    Elbow in ribs?

    Pillow over face (his not yours)?

    Banish him to another room?

    It is possible to have surgery. If he is overweight a sleep mask might help.. or just losing weight.

    I shall now go to bed and snore and keep OH awake... again :p

    You have my total sympathy.
    I went to bed last night at 1.30am... my choice.
    was woken repeatedly by snoring hubby, until 6.30 am when zI gave up.
    And he wondered why i was angry when I stomped into the bedroom at 9.30 to get some stuff to go food shopping.

    His answer is always the same, well you snore too. Yes I may well snore, but my snoring obviously doesn't disturb him as his does to me. Otherwise he'd mention it once in a while without prompting.

    Am still awke now as I napped this afternoon, had no choice couldn't keep my eyes open.


    Have done everything can think of, it WILL be the pillow next and I will be enraged enough to be strong enough!!!

    Only one solution. Ear plugs.

    Yep - These!

    Bought these as I'm attending the F1 / Le mans with a mate who snores like hell, so they have multiple uses for me :D

    These work for me, try home bargains for them at less than half the price that the big stores charge.

    Ear plugs indeed. Very uncomfortable and awkward at first, but so perfect once you are used to it. Saying that, my lovely partner's snoring is getting so bad, it is starting to wake me up (as in this morning at 5:30 am!) even with them and I used the wax ones!

    Need more info.

    Why does he snore? Does he have apnoea? Is he overweight? Does he smoke/drink? Does he snore in every position or just in one, e.g. on his back? Do you have a spare room? Have you tried earplugs?

    my OH snores like a baboon so I have to wear earplugs.

    I like the foam ones you can get from Boots, I've always found the wax one's too hard and uncomfortable.

    If OH has had a few drinks, his snoring can reach epic levels so he is banished to the other room.
