My bf snores really loud at times as well that I get scared but when he does I hit him and wake his ass up & then it stops 
He may not even know heās keeping you up unless you tell himā¦ or just go to the chemist yourself and get him something for his snoring and ātell him that you got him something to help with his snoringāso you can sleep better at night.
Your husband has āSleep Apneaāā¦a very dangerous breathing problem ( he quits breathing at least 100 to times a night or moreā¦it can cause a heart attack down the road whatever it takes get some help*
āSO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY CAN ALSO GET SOME RESTā
He needs to consult with his physician because he could have obstructive sleep apnea.
He needs to see a dr- probably has sleep apnea. You donāt snore for no reason. It will help both of you to get that fixed!
Thatās part of marriage in my eyesā¦ take some NyQuil, or malentoninā¦. And definitely ear plugs. and get him something for his nose. Maybe he has sleep apnea.
So I have sleep apnea my boyfriend asked me to address it for a couple of years but I was in denial it got to a place that eventhough I was always sleeping I would fall asleep at work or In the middle of a sentenceā¦when I found out I could do the sleep study at home it was less scary now I have a cpap machine and I feel amazing after sleepā¦so I guess I am saying maybe it is not that he does not care maybe he is super tired too
Put one of your kids in a double bed and hop in beside them!

Ear plugs. Have you tried to use them? Thatās what my MIL does and she says they work. Thatās my suggestion. Good luck
I wake my hubby up when heās snoring , few times heās stopped breathing so he gets a poke in the side or back , Iāve also suggested he seeks medical advice for his snoring but itās like talking to a brick wall

Get him evaluated for sleep apnea.
Heād be on the couchā¦ Seriously he needs a CPAP. They are amazing.
My father stored so loud once that he took my brothers to a Boys out weekend. There were 3 bunks of boys. My father & brothers were in the middle bunk. He had a great nightās sleep! He kept all 3 bunks awake! (The last time he went on a retreat!) In those days they said it was because he had a heart condition. I think he had sleep apnea. I would have him consult his pcp for a sleep study. Good luck, I feel your pain. When he passed away,I couldnāt sleep for a week,then had to sleep with a radio on for months.
Separate bedrooms or couch. As I type this, Iām in the spare bedroom lol
Try repositioning his head in his sleep. My husband snores like a fricken freight train some nights. So I wait until my eyes are hardly staying open & gently tilt his head backward a little to open up his airways.
Sleep with the kids lol
Ear plugs. He probably has sleep apnea and that can be dangerous. I know men are stubborn but its important that he sees a doctor. Maybe try some breathe right strips also.

Sleep apnea. He needs a cpap machine. Tell him heāll feel a thousand times better and more energetic finally getting good sleep too. It can be dangerous if he doesnāt address it, heās not getting enough oxygen and can stop breathing in his sleep

He needs a sleep study for sleep apnea. Most people thing itās not big deal but sleep apnea if left untreated can cause a BUNCH of issues. Can affect your heart and lungs in the long run. Pulmonary Hypertension is NOT something Iād want to deal with because there really is not treatment and can affect your daily life if it becomes severe. Iām a cardiac nurse and see it all the time sadly. It never hurts to get checked and he needs to do it not only for him, but for you guys too!

Honestly if you just āleaveā for the weekend but donāt tell him when you are coming back. Just say you need a good nights rest and get a hotel for a couple nights and make him deal with the kids all weekend then maybe he will see how exhausting it is! Or hide the dinning table at a friendshouse and make the dinning room your bedroom. Like decorating it and everything GO ALL OUT watch tv loud. Invite friends over for wine on week nights and sit right out his bedroom door. Lol if he doesnāt care then just live your best life. Itās frustrating that he doesnāt care about your sleep quality, Iām sorry he feels that way. Also, maybe recording it and playing it very loudly for him all night will make him see how annoying it is.

