    My husband snores so badly that even trough earplugs and having a pillow over my ears, I can't ever sleep with him. He snores worse then I've ever heard anyone snore. It shakes the bed it's so obnixious. It can be heard throughout the entire house. Right now we're talking about sleeping in different rooms because I never get any sleep. I'm a light sleeper and it's not comfortable sleeping with earplugs every night, but I must. I wish they had earplugs that blocked out everything, but then I wouldn't hear Quinn if she cries. Sleeping on the sofa is an option I guess, but it's always covered in cat and dog hair. I can live with the dog hair, but I get itchy around my cats and the cats don't sleep on my bed ever, so my bed is always free of cat hair. Whoever sleeps on the sofa also gets licked on the face by either of the dogs, and that's very annoying.

    I'm not sure what to do about this horrendous snoring I have to live with on a daily basis. I guess I just won't ever sleep a full night.

    I kinda had to laugh at this. You have an 18 month old and a baby on the way....of course you will never sleep a full night.
    Although, I do not have children and I NEVER sleep through the night, EVER! And it's not because of snoring either. It's just me.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I wanted to add that I have always snored - probably has to do with my asthma, allergies, and the shape of my mouth and palate. As a child, when I was going to camp or anything, before the first night, I'd tell everyone "I snore. I know I snore. If it wakes you up, or is keeping you awake, please wake me up. I will then stay awake until I know you have gotten back to sleep.

    The one time a girl complained the next morning about my snoring, all the other girls yelled at her and said "She TOLD you to wake her up! Why didn't you?" and that was the end of it.

    A couple pf my friends snored BAD until they were diagnosed with sleep apnea and purchased sleep-ap machines. Both of them said they never realized how much sleep they were missing out on until they could breathe well through the night.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    I do have a friend whose husband had that sleep apnea test. He doesn't have to be hooked to a breathing machine, but he has one of those mouth inserts to sleep with. It pulls his lower jaw out just slightly and that helps keep the airway opened. He's really happy with it. And so is she.

    I was going to suggest that people whos hubbys snore really bad should go get tested.

    My bf snores but only when he's on his back.

    Sleep Apena is a serious problem, please get your snorer to a doctor ASAP.

    My husband & I - ok I suffered through his snoring for years before we had it cheked out....good thing, he could have died!!

    This is something you should not take lightly!!

    I don't have a snorer, unless you count Morgan. (my kitty) And my friend did have the sleep apena test done. I do have other family members that have the machine to help them while sleeping.

    I use Mack's earplugs. They are soft and comfortable and work well. http://www.drugstore.com/products/pr...I-0-EVGR-49973
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Mine falls asleep in a second and snores loud enough to be heard down the street I'm sure...he he. I always wear earplugs but he can snore right through that so it's nudge nudge all night. Unfortunately he can snore in any position , I put up with it because I drive him nuts with my sleepwalking when I do fall asleep.
