Snoring and Marriage
poignant observation about the effects of snoring on a marriage:
"Marriage changes passion. Suddenly you’re in bed with a relative.
I can’t remember who thought this saying up, but I’m sure it was a woman who was lying awake while her spouse snored loudly beside her.
This is not 1973, I remind myself. This is not some hotel in Chatham. You are not on your family’s annual vacation to the Cape, and this is not your sister lying next to you in the same bed, hogging all the blankets, breathing on you and periodically slamming her leg against the mattress so hard the entire bed shakes. No, this is your husband—the man you love, the man you voluntarily chose to spend the next one hundred years sleeping beside, which right now, at three in the morning, seems like a very bad choice, but what did you know? Who can predict these things? He slept like a dead person (and so did you) until your early thirties, at which point you stopped sleeping and he started driving his pigs to market in the middle of the night."

My wife had a hard time getting used to the quitness of the cpap. She siad she enjoyed my snoring, it let her know I was there with her.

One of the biggest excuses for a sleep study is that married couples are being driven into seperate bedrooms.

My wife adjusted to my snoring, it's when I started whacking her during arousal events that things got rough. :-) Now we are pals again.

My husband is loving my CPAP. He teased me once or twice about "sleeping with Darth Vader", but he also says he is sleeping better, he likes the quiet, he can't hear my machine, and he's glad I'm getting my treatment.

My hubby has commented how much easier I am to sleep with.
Now if I could just get HIM to do something about HIS snoring!!!! He snores like a freight train and tosses and turns.
