[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]His snoring and my (related) exhaustion. [/quote]

Do you have another bedroom in the house? My husband started sleeping in the guest room (which is on a different floor and is generally much colder than the rest of the house, so he actually loves it). I highly recommend it. Our marriage is otherwise great now that I don't hate him for ruining my sleep. (I tried multiple kinds of ear plugs, noise machines, and sleeping pills before coming to this solution). [/quote]

Sadly, no. We have a three bedroom apartment - our 11 year old has a single bed in her room and our 7 year old has our old double bed. Many nights I will go in and sleep with her but this isn’t ideal because she’s not great at sleeping through the night on her own and she’s made a lot of progress that we want to encourage. So I try to avoid it. Sometimes I’ll invite my 11 year old to have a “sleep over” in our room and send DH to go sleep in her room. Since I tend to stay up the latest I’m considering some sort of mattress I could put out in our living room at night. He was tested for apnea (negative). I’d like him to lose a little weight and / or go to the ENT. He’s open to both in theory but hasn’t taken steps on either yet. Which maybe is an argument that the actual worst problem in our marriage is we’re busy and he doesn’t prioritize his health. (His sister has had some health issues and for two years I’ve told him the only birthday present I want is for him to get an early colonoscopy- recommended because his sister has had some pre-cancerous polyps removed. He hasn’t done it yet (and he’s not 45 so his doctor hasn’t pressured him, but has approved him for one) and I spend a lot of energy worrying.)[/quote]
