he, he... I believe we should all have a nice morphine drip at all times!! But Seriously now, I have a lot of the same issues...lately have been using a little tylenol pm on occasion. Tried the melatonin and it only worked a couple of times. I would talk to your doctor...sleep deprivation is the worst and really wreaks havoc on the body! Good Luck!0

sleep in back guest bedroom, put on white noise, and wear ear plugs, hang a "do not disturb" sign on doorknob, and lock the bedroom door?0

That was a funny story-but not funny. I sleep alone and have battled insomnia so I understand the desire for a good night's sleep. I'm finally to the point where I get good sleep at night I'd say 90% of the time. Looks like your husband has the solution-go sleep in the other room before he get's in there!! Let the snorer, the kickers and the licker all stay together in that room!!!
Seriously- I hope you get a solution soon because aside from losing weight, you just need sleep to be able to function day-to-day!!!0 -
ACK!!
LOOKING AT my smartphone, I see I performed an internet search about SNORING (as in stopping your husband from doing so) at 1:30, 2, and 3:20 this morning.
Sleep deprivation stinks.0 -
Take advantage of the kids' time at their grandparents', and pop in some earplugs. Lock yourself in the spare room, and ignore everything! You might try a couple of gravol/dramamine. I take them for sleep, and they wear off by morning.
And don't drink too much water before bed!0 -
Oh my! Glad this did not end with you smothering the big guy. Last glass of water no later than 7PM or even 6. Agree that you should be the one to go in the spare room. Or at least take turns with it.0

And my husband gets up at weird hours to go do his business, but he does one better and turns on the radio, LOUD. =/
I would SO be doing something to that radio! My husband snores horribly. I could hear him through the closed door. I can hear him when I get up, close our bedroom door and go down the hall and sleep on the couch. No one should be able to make that much noise with just their nose! I've considered inserting peanut M&M's into his nostrils on occasion. He doesn't think that's funny.
As a wife of a snorer...I think the peanut M&M's are VERY funny:laugh:

Seriously...put the dog in the kennel, take the kids back to their bed (tell them they can have a treat in the morning) and do something about that hubby. Have you gone to a sleep specialist? My daughter used to sleep with me, but I finally kicked her out. If the dog didn't lie completely still I'd kick him too. Fortunately (??) no hubby for me to worry about.0

I agree. Time for some tough love.0 -
You're braver than I am. I would have killed myself or strangled the little rugrats to death by now if it were me. I am thankful every day that I do not have kids or pets! Luckily white noise and earplugs works decently enough against the wife's snoring too.0

There are some great suggestions on here. Thanks guys. I will definitely be checking some of these out. And I did have a very serious and grumpy talk with the small fry about why gramma has her own bed and why they have theirs.0

She does not understand that sleep is my fondest desire. The elusive, mythical state that I have heard about and long to attain.
Getting a good night's sleep isn't an optional extra, a nice thing to have, it is vital to physical and mental wellbeing. My comments below might seem harsh, but it sounds like you need a wake up call. <-- Wake up call, get it? :bigsmile:So till she gets her car fixed, we have a 5 AM wake up. This morning she's off, so we decided to sleep in until 7:30An hour later my husband is up, turning on the bathroom light in our room (couldn't use the hallway bathroom?) and making all sorts of noises in there. This is the third night in a row..time to get rid of more of the WATER. Another trip to the bathroom..the idiot who works weird hours is up walking his dog in the school yard across the street. He is whistling for his dog. Both my dogs go nuts.4:00...my just turned 3 year old granddaughter wanders in.."Can I sleep in you bed?"At this point I was sandwiched between my grandson and my dog. <snip> The dog has gotten down and is now under the bed making annoying licky noises.My husband flips and flops in the bed across the hall. After 10 minutes I tell him I will sleep in there. He says he's fine, then proves it by beginning to snore 10 minutes later.
I feel for you, I really do, but you're making a rod for your own back here.0 -
And people wonder why women murder their husbands.0
