Ha, my DH is horrible (though he claims I have my moments, too). And he is a really DEEP sleeper, too. I feel ya. I "accidentally" knee him/punch him/shove him a LOT.

Ugh, it's the worst! I usually pull the pillow out from under his head, lol. Or just shove him to get him to move his head a bit. Luckily he goes right back to sleep, so I don't feel too badly.

Omg, my DH snores so loud that I can sometimes hear him across the house even with the door closed. The only thing that helps is to get him to sleep on his side. I basically poke him until he turns on his side.

I plug his nose. But when I told him I did that, he dramatically told me it could "stop his heart". So now we all make fun of him for it!

Luckily the only time DH sleeps on his back is when he is drunk, but then it is a SNORE FEST! Ughhhh.

My dad has that problem so he got a mask thing. I have no idea what it is called but it is a mask that goes over his nose and gives him oxegyn. ? Dont know but it did wonders for them!

My husband started snoring REALLY BAD about a year ago, out of nowhere. Apparently he developed sleep apnea. So now he has a (whisper quiet) machine and it's a non-issue now. When he's sick and can't use his machine, I have to resort to earplugs or a guest bedroom.

My DH is a massive snorer, he is having a septoplasty and sinus revision in January which will hopefully help. I have started snoring since pregnancy as well though It doesn't seem to be getting any better PP.

Sleep apnia? Il remember one day

My DH snores SUPER loud too. When we first got together I could barely share a bed with him, then moved to earplugs and then finally realized it went away if he slept on his right side. If he starts snoring in the middle of the night I just wake him up and tell him he's snoring and he knows to roll on his side.

HAHA to the title

I'm with you, sister. DH is sawing logs right now.

I'm currently on the couch thanks to hubs' snoring so I feel your pain! He will usually roll over to his side when I wake him up and tell him he's snoring. And I can usually fall back to sleep before he starts again. But I'm 38 weeks pregnant and sick with an ear infection so I'm probably not getting back to sleep no matter what!

@mrsjazz: Yes!

I used to have to wake Wagon Sr. up several times a night to tell him to roll onto his side!! ughhhhh. But we just tried Breathe Right strips for the first time and they work pretty well!! Sometimes he doesn't get it on right and the snoring still comes thru, but on good nights it changes from snoring to really loud breathing-- still annoying, but at least if I'm already asleep I can sleep thru it!!!

If the snoring has suddenly gotten worse, I'd see if he should get checked for sleep apnea. My dad has it and uses the oxygen mask that some PPs have already mentioned. It can actually be a pretty dangerous condition, so I think it could be a good idea to look into it. Two questions that could help determine if he might have it: Is he overweight at all? (I believe apnea is more common in overweight people--my dad didn't develop it until he gained weight) And is it steady snoring or does it come in bursts?
