Lets say you and your partner are laying in bed, snuggled up sweetly together?

Question

...when suddenly he/she starts sawing logs in your right ear and it's driving you insane. You know they've had a hard days work, and need their rest. What would YOU do?

Lay there and take it 'til you fall asleep, slowly untangle yourself from their arms and slide to the other side of the bed, toss them off of you, complain, hold their nostrils shut, what?

Answer 1

I snore.  My wife usually gets me to roll over.  I usually don't even remember.  He probably won't either.

Answer 2

i always turn my husband over and then he stops

Answer 3

I would shift my position a little in the hope that he would move to a different position and stop making the noise.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Answer 4

This normally happens to me when my husband is in a half sitting position, so I adjust myself so that I'm laying down more and he, still mostly asleep, cuddles back down next to me, and that stops his snoring. Even if he does wake up a bit, it's normally nothing so much to keep him up. If that fails, just a little rub on the head and "honey, baby, you're snoring" and they smack their lips and scrunch their eyes and roll over and fall back to sleep ... i actually find it quite endearing!

Answer 5

I gently nudge her to wake her up so that GD noise will stop!

Answer 6

Knowing that he had a long day I would go into another room and watch tv until I am tired and then come back to bed. That following day I would as them the same question you're asking us and see what they think. They might answer your question better than we do.

Answer 7

Kick her.

Answer 8

move to another area to go to sleep

Answer 9

Nudge him and hopefully he will switch positions enough to stop his snoring. Works with my husband.

Answer 10

my husband does it to me all the time!! I usually wake him up.. lastnight I couldnt take it anymore so I got up woke him up and made him put a breathe right strip on.. I fight him everynight about his snoring.. normally just pulling the blanket works ( better than hitting him)  

Answer 11

i plug his nose

Answer 12

haha i have to do this all the time... i just wake him up gently and go babbeeee turn over. and he does, and it stops, for the time being anyway.

Answer 13

I had to laugh when I read this question because I have a fabulous husband with one fault..SNORING...so finally he started to use Breathe Right strips and it has worked like a charm..try it!  Good Luck..

Answer 14

Sleep in the floor or on the couch where ever it didn't bother me at.

Answer 15

this is almost a nightly occurrence in our bed. i roll over and put on my mp3 player, i'm usually asleep before i know it.

Answer 16

My father used to snore so loudly that my mother would take his dirty socks off the floor and stuff them into his mouth and hold his nose until he woke up.  

...Just saying. :)

Anyway, my really suggestion would be to suffer through that one night, unfortunately.  Then, the next day explain to him how much of an issue this is.  Ask that he see a doctor, because you're not getting a good nights sleep (plus, there are heath risks and complications that can come with sleep apnea.)  Explain that you love sleeping with him every night very much, but you won't be able to if he doesn't see a doctor and get the snoring straightened out, because you aren't sleeping!

Also, he can try the over the counter nostril strips.

Good luck!

Answer 17

Well snuggling is snuggling - he is obviously tired and needs some sleep.  He wouldn't have been any good trying to draw MORE out of him on a nite like that anyway - so I just roll over (no attempt at slowly untangling anything - I just move!) and let him sleep if he wants to sleep.  No harm - No foul!

If you wanted or hoped for MORE out of that evening you obviously waited FAR TOO LONG to get his blood going if he fell asleep I'd say!  Try again the next day.... no biggie.  HAPPENS all the time.....

Answer 18

You gently move them to the side, if your mean he will remember this forever. If he has just come from work and has had a hard days work then leave him alone or just gently touch his arm or face that works.

Answer 19

I would move away.  If he still is snoring and I cant sleep then I will go on the couch and sleep.

Answer 20

I start by moving around a little hoping that will wake her up. If that doesn't work I move on to gentle kicking and if that fails the old nose clamp is applied until she wakes up or turns blue :)
