Snoring

 

Dear Mand,
 
I hope you can help me. I write this to you at 3.30am when
I am yet again awake from my husbands snoring!
 In addition to this, he grinds his teeth. He has a mouth
 guard which was made by the dentist to stop his teeth
from grinding away and it also stops the noise - but he 
won't  wear it - as  he says it's uncomfortable. So I was 
just searching  around for something  to put a stop to it as 
I am now VERY TIRED. Would you suggest a sharp implement 
or a blunt object?
 
Yours - very tired from the South
 
This is bad.
 
First try rolling him onto his side.  Then give a swift kick 
close  to his groin region. This stirs them enough to stop the
 snoring briefly. If you haven't fallen asleep before they start 
again then  you must get more  forceful. At this point, you 
pretend that you are asleep and shout "Get off me you
 pervert.  I don't want to! ” and very theatrically rollover to
 face him, flinging your arm  over his head as hard as you 
can.  This will definitely wake him up. Hopefully  with such
 shock  that he won't be able  to sleep for awhile afterwards. 
Thus giving you enough time to nod off. If he 'wakes' you in a 
temper then  you have a good excuse." Sorry  darling,  I had a 
terrible nightmare, thank you  for waking me.  It was awful!! 
'This requires some acting skills. Every  woman has  this ability 
especially  those who have faked an orgasm, so don't 
underestimate yourself. Now this  has set you up for a "restful" 
night.  If he still manages to get to sleep before you then you
 need to get serious. Still pretending to be asleep start 
 throwing yourself around the bed, tossing and turning,
 grunting and  groaning. If he still stays asleep  then take
 a pillow and put  it over his  face whilst holding it down with
 your heavy arm. At  this point  HOPEFULLY, he will  have had
 enough, got Up and had  a wee!,  cursed you all around the
 house and probably set up camp on the settee down stairs.
 Now leaving you with a lovely  big bed all to yourself and some 
fantastic sleep. However, you  must be prepared  for some 
'negative feedback' in the morning. So as soon as you get up, 
go downstairs and wake him whilst apologizing for causing him
 such a bad nights sleep. Explain about your terrible nightmare 
again.  Kiss his head and offer him the bed back.  (This will get
 him out of your hair downstairs, thus giving you more peace
 and your space back). How can he possibly get angry with you?
 You have been so sincere and apologetic. Even offering the
 bed back!! Continue this for several nights (Start worrying 
about these nights and suggest a trip to the Dr's) and soon he
 will find you as annoying as you find  him. But don't give in!! 
He will soon find alternative sleeping  arrangements.
 
Good luck. I hope it works for you as well as it works for me!
