This is what it's come to

[eyenigh]

Thought you guys would like this. I mentioned earlier this week how my husband was killing me with his snoring so I kicked him out into the spare room. This should fix the waking-me-up problem, right? Nope. He gets up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and in a sleepy haze, forgets where he was sleeping and comes crashing back into bed with me. This has happened more than once now and the night before last, I had a bunch of books and remotes on his side (since he wasn't supposed to be there) and he shoved it all into my face, which scared the crap out of me and I couldn't fall back to sleep again.

Last night, I got smart and put the baby gate across the hallway so he couldn't even make it down the hallway to our room. He came into the bathroom while I was getting ready this morning and was like "Did you seriously baby gate me so I couldn't come in the room? Why would you do that?" and I said "Of course I did, did you just realize it?" He said "No, I walked right into it last night." I replied "Why are you even asking me why I did it if it did exactly what you know I wanted it to do?"

I was so excited my little trap worked.

LOL. That is amazing you baby gated him. I told DH is has been snoring terribly the last 2 weeks and he thinks I am lying. I am seriously about to video tape him and show it to him in the morning.

[helenahhandbasket]

I am crying.

SO is a snorer. I don't have any previous experience with that so he lets me fall asleep first and then comes to bed if he's staying over. It helps some.

Drinking heavily also helps.

Do it!

[dmlk413]

That's hilarious!

[mamaturtle]

LOL!

He probably thought you were asleep when you placed all that stuff on his side and pushed away on top of you!

[waffles]

OMG! This is awesome.

DP is a snorer. Ugh. It's annoying. I spent the better part of a year sleeping on the couch. She can also fall asleep in about 20 seconds, so there is no hope for me unless I go to bed well before her.

I do this. I record DP with my cell phone and then text it to her. lol

Wow, the measures you have to take..
So glad DH is not a snorer, we' d need a bigger house, with more bedrooms.

[namastebiotches]

Bahahahaha that's great.
I don't know what I'd do if dh snored. Lucky for me, the man is basically comatose when he sleeps. Lol

I don't get why people don't believe snoring comments. Like, what's the logic there?

This coming from a pair of HEAVILY snoring people. We've kept entire barrack wings up with snoring.

[BostonKisses]

Bahahahahaha! That's too funny!

[penguin129]

That is too funny. They need to change the marketing on the package...

[queenbabee]

So far I have only tried kicking the hell out of DH until he stops (multiple times a night). Baby gate you say? Noted.

Right?! What do I have to gain from lying about your snoring habits?!

[stellabunny]

That's fantastic! I love it. DH snores most nights, sometimes worse than others. It drives me nuts because I'm not a real good sleeper. It's one of the few things that I miss about my ex-husband; he wasn't a snorer.

Mine too, but he does snore.

Bummer. H is basically silent. Sometimes you can't even tell if he's breathing.

What is so weird is most of the time DH is silent (like scary silent at times) but then sometimes he snores so loud! And it isn't even because he has a cold or anything. Just out of nowhere he'll snore like a beast for a few weeks and then nothing.

That would probably scare the hell out of me & result in a nice smack.
Men are weird.

My dad does that. He has really bad sleep apnea tho.

Yeah, I totally did that.

DH thought I was exaggerating how loud he is, so I had to show him.  He snores softly when sleeping on his side, but sounds like a chainsaw on his back, so I'm always elbowing him to roll over.  He thought I was just being mean or trying to get more room!

[violette]

I'm a terrible snorer. DH is sweet enough to wear earplugs every night to deal with it, although he will decamp to the guest room if it's bad enough.

Of course, the upside for him is that I'm the only one who can hear LO in the middle of the night. But she'll grow out of that in a year or two, and I'll keep snoring forever.

I did this when DH was snoring bad. I used my phone so it wasn't playing as loud as it really was and he laughed at me. haha! He finally found a way to sleep where he wouldn't snore and it's been a lot better for him and for me! 

Dying over you babygating him in! that is too hilarious!!

[esmerelda]

H swears I bark and bite in my sleep. There is no video evidence so I don't buy it. But he snores and loudly. My dad however is comparable to an wild boar. Its disgusting and you can here it all through the house

LOL. My mom lives with us and she screams in her sleep sometimes. Her bedroom is off of the kitchen and DH gets up early for work and heard her one morning. He was so freaked out. He came running in and was like "OMG is she okay?!" Humans do weird things in their sleep.
