Janet has your husband tried a bipap machine. I know what you mean because I went through this with my husband. I wanted to kill him. It turned out he has a sleep apnea and he would actually stop breathing then come up snoring. It's very dangerous. Have him checked by a sleep center or sleep doctor. Elaine

It is quite obvious that he has sleep apnea Elaine, but he won't do anything about it. I figure if he doen't want to do anything, then he can go to another room.
He has woke up before almost running down the hall in the middle of the night sounding like a goose trying to breath. I can't make him go to the Dr. I tell him he should go, but he doesn't. I just don't feel I should have to suffer and lose sleep because he won't do anything at all about the snoring. I'm sorry you went through the snoring thing too. I would love to shove the TV remote down his throat when he does it....lol.

You are right Janet, you can't MAKE him get treatment. Some men are like that - they just will not go to the doctor. My hubby has sleep apnea too and he says he just can't wear the c-pap machine. He says it makes him feel like he is suffocating. He gets panicky. So he wears oxygen at night. It's not as good as c-pap, but it helps.
Anyway, I understand that you can't make your husband get help for the snoring - so the only solution for you (because he's not going to help himself) is for you to have separate rooms. Good luck!

Thanks...I'm going to need the luck. He is one of those guys that puts off going to the Dr. unti the very last minute. He was in so much pain for years with his back and finally got tired of it. Good thing, the Drs said if he waited much longer they wouldn't have been able to do anything for him.
I posted on another thread..forgot about this one..that last night after I left the chat room, he got his camping mat and slept on the living room floor. I slept so good last night and didn't wake up until 10 minutes before 8. That is some kind of record for me...I never sleep that late. I must have needed it because I feel so rested this morning. This really should prove to him how much he is distrubing my sleep. I mean, after all these years the man knows my sleep pattern...lol. It still may take a little while...I don't want him to be too upset, but it will happen.

Do you have a tape recorder? If so, tape him when he's snoring and play it for him - maybe then he'll realize how difficult it is for you to sleep.
Best of luck with this! |
