Husband snores and i can't sleep

Convincing him that he snores is no help to you. Get some ear plugs.

He snores, LOUD. It generally wakes me up some time between 1 am and 3 am, and then I can't get back to sleep. When I wake and hear it, I tell him, he adjusts his sleeping position a bit and snoring stops....for about 2 minutes. Then it starts again. I tell him again. Repeat. Usually I just give up after about 4 or 5 rounds of this and just come to terms with the fact that I'm not getting any more sleep that night.

He denies he snores as much as he does. He says he realizes that he snores but it wakes him up to and he immediately stops. Wrong. He goes on and on for hours.

We have no spare room/guest room. I am seriously considering getting a hotel room tonight. I haven't got a full night's sleep in months and I'm exhausted. I get next to nothing done all day because I'm so tired. This is worse than when we had newborn babies.

I just need to vent. Thank you.

This is probably the best reason I've read for buying a house with an additional bedroom so you can sleep in it.

Not really, my DH is a horrible snorer too and we can hear from all over the house. The basement is the only space it doesn't travel too. If only he'd lose 10lbs....the snoring would disappear

Dumb and grossly exaggerated. Sleeping in a different bedroom (especially if it has a few walls between yours and his) will drastically reduce the noise. If you use earplugs, I guarantee even the lightest sleeper won't hear him.

NP here. Either you're partially deaf or your spouse is a light snorer. I guuarantee you I wear earplugs and can STILL hear DH snore. When we visit my in-laws, I can hear my FIL snore in the room next door. Even when I have earplugs.

And by the way, earplugs keep me up at night, too. Because I have tinnitus and wearing earplugs makes the ringing sound louder, which is a bummer, especially because it still doesn't drown out the snoring.

I am, needless to say, an extremely light sleeper.

My french bulldog snores loud, but somehow it is a cute snoring that we all adore. I can't stand my husband snoring.

Consider getting a sleep study

Record him snoring on your phone and play it back.

Most people don’t use earplugs properly. If they don’t block snoring from the next room, you’re not using them right.

The foam ones need to be twisted/squished into a narrow tube and slid very far into the ear canal. Then it expands and blocks sound. Very little of the end of the earplug should be sticking out of the ear.

I see so many people who barely set the earplug in their ear and expect them to do something.

You can find them on eBay or Amazon sometimes.

I am sure it has something to do with the shape of the ear. I can't get the foam ones in far enough and they hurt. ear buds don't stay in my ears and they hurt. The only ear plugs that work are wax. In any case, sorry, but there is only so much ear plugs can do if someone is snoring right next to you.

Yes I use white noise and ear plugs on vacation but I still get woken up again and again when we are on vacation. At home my husband sleeps in another room.

my DH snores pretty bad. I use a white noise machine (the good kind for babies, that’s an actual fan thing inside, not a recording), which is loud even on the low setting. Combined with the foam earplugs (read what a PP wrote at 23:11 about using them correctly), and sometimes I’ll put a pillow between our heads too. It’s ridiculous.

Doing all of that helps. I also nudge/ push him if it’s exceptionally loud and he’ll roll over.
At least once a week I’ll take a half a dose of unisom just to ‘re-set’.
