How can you deal with it? I am about to kill my SO because he snores so much! He didn't snore before but he gain some weight and now snores so LOUD! I am a light sleeper so the smallest noise wakes me up. If I am exhausted, it doesn't bother me too much but at least 4 out 7 nights it does and when it is really bad I go to another room.

Anyone goes through this? What is your solution?

    There are solutions for snoring. Ask your doctor.

    It is a medical problem. Possibly obstructive sleep apnea. And it can be fatal.
    Suggest that he see a sleep specialist for an evaluation. I did and now my wife sleeps in peace. And so do I.
    When they do the sleep study they give a score that counts the number of times per hour that one stops breathing for more than 10 seconds. I scored a 75.

    Snoring is not a deliberate personal attack on one's partner. Don't take it personally.
    Mine is definitely weight related.
    When i had a procedure that required sedation, before i was diagnosed, and the nurse had to shake my arm and tell me to breathe because i would stop and pulse ox would drop below 80%. Then is recovery the O2 alarm went off 4 times because I stopped breathing.
    Now I sleep with a CPAP. And I sleep better and so does my wife.
    Have you husband PM me if he wants to know more about it.

    I snore too loud for my man friend but normally it's not an issue. If it becomes an issue, one of us moves into the guest room.

    Been married almost 25 years. For the last several we have slept in seperate bedrooms. It works for us as both of us snore. I've woken myself up before. I'm scheduled for a sleep study in a few weeks. He won't take one. Yes I would rather sleep together but I also need my sleep. Its a trade off I suppose

    C-pap machine.

    tape tennis balls to his back so he can't sleep on his back.

    tongue clamp

    Or, have him loose weight.

    Needs to go for a sleep study. Does he get tired in the afternoon or find it hard to make it thru a day without taking a nap?

    Snoring is not always accompanied by sleep apnea. C-pap is only prescribed for sleep apnea, not just snoring.
    Losing weight definitely has reduced my snoring. I have done periodic experiments with my wife as "referee." And she said it is definitely less.
    When I get close to my goal weight I'll have to go for another study to see if I still stop breathing.
    Sleep apnea can lead to "sudden night time death syndrome." An adult version of SIDS.
