Does anyone else deal with this problem? My DH snores like a 747 Airbus coming in for a landing-and it feels like I'm laying under the plane as it flies just feet over my body...
It's so bad that we haven't slept together much over the past 5 years, and rarely have slept an entire week together in the 12 years we've been together. He's already had one surgery- where they removed his uvula, and roto-rootered his nose, but needless to say, that only lasted a few months and he was back to sounding like a foghorn calling ships in from the sea.
I'm in such a pissy mood right now I could scream. We are on vacation and I'm tired of drugging myself into oblivion just so I can try and fall asleep before he does (he can fall asleep within 5 minutes of putting his head on his pillow. I on the other hand can be drugged on 2 vicodin, and 2 over the counter sleeping pills PLUS my progesterone and STILL not be able to sleep through his snoring, and most nights I can't even fall asleep even though I'm so dizzy and loopy from all the meds, he's just too loud to fall asleep... I find myself plotting ways to end his life because I'm sick and tired of being tired and I'm tired of not being able to sleep together.
I've prayed over him, claimed healing, praised God for said healing even before any results had manifested, I've begged God for the snoring to stop, prayed that God would strike me into a coma so I could fall asleep right away and not hear his snoring and not wake up 42 times per night to his roaring snores, and I've gotten nothing!
SO here I sit at 2 am, wide awake, and I've already taken my limit of sleeping pills, progesterone, and back medicine...if I take anymore they'll have to pump my stomach. I even tried sleeping in the bathroom on my lawn chair/beach chair and that didn't work. It got so hot in there, and I could still hear his snoring by the way, that I came out here to get online because I can't sleep.
We are supposed to see his daughter tomorrow and her new son, and all I want to do is have him drop me off at the hotel we'll be staying at so I can sleep, but if I do that I'll be wide awake later that night when he's fast asleep.
Thanks for thinking about me, but no- Breathright strips, and snoring mouthwashes, pills and sprays DO NOT WORK...the only thing that would work is to smother him in his sleep.
I have the air on high, and even that isn't drowning out his snoring. I'm tempted to go to the car, but he'd get ticked if I did that.
I'm out of options, and quite frankly I'm at wits end. I'm tired of having to drug myself just to TRY and sleep with my husband and I'm tired of vacations being ruined because I can't sleep in the same room with him. And he wonder's why I'm crabby and too pooped to party (if you know what I mean)
I just needed to vent. THanks for the ears... I would like to turn on the TV, but I know that would wake him and upset him, but if I can't sleep, then neither should he in my humble opinion.
I know that's the fatigue and immense frustration talking but I've had enough...12 years of this is enough- ya know? UGH! :cry:
