Over the past month or so, my husband won't sleep with me anymore. He says my minor snoring has turned into this deep bronchial snoring. The worst is I thrash and kick and hit him in his sleep. He says he can't take it anymore. He sleeps on the couch. I don't remember any of this. Any ideas?

A very lonely,
Dee

Buy two twin beds...separate them to sleep and combine them for...

They even have pads and such for combining...

Also, who said that sex had to take place in the bed...there are plenty of other places...so go with twin beds and save the sex for some "unique" locations...

I go for the twin bed ideal..... I have even suggested to my husband due to my RA and His Arthritis - it just hard to sleep together when we both need our own space when the pain hits, which is almost always any more.

And... think about it - this way we know when the other is the mood, for they will come to the others bed. He won't sleep with me anymore

But then again if your problem is snoring - then it might not work unless the beds are in separate rooms.... I have gone thru this with my husband for twenty years and I use to have to wake him up just so I could get to sleep - he finally opted for nasal surgery two years ago (after every thing under the sun was tried) and now his snoring is mild to only happening every once in a while.

BTW - those nasal strips that go over the outside of the nose really do work - try them.

mybestkids2, have you consulted your doctor on your snoring and sleep problems? I would take that as a first step. Sometimes snoring is a symptom of an underlying problem such as apnea. Weight gain can also increase snoring. Sometimes there are medical solutions to snoring that your doctor can recommend. Good luck.

Yes, I agree with sunrise. Sleep disorders can be serious things. It's best to get things checked out. For example, sleep apnea causes one to stop breathing during sleep. I have a relative with this, and there are treatments available.

have you tryed the nasal breath right strips you place across the tip of your nose, nostril to nostril to open the nasal passages wider whilst you sleep they proport to help stop snoring to some degree and in lighter cases alledge to eliminate it completely?

just a thought

I agree with mellors.....sometimes our nasal passages are clogged and need a bit of help. Thrashing could come from the not breathing part. It could also be a sign of sleep apnea, and you should indeed have it checked out by a doctor. They can also tell you if you are having issues with polyps that grow inside the nasal cavetey and hinder breathing also. Could be a number of different things.

Wishing you luck!

Hugsss

Yeah, I think it's sleep apnea, too. But then you'll have to wear that thing on your face when you sleep-as long as you can breathe though, that's what's important.
He won't sleep with me anymore Sorry Hubby is sleeping in another room. Must be lonely.
(((((((hugs!!))))))))) He won't sleep with me anymore

I feel for you, Mybest!
I am a very light sleeper and could never get a good night's sleep with my exhusband who snored, often going to the guest bedroom to sleep. I agree with others here that you should consult a physician.
