Yeah, I wake and then my husband will be snoring and will keep me awake. I'm mostly deaf in one ear so can lay on my "good" ear and that helps with outside sounds but if I have nose or throat or some other sounds going, it's heck getting back to sleep. I can't sleep on my back either, mostly have to do my left side. My husband mostly does his right side so that can be unpleasant as we're face-to-face so any "sighs" or whatever sends his less-than-pleasant nighttime breath my way :-) He has a special pillow for his right arm too so takes up 2/3rds of the bed and we're both large. He tried to explain to me the other night why he gets more than half the bed. . .
