Does your DH snore? If so, how to you "deal" with it?
DH never used to snore-very rare occasions and not very long. The past 2-3mos he snores every night. I would nudge him to get him to roll over and it would stop. Well, the past week or so nothing helps. I can nudge/kick all I want and he'll just roll over and continure snoring. And it's LOUD. Its fine at bedtime b/c I go to bed first so I fall asleep first. But I tend to wake up a lot overnight (bathroom, roll over, etc) and then I'm screwed and can't fall back to sleep b/c its so loud. I'm a very light sleeper so this is a pain! The past 2 nights I got up in the middle of the night to sleep in our spare bedroom. DH keeps joking that we'll have separate rooms in our new house, but I dont want to be that couple. Any suggestions?
Re: NBR-Snoring
My grandparents slept in different rooms for as long as I can remember. They were married until they passed, both in their 80's!
Dh snores a little, usually a swift push or nudge will stop it. I find it more annoying that he watches tv in bed. I have threatened to sleep elsewhere because of it! I wear an eye mask sometimes to block of the flashing light of the TV. Try ear plugs!
He has been working late so I go to bed alone....got to say, it's kind of nice!

I actually like it. When DH is out late or I go to bed early, I have trouble sleeping bc it sounds too quiet. Even with the humidifier and monitor going. It's the teeth grinding that drives me crazy, but he refuses to look into a mouth guard.
The breathe right strips do work well though. He used them a bit with his sinus issues and it made his snoring go away. My dad had awful snoring for years, and ended up getting a sleep study where they found he had severe sleep apnea. Very scary. Sometimes snoring can be a sign of something bigger.
