My hubby is the snorring one here . Oh my, sometimes it is as if he sawing trees with a chainsaw.... . The problem is also that he falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow, where I usually stay awake for at least one hour... .
Last year I got really worn out because I didn't get enough sleep. The doctor suggested those yellow ear-plugs: you sqeeze them between your finger, then insert into the ear canal. My life has changed since then !! I only hear him now when his "chainsaw" gets overheated, LOL .
I am so sorry that you cannot stand plugs....

One new problem now: it happens regularly that he says something to me, and I don't hear a thing. Then comes the "bump" on my back: "Hey, you deaf or something??"

LOL!!!!!
