

This has been going on for a while now and i just dont know what to do anymore. The problem is that my husband snores and he doesnt even realize it. How can this be? It has gotten so bad that I've actully had to go and sleep in another bedroom just to my rest. I am 8 months pregnant and im so disgusted and i just need some advice to what to do about his loud snoring. I went to sleep at about 12:30 mid and i was woke by his snoring at about 2:15am and ive been up ever since. I hate having to get out of bed and go into another room just to find a good nights sleep because i love my husband and it feels so lonely when ever i do this. I even wake him and tell him to stop but he will stop for like 5-10 minutes and then start right back up and even much louder. I wake up crying because Im so frustrated and tired and i need my rest, my husband is my joy but when he snores like this im very upset with him. What can i do? I no longer want to sleep by myself in another room and i shouldnt have 2

Answer 1

Talk to him about it. He needs to see a doctor.He could have sleep apnea, which is a medically treatable condition. It could also be a deviated septum -- my husband hasn't snored since he had surgery to fix his septum.

Also, have you tried sleeping with earplugs? I recommend the Hearos brand. Very soft and comforatble.

Answer 2

Your husband needs to see a sleep specialist/doctor ASAP. It sounds very much like he is suffering from sleep Apnea, a condition which can, in some cases, be fatal. It could be that all he needs is to be using a device known as a CPAP machine, (Continual Positive Air Pressure), This is a small and quiet little device hooked to a mask which forces a positive air pressure into the breathing passages.

I can say this, because I have this condition, and have used a CPAP for many years, (worn properly, one CANNOT snore because of reverse airflow. )

There is a good likely hood that he will feel better also because of a better nights sleep.

hi sweetheart ,this not youre or youre husbands fault but there is help out there ,does he have a drink at night before he goes to bed ,this could be the problem ,and i do not mean to sound rude here but is he heavier than he should be ? this will not help the problem ,look get him to go to the doctor or better still go to youre local chemist/pharmacy, and speak to the pharmist about something to stop /ease the snoring that youre going through ,there are lots of different things that can help with this snoring ,and tonight i hope you manage to get a good nights sleep ,ohif youre husband decideds not to use the stuff that youve got him ,tell him that he is sleeping in the spare room tonight as youve had enough of going through there at night ......this might make him realise that youre really tired of this and need a good nights sleep in youre own bed ....good luck and take care xx

From time to time, my husband will tell me that I snore too! And I do not know that I'm doing it. The snorer never knows it. In my husband's case, he snores too, so it's kind of funny!
My advice to you is to get some very good earplugs (ask a pharmacist to recomment a pair - they are sold in drugstores...). They can be very effective. Buy the best you can find. Wear them every night. The problem will not be fixed but you will be able to sleep, I promise!

Answer 5

Several possibilities.... some here have suggested sleep apnea, but you'd notice the quiet when he stops breathing. This is usually caused by being overweight. I know because I had it and was diagnosed with it. The CPAP machines were sheer torture for me. I lost 80 lbs and it went away. Another thing to try is the breathe right strips you put on his nose. Seeing the doctor is also good advice. Reasoning with him or asking him to stop is not an option, he can't control it. When he enters deep sleep, the tissue in his upper airway and tongue relaxes and he snores. Good luck to both of you.

Answer 6

Welcome to our club of the unsleepers caused by our snoring husbands. I haven't sleep in the same bed with my husband in about 3 months now. His snoring is so loud i can't even hear the TV, I can't turn it up because then it will wake him up and he tells me to turn it down,yea right the nerve of him. I have gotten him the spray the strip that goes across his nose but he won't try them so that's that. Get use to it because as he gets older his snoring will get louder sorry to say. When we first got married he did not snore but about 10 years into our marriage he started it wasn't enough to keep me awake. 28 years later here we are i hate not sleeping in bed with my husband but from the snoring and his bad breath that comes from the snoring the smell is so over bearing I have to hold my nose so as not to smell it. Needless to say that was the final straw i just couldn't take it anymore. I sure hope it works out better for you,maybe you can get your husband to wear the nose strip my husband said he won't wear anything across his nose it's to funny looking. Good Luck with your new baby and your husband.

Answer 7

most of men snore. i have been married twice, they both snore. and the second one is in perfect shape - he is not overweight or anything, and has no problems with health. so i have the samne exact problem as u do - very often if i am not very tired i wake up at night cos of his snoring. but i love him, he is the best man on this planet, he takes good care of me, so i can suffer this little bit of his snoring. think only hiw many men are battering their wives and their children and they still stay with them? so what if he is snoring? and pregnant women tend to wake up at night by themselves, especially at the end of pregnancy. soon when u have a baby u will not care less about him snoring - each second u will want to sleep, snoring or nor snoring. good luck with delivering.


ps.about some advicer telling u to go to doctor - that would be a useless waste of money, they can't fix snoring. my both men went to doctors. very uselessly wasted money

Answer 8

Would it be rude of me to text my husbands friend and ask him to remind my husband to test his bloodsugar?

Answer 9

I would wake his butt up from his snoring & tell him he can't sleep if you can't. LOL!!! No really I would go buy some ear plugs to see if that helps. I know there are some strips you can buy to put on his nose.Don't know if they work or not. My hubby snores I just elbow him in the ribs & he turns over.

Answer 10

snorings got to be better than farting, I'm sure theres something out there that can help that problem that u can buy over the counter, if not see a doctor. and for teenie that writes about her husbands snoring stinking? buy him a tooth brush.
