I am tired of waking up EVERY single night and moving to the guest bedroom. This daily interruption of sleep has really taken a toll of me physically and emotionally. I am a full time stay at home mom/part time student so I am up early with my toddler and am busy with the household and my academic responsibilities. Sleep is crucial to my daily functioning and losing sleep every night is really affecting me in a negative way. I am at my wits end with this and do not know what to do! I already spoke to him and we have tried over the counter treatments (nose strips etc) so I suggested the operation to lessen the snoring and he refuses to do it saying I should wear ear plugs. The problem is that I can still hear him through the earplugs and I need to be able to clearly hear the baby monitor for our daughter. We are engaged to be married but if this continues, I truly believe sleep deprivation will ruin our marriage. Anyone had this issue with their spouse? Suggestions? Please only serious answers.
Sathya..we tried me going to bed earlier but he is so loud and I am such a light sleeper that he wakes me up out of a sound sleep with his snoring in the middle of the night.
I know he needs to see a doctor but he outright refuses to.

He should see a doctor, he could have sleep apnea. My husband was a terrible snorer, although it never really bothered me. But I knew it was possibly bad for his health, and he finally went to do a sleep study and then to an ear, nose, and throat doctor. He is now wearing a mask for the sleep apnea and doesn’t snore at all. He is also going to hopefully have surgery at some point for his deviated septum.

I can’t imagine sleep deprivation actually ruining a marriage, and I’m sure if your toddler was crying, you’d hear her no matter what. The bigger issue is him not caring that it bothers you.
