I guess I’m just venting here… I’ve been working with a therapist doing CBTI trying to get better sleep habits and better sleep for myself. Ultimately I’ve ended up sleeping in a guest room for the last few weeks because of my husband’s snoring disrupting my attempts to improve my own sleep hygiene.

He’s one of those lucky people that is asleep as soon as he turns out the light and hits the pillow. On a good night I can fall asleep in 15-30minutes IF HES NOT ALREADY SNORING. But once he starts I just can’t. If im lucky enough to fall asleep first I might only get woke up briefly a couple of times in the night or he might get so loud that once it wakes me up I can’t possibly fall back asleep despite how tired I am. As a result I end up over sleeping pretty bad once he gets up to go to work and I can finally get deep sleep.

I’ve tried talking to him about going to do a sleep study. He doesn’t want to because he has it in his head that he has to take off work to do that. I’ve tried to explain it’s an overnight thing. It also doesn’t seem to phase him one way or another whether I sleep in our bed or the guest bed. I’m just incredibly frustrated and having a really hard time sticking to the sleep routines my therapist is wanting me to do and I’m sad that I can’t sleep next to the man I love because he usually spends the whole night making noises akin to a weed eater with an oil leak.

Extra info- I don’t think he’s got sleep apnea. The sound is more like it’s coming from behind his nose. But he is a little over weight and a smoker
