[quote=Anonymous]My husband refused to go get the sleep study for years, saying that he couldn't bear the thought of the CPAP machine. I was furious and sleep deprived - we don't have a spare bedroom, or I'd have been in it full time, even though he, too, likes to snuggle.

I've tried ear plugs. I've tried knocking myself out with meds. They didn't work for me. And I'm prone to insomnia - which manifests itself in my not being able to get back to sleep once I've been awakened. So even though I usually go to bed first, and fall asleep reasonably quickly, my husband's snoring meant I just wasn't getting enough sleep.

Finally he got the sleep study and got the machine. My feelings toward him are so much nicer now that I'm not sleep deprived all the damn time anymore. He still snores a bit with the machine - but it's much lighter. And even on those occasions it keeps me up, since I no longer feel like he doesn't care that I can't sleep, I am much more amenable to going to sleep on the couch every once in a while without resenting him for it.
