How can resolve the disturbed sleep by partner's snoring?

[Anonymous]

So we've been together for over 4 years and he is snoring but not even once it bothered me until yesterday. All of a sudden I can't stand his snoring and I have trouble falling asleep. But I don't get it why it started bothering me just now. Is that normal? And what are some ways to resolve this?

When I slept at hotels or cruise cabins with my parents during vacations and we shared a room, their snoring never bothered me and they both snore.

Snoring when not infected is the result of breathing in dry air through the mouth because the nose is stuffed up. Humidify the air while keeping it cool, and unclog the nose, the snoring should stop once the throat is moist and the nose can breathe again, make sure he's not sleeping hot, as that will worsen it. If it doesn't stop after those changes, there might be some other problem going on that requires a doctor's advice, such as a sinus infection, or allergy for example.

have him checked for sleep apnea, loose weight, kick out on to the couch, a sleep divorce.
My wife was awful, and she wouldn't believe me how bad it was, and I even recorded it.
It took quite a while to convince her to have a sleep test done and she had really bad sleep apnea, way worse than I thought.
Long term it is really unhealthy for you, so he maybe should be checked.

You can have him see a doctor, and they can refer him to a specialist.


Or personally my partner and I sleep in separate rooms. We get way better sleeps that way. But I know that sleeping separately isn’t ideal for everyone.

Maybe you don’t care for him as much as you used to. Maybe it’s something to do w hormones that all of a sudden triggered that. Regardless maybe he has sleep apnea. He needs to get a sleep study done. Maybe wear a CPAP, otherwise it could shorten his life or lead to other medical issues.

These usually work.
