Anyone else out there who shares a bed with a noisy partner? Any advice/ideas would be awesome.
As of now, I always end up leaving his place and going home in the middle of the night b/c I cannot fall asleep. Which makes him feel really bad (understandable, b/c it's not something that he can control)...and then I also feel bad for making him feel bad and I'm tired from not getting any sleep.
He's tried several things to keep from snoring (breathing strips, running a humidifier, sleeping in different positions...) and I've tried to just get used to it, but so far no luck. It's weird b/c I've always been able to fall asleep easily in noisy environments. I lived in dorms for 3 years and had no problem falling asleep while my roommates were having parties or watching TV with the lights on, or our neighbors were having band practice, or construction was going on outside...snoring is the only noisy thing in the world that I just can't deal with.
Now we're talking about getting an apartment together, but neither of us like the idea of sleeping in separate bedrooms.Anyone with a similar problem? How did you make it work?
I've pretty much accepted that he can't change this, so any ideas that might help me get used to it and/or tune out the noise would be so much appreciated.
(Edited to add: besides earplugs. I've tried that, and I have no idea how anyone can fall asleep with foam stuck in their ears.)
