No kids to factor in but we both snore (no sleep apnea etc.). I use earplugs and sleep in another room, we just built a 2nd master BR in our recent renovation to accommodate. It kind of sucks when we travel and share a bed/room, hard to get a decent night's sleep.

Ha! I have never been so happy. Separate rooms is like a vacation. After being married a long time I know love being alone at night.
Amen

Be sure to rub them between your fingers to "smash" them skinnier and then immediately slide them as deep into the canal as you can. They won't go far, but you don't want the end poking out too much.

I like the foam ones that are shaped like cones. Flents brand, purple in color.

Made him do a sleep study where they recommended a CPAP. It saved us from separate bedrooms.
I still wear earplugs every night but now we can both get a decent night's sleep.

When my DH snores I just go downstairs to our comfy couch (after sighing loudly or thrashing about to try to wake him up unsuccessfully 
), because our guest room is right next to our bedroom and I would still be able to hear him. If my kids see my downstairs in the morning they know daddy was snoring.

At that point, we both agreed that we would be better partners if we slept apart. We've been sleeping in separate rooms for almost our entire 12 year marriage, and we couldn't be happier. We have three children and, despite not sleeping together, we find many opportunities for and different ways to express intimacy. We both appreciate our "alone" time as much as we appreciate our "together" time.
Do your kids ever ask why you don't sleep in the same room? I went back to the master bedroom because I didn't want my daughter to think something was wrong between us.
Uh....tell her "Dad snores really loudly."
