Why should anyone suffer for the sake of being close together while sleeping, or trying to sleep? You can still have sex any other time.

My DH pouts when I sleep in the other room, but I think it's a combination of him missing me and being on all night kid duty alone. Not sure which he likes least.

I can usually fall asleep before him or have him roll over so his snoring will stop. If not, I would rather deal with pouting than miss sleep because he is snoring. I have a hard time not being angry with him when he disturbs my sleep, even when it's not his fault, so I think sleeping in the other room is preferable to me being a grouch to DH.

Mine would rather sleep in separate rooms than go to the doctor. His unwillingness to see a doctor has caused more damage to our relationship than our sleeping separately has. Sometimes you just want a person to TRY, even if it doesn't solve the problem.

I wear ear plugs. My husband is in denial about his snoring and says its me who snores. I don't want to argue with him so I wear ear plugs and sleep peacefully.

The only solution we found was for my husband to get a sleep study. Sure enough, he has sleep apnea and his c-pap mask took away his snoring. It's a marriage saver.

My husband refuses to see a doctor about his snoring. So I wear earplugs. They don't block out all sound, they just muffle things. You also get used to them after a while and start hearing more stuff even while wearing them. When his snoring is too much for me, I go to another room. I slept in the guest room for almost a year. If I'm sick then I always go to the guest room to make sure I get a full night's sleep, or my husband occasionally volunteers to sleep on the couch. Sometimes I take benadryl or valerian to make myself extra sleepy, but that can make me groggy when I wake up the next morning, so I don't do that often.

separate rooms

Vacation can be hard, luckily there is extra alcohol on vacation.

Dh pokes me and then I wake up enough to move from my back to my side. But when I was pregnant I snored so loudly that he had to move to another room.

I wear earplugs, and have for years, I can still hear my kids with them in. I also try to go to sleep before my husband so that I can be sound asleep before he goes to sleep and starts snoring.
Occasionally, when I am really exhausted, one of us will sleep in the guest room to get a break.

Sleep deprivation is misery.

Consider sending your partner for a sleep evaluation. My husband had one at Georgetown, it was covered by our insurance.

Separate rooms.

I wear earplugs and he's on monitor duty. Or I sleep in the guest room. I've slowly changed it up in there so when I do have to use it, it feels like a nice luxurious escape.

OP, what remedies as the snorer tried? Has he or she talked to a doctor?

One of you sleeps in another room.

We're struggling with this right now - there are two young children in the house (infant and toddler) so I don't want to wear earplugs...
