Is that an onomatopoeia for snoring?
I’m having fantasies about having my own bedroom. It’s not that I’m unromantic, I just don’t put romance over and above sleep on my list of priorities anymore.
Here’s how this works, I strategically fall asleep hours before my husband even comes to bed. I snooze peacefully for a while. Then I’m awake. I lie there wondering why I’m awake.
No bad dreams, no kids crying, no anxiety or stress. Just awake.

Oh, that. The snoring.
Nudge. Honey, you’re snoring again. Roll over please.

Nudge. Honey, roll over.

Poke. Honey, you’re still snoring.

I count myself lucky because my husband will at least try the snore strips and this spray that’s supposed to shrink the tonsils or something. He even says he’ll consider seeing a doctor about sleep apnea. He mentioned snore strips to his friend who loudly said he would refuse to wear such a thing for his wife - which might help explain his divorce.
Tonight I’m including ear plugs in the snore arsenal. My hubby swears he’ll get up with the baby if he cries. I’m nervous about that, but the baby sleeps through the night most of the time.
Anyone have a miracle snoring remedy?

Wish I had some advice. My solution is to sleep on the comfy chair in the living room.

Traccee - my husband and I have a nightly throw-down over snoring! He goes to sleep way before me and I roll him over right when i come to bed which buys me about a 5 minute window to fall asleep before it starts all over again. This is how it goes: “Honey, roll over”
Big sigh from him, angry flopping around, pulling and tangling of covers which I have to immediately straighten out (pet peeve of mine) the process of which wakes him up again..
“SELFISH *****” or “LEAVE ME ALONE” or “STOP” as loud as he can then the actual roll over…
I climb in, praying the kids aren’t disturbed, get settled - he starts up right as I’m drifting off and I lay away pissed that he’s disturbing my sleep and has the nerve to bark (and sometimes curse) at me. Each inconsistent, raw syllable of the snore sears into me as I try to focus on a prayer for patience…
I don’t know what to do either. I know it’s unintentional, and I know he has no idea of what he’s saying when I wake him. Last night I had a fantasy of me holding him down and attacking him w/ a breathing strip.

Just sleep in one of your THREE bathrooms. Throw a mattress over a tub, and have a secret hide out.
Hobo bed in the bathroom. I’m classy like that.

I’m of the mind that the snorer should move to the couch.
He could go be tested for sleep apnea and wear an oxygen mask.
