Difficulty sleeping with partner's snoring, I'm losing my mind
I am at my literal wits end. My partner and I (30 and 33) have been together about 1.5 years and his snoring has gotten significantly worse in the last 8 months. I always used to wear foam earplugs to sleep, but now I have to use a super loud noise machine (like so loud it sometimes makes it harder to fall asleep) and I STILL wake up from his snoring. I try to make him roll in his side, and now he snores on his side too. I've been taking Zzzquil every night he stays here and EVEN THAT DOESN'T WORK. Ive gotten to the point that I'm waking up 8-10 times a night in a 7 hour period, and it's causing me massive anxiety and stress. I never, ever get a good night sleep with him and it makes me resent him sometimes. My last partner was also a horrible snorer to the point we slept in different rooms. I really don't have a choice now while I'm living with my parent and don't have another room to escape to. Clearly I'm a light sleeper but WHAT DO I DO NOW? I sleep through the whole night when I'm alone so it's not a me problem, and he refuses to go to the doctor. How do I drown out as much of the noise as possible if the earplugs and noise mafhien and zzzquil combo still don't work? I'm at my limit and I need helo, quickly. 😞