I sent my husband to get a sleep study and he ended up needing a CPAP machine. He feels so much better and he looks so much healthier since heās started really sleeping better with his machine. Maybe if he looks up how much snoring/sleep apnea can damage his body heāll be more open minded to going to the doctor?
I also wear Loop earplugs every night bc I am a SUPER light sleeper. They dull out a ton of sound but I can still hear my kids if they need me.

Fall asleep first. Or wake him up thatās what I do 
mine refuses to go for a sleep apnea test pisses me off to no end and then complains he didnāt sleep goodā¦ well at least he slept. Grrā¦ but I get a break at least once or twice a week when he leaves for over the road runs.
Every time my husband snored I shoved him and I would say roll over, he said he wasnāt snoring, I just wanted to wake him haha yeah!! Went and got a sleep study he stopped breathing 27 times a night, so he got the c-pap and it ended the snoring!! If he wonāt get a sleep study I would buy a nice blow up mattress and sleep in another room with his door shut and yours!!

You can try flipping him to face away from you. My husband is a little quieter on his right side but still very loud.
Think most of us have this problem and lack of sleep is debilitating and infuriating so ask him to check with the Drs as something could be 
anyway good luck this is certainly very common and maybe try ear plugs 
Get a motel room, one or the other of you go to sleep there! Personally, I would do on my days off so I could rest.
Yes, he probably has sleep apnea. See a Dr. soon. He is at high risk for stroke or other serious consequences.
I didnāt even read all this because the answer, and Iām so sorry but it will save your marriage, is separate bedrooms. Itās lovely. Itās beautiful and it takes away all the anger.

Thatās horrible, because I know exactly how you feel!! I have been married 34 years and I have listened to my husband snore for the majority of those years. He now has a C-PAP for sleep apnea so he no longer snores. I moved across the hall because of my bed hip about 6 years ago and it was the best thing I have done by far!! Good luck to you. 
Push him on the floor, take a sleeping pill and out ya go lol. Nah im jk lol my hubby snores too and wakes me up. But i do into my daughters room and sleep. Try ear plugs. He needs a cpap machine more than likely. Try a sleep study.
Thatās straight up selfishness on his part. Scare him with the long term effects of sleep apnea. Everything from ED to strokes & heart attacks are possibly in his future.
Lol I would give mine a push with my footā¦if his sleep starts getting messed up, he might be willing to do something, wake him up when heās snoring.
Can you try at least ear plugs? Maybe get him some of those nose strips. Or you canāt get a spray bottle full of water and every time he snores spray him with it. If you canāt sleep, he doesnāt get to either.

I am the snorer in my marriage and I now use a mouth guard to sleep. It does take some getting used to but it really helped. You can get them online or ask your dentist about one.
Put a little toothpaste under his nose
Itās not a relationship if problems arenāt mutually approached and fixed.
Casually mention to him that youāve been seeing alot of flies around the house. Go to the reptile store buy dead Flys, and throw them in his mouth while heās sleeping

My so is a VERY heavy sleeper. He is also a VERY loud snoring machine if he lays on his back. I have to physically punch him in the ribs to wake him enough to turn over. I work very early, he works very late so I have to get my sleep. My dad snores and my mom just tickles his nose to make him stop. 
good luck. Itās a struggle.

Tell him to do this yoga for half hour daily. It will help. Do both hands every day. Snoring is bad. So this helps.
Honestly he might need to see a sleep specialist. It could be sleep apnea
The snoring is just a smoke screen for a bigger problem. He is selfish. He doesnāt help not care to help. He doesnāt want to be bothered unless it makes him lose sleep. Frankly he sounds like an ass. When someone shows you how they feel about you, believe them. He doesnāt sound like he cares about you or the kids. Get your own place, trust me, you will sleep so peacefully then. Or better yet, throw him out. Snoring problem solved.
I made mine go to the dr he now wears a c pap
Get him a mouth gard!! Google itā¦
I just kick him until he wakes up. If I donāt fall asleep first Iāll never sleep lol
Kick him off the bed then act like youāre asleepā¦
I had the same problem I used to use ear plugs until my 2 LO were born. My MIL suggested my hubby sleep on the couch but we got him an air mattress. Maybe you can invest in a firm queen size one for you and the kids. Itās really selfish of h seeing as your the one who has to get up through out the night.

