    I am so jealous. I am lucky if I’m able to sleep until 6 am. The dogs sometimes wake me up at 4:30 and my wife snores like a sawmill.

        I’ve tried and I can’t fall asleep with them in. Believe me, I’ve tried every suggestion anyone has come up with.

        Part of the problem is that it’s really hard for me to fall back to sleep if something wakes me up.

          I sleep in the guest bedroom most of the time. My husband and kids all understand its just healthier that way.

          Silicone earplugs, that don’t enter the canal, solved this long-standing problem for me. I sympathise with you regardless, a snoring partner is a difficult situation for both parties.

          Oof. I used to be that way (and a light sleeper). White noise really helped keep me asleep, and got me to where I don’t need it anymore. I’m sorry that it didn’t work for you.

      Mouth tape. Explained how much snoring affected me and the missus started using it. Cheap, simple, and the snoring stopped inside a week.

      As for the dogs, stop rewarding then when they bark. Don’t feed em, let em out, whatever it is they’re wanting that they bark for that you keep doing. Sounds like they’ve trained you.

        With the dogs, it’s a light sleeper issue. If they start moving around, they wake me up and I can’t get back to sleep. And then I have to use the bathroom and I’m totally awake.
