His snoring is my problem?

[Anonymous]

we sleep in separate rooms and have for the most part for the past 10 years. DH snored but also punches walls/people in his sleep and thankfully doesn't want to hurt me, so volunteered to move to the guest room. I am now so spoiled, I cannot sleep if we have a share a bed in a hotel room.

I would sleep on the couch. If a few days or weeks of that doesn't change anything for him, I'd get a really nice sleeper sofa.

He’s asleep, he can’t help it.

I move to the couch or guest room. It’s my problem because he is asleep and can’t control these movements.

Has he tried the anti-snoring nose strips? they work pretty well.

I snore very loudly. I did a sleep study but the doc said it was only "mild" apnea, whatever that means. Nevertheless, I got a CPAP, not just to make things quieter in the shared bedroom, but because I found that I slept better with it. No more waking up in the middle of the night for "unknown" reasons, no more waking up with a sore throat from snoring like a hog. I would encourage OP's DH at least to try it and see if he feels better. He might not even realize how poorly he's sleeping without it.

Which kind works?

Those strips didn't work for me.

Tell him to go to Virginia Heart and get another study. That sounds like it could be apnea.

I suppose if he doesn't treat it, at least he'll be gone soon.

Yikes. OP here on my 3rd serving of caffeine plus a couple of advice for the headache.

Yeah, the doctor who declined to treat was a sleep specialist. This was years ago and he is worse now, but he had just given me a concussion from the arms in the air that drop when they drop thing. We bought a bigger bed with room for an elbow rest pillow between our heads, but meanwhile I've gotten older and less able to sleep soundly and he's gotten a lot more active (and less able to sleep soundly). Thanks all for letting me blow off a little steam while I seethed.