I snore really loud. My boyfriend just nudges me awake and Iāll stop. Earplugs may also work.
Sleep in your kids room get an extra sofa bed if needed.
Get a sleep number bed so you can adjust the back to elevate him a little.
Iām the snorer. I felt really bad because of it. I tried everything. Finally I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I was able to do my visits online only. I now have a cpap machine and things have changed for the better. He may want to get tested. He can rest at home

My ex would shove me in bed and scream at me every night because of my snoring. And Heaven forbid If i fell asleep before him
I donāt think people realize how detrimental sleep apnea is to your health. My LO has it and had to see a Lung specialist. She informed us it reeks havoc on your vascular system and puts you at risk for heart attack and stroke. By time you realize it, itās too late because itās a silent killer. You could wake him up and tell him to turn on his side. It will work for a few minutes maybe you could fall asleep in-between. If heās loud enough to wake you from your sleep I would keep waking him and telling him to turn on his side. After a few days of this he may get the point as he will be extra tired from the waking and apnea as it already causes excess tiredness due to lack of oxygen. Im sure heās waking the kids if heās waking you which is causing them a lack of sleep and probably more crankiness through out the day and night. You could invest in a firm queen size air mattress to put in your living room. They come with pumps to inflate and deflate automatically. This will at least help you get some sleep. Itās very selfish of him to not be the one to go on the couch seeing as you have to get up through out the night with kids. If heās doesnāt get it under control soon you wonāt have to worry about it cause itās going to eventually kill him. Good luck Iāve been there.

My husband did a at-home sleep study. He had SEVERE sleep apnea. He stopped breathing 68 times/hour. Oxygen was in the 70s. CPAP has made a huge impact - we are able to sleep in the same room again and are all sleeping better.
Hugs, Iāve been there!

I so felt this post lol. Mine use to snore so bad, I would wake him up, tell him to turn on his side, and sometimes he would say āI canāt help it. I have to work, you donāt. So stopā and then I would be exhausted when the kids would wake me up at 7-8 or when Iād have to get them up for school. I couldnāt get everything done during the day if I slept while he was at work. I started closing his mouth after pinching his nose failed. Iād get up and go sleep on the couch, or Iād go sleep with the kids, and he would get mad sometimes lol. And then one day, I had a complete meltdown because I was so exhausted that I just couldnāt take it anymore. I had a WHOLE meltdown. Like snot and tears everywhere because I couldnāt handle not sleeping good. I took Tylenol PM at night to go to sleep, and sometimes, it helped and sometimes it didnāt. Itād wake the kids up on school nights, if we had company the next day theyād talk about how his snoring was so loud. I got a eucalyptus oil and a diffuser and sat it beside our bed on his side every night and it worked! Some nights his snore would come back, but it was SLIGHT. And if I ever ran out, I secretly rubbed vicks on the end of his nose when he would fall asleep . It opens their bronchial tubes up. Both eucalyptus and vicks. Hope you get some sleep soon!
Sounds like he has Sleep apnea which can kill him in his sleep. Please get him tested

Have him lay on his left sideā¦. It helps
Damn you are willing to leave him over snoring?? SMH. You might want to look at those vows you took and do some serious thinking. Try nasal strips or suggest a sleep study cause it could be sleep apnea.
You do realize he canāt help it right and going to the doctor isnāt going to make it completely stop

Get yourself a bed and put it in the living room. You asked to seek medical attention for this, and his refusal is jeopardizing your health, so do what you have to. Driving while sleep deprived gives you similar reaction time to driving while intoxicated.
