[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (4 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) I sleep in the guest bedroom most of the time. My husband and kids all understand its just healthier that way. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (1 child) That is probably the best solution, but I'd hate it.

I sympathise with you regardless, a snoring partner is a difficult situation for both parties. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) CPAP? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (3 children) It's probably not apnea, it's probably allergies, because it's a lot worse right now and there's very little in the winter. She's tried breathe-right strips, but she says they're too uncomfortable. I also have a feeling that it would take me weeks to be able to easily fall and stay asleep with the sound of a CPAP machine, but maybe one day it will be necessary. I hope not. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I got the latest airsense cpap machine and it’s extremely quiet for whatever that’s worth. If I took a video of it running with my phone it wouldn’t pick up any noise. I hate the thing and haven’t been able to get use out of it but I was shocked how quiet it is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Good to know! Thanks! permalink fedilink source parent [–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago* (1 child) I didn't realize it was you I'm talking to. I'd trust that you and your partner have plenty of medical advice. Get some sleep, one way or another. Air purifier like the other said is a good idea though. Allergies are killer right now, at least around here. My car hasn't moved since Friday. It was silver then and it's green now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I try, thanks! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Do you have an air purifier running in your bedroom? I found running a small purifier with a hepa like filter did wonders for my wife's seasonal allergies. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) We don't and it's worth a try. Thanks! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kalpol@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) A big one like the Honeywell HEPA ones is also great. Filtering only, don't get the ionized ones. You can just replace the prefilters once a year or so (can vacuum them off to reuse once or twice) and the actual HEPA filter lasts a really long time. Claritin or whatever works and aerobic exercise daily also does major wonders. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Yeah, I've heard about the ionized ones and to stay away from them.
