Ok You tell me what you think;My husband wakes me 8 x last night reason being he said that I was snoring. Ok...How loud was I, I asked the 3 rd time, he says well you realy are not snoring loudly, it's more like breating loudly. I just threw the pillow at him for even complaining in the firt place; his snoring is realy and could raise the dead, but I Don't wake hime up. He says it should not matter that I woke up, I don't sleep well any way and I am A Stay at home mom?

First of all stay at home moms need sleep too! We have one of the toughest jobs in the world. Secondly, have you ever tried those breathe rite nose strips? They seem like a flimsy piece of plastic and you will feel silly wearing it but they really do help! It is worth a try if you get a great night of sleep and your hubby is happier too. By the way, I would have given him a map that showed the way to the couch. lol

This is a difficult one. My husband used to snore so loud it drove me crazy to the point of I was sleeping on the couch. Finally I would wake him up ever time and that drove him crazy. Well I don't know how (or maybe it was all the kicks he got) he usually doesn't snore much, only if he has been drinking. But anyway I am a light sleeper. So I hear everything. Maybe he is a light sleeper. What we did was got a fan and turned it on low. Now in the summer we run the airconditioner fan every night, and in the winter I run my humidifier. That way we don't hear anything. Give it a shot.

Thats the problem; he has to have complete silence. He and his family tried to do that to my son, get him used to silece only, and I sd uh uh, he will sleep with the tv on, vacume running any thing and every thing. His mom sd that she was always tiptoeing around her kids so that they would sleep. I think she just aided in a bad habit.

Lol... he's getting you at it, CatEyes! Next time he starts snoring, edge your way across the bed, until he has nothing beneath him but the floor! Don't wake him first! ha ha ha. You can then tell him that he vibration of his snoring made you do it! lol

Think I will tonight. He did it again last night saying I was breathing hard. He even demstrated and I can not see how it would wake him up. You know what I think? I think his snoring wakes him up and he thinks its me.

Is it my fault if I snore??? My husband also tells me that i snore loudly. That he wakes up on the sound of my snore. I can't help it, it's not within my control, I already tried sleeping on side, but I don't know if it's effective. I tried losing weight, coz i read in an article that people snore due to obesity/overweight. I don't know..I can only say sorry to him...it's not my fault & it's not my intention to snoree loudly so everyone will wake up...I know it's really embarassing... but what can i do?

Have you tried propping yourself up with some pillows? This is what my grandma did she said it helped her to breathe easier and helped her with her snoring.

Tell hubby that a stay at home mom is hard work and you need your rest too. Tell him that perhaps he can buy those nose patches that let you sleep and not snore. Good luck.

My husband snores usually only when he is really tired or sick. I have never had to wake him up. Normally I just poke him and he moves onto his side and stops snoring. Every once in a while he snores really loud and wakes me up and I have the hardest time getting back to sleep. I have never had to go sleep on the couch though. I don't snore but I do talk in my sleep. It drives my husband crazy because he doesn't always know if I am awake or not when I am talking to him.

Did you ask him what does a being at home mom have to do with anything? My husband snores too and very loud at times so I know what your saying. I dont wake him either I just go to another room to sleep. Because if I woke him up he would take a fit like a child. I have to realize that most men are like children and Ive come to accept. I also told my husband if he ever wakes me for my snoring I would do the same to him. Give it a try.

He might have a serious problem called sleep apena. I snore really loud and I had 2 sleep tests done and it was determined that I had sleep apena, I know have to wear a mask that helps me get oxygen that helps me breathe better.

well your husband is a one way kind of sort of husband..why try to wake him up also so that he can feel what it likes to be awakened during a night sleep...what i mean is a give and take relationship must be done here...if he thinks he cant sleep when you snore then try to explain to him also that you too cant..then you two must came up a solution on that matter...

your husband should have gone and slept in an other room if he was disturbed by your snoring instead of being unconsiderate to your feelings,I know you are depen dent on him for your daily needs other wise i would say , next time dont throw the pillow at him throuw him out.

My boyfriend snores in bed too and it drives me crazy, sometimes i put the pillow over my head so i cant hear it. It's not that it's loud its just so annoying, and then i cant go back to sleep because all i keep thinking about his the snoring. Eventually i go sleep on the couch.

that is really very inconsiderate and unreasonable of your husband... just because you are a stay at home mum, does that mean that he can disturb your sleep??? does he think that he is the only one that need sleep and you don't??? try to explain to him that you need sleep too and if he has a problem with your snoring, ask him to sleep somewhere else... good luck...

is your husband fat? no offence, but one of the reason of snoring is fat. at least, in my case, it is. I am not fat, but I can easily grow like 5 kilo if I dont do some excercise. so, when I grow to be fatter, I will snore. but , if I keep fit, I wont. hope it can help you. have a good day.

I think snorng is part of our life. When you snore it means that you are very tired. That is my observation. I meet a lot already who has that as well as my father. I dont snore but sometimes i do when i am very tired. Thats the truth.

Both of you get some "Breathe Right" nasal strips and place them on your nose before sleeping. This will open the airways and simmer down your snoring, if not the noise. I wish they had these when my dad was alive. You could hace heard him 2 city blocks away!

You know what? my only criteria of picking a husband is that he must not SNORE. I mean if he doesn't snore since the day he was born, then he's in! Luckily, my boyfriend for three years now doesn't snore at all. At first I thought he was lying, since he know about that criteria of mine. But we took a nap once, we were both tired, and thats when people usually snore right? well he didnt and thank God he didnt coz I want him to be the one that I should marry. So now I know it will work for us. Otherwise, I will have doubts even if I love him so much. My dad and my brother snores the loudest in the world! That's what made me create this criteria. I pity my mom and whoever my brother will marry.
