Today, I realized for the last year that my husband has been home from Iraq, I haven't gotten more than a few hours of sleep at night. Not because he gets nightmares, but because he now snores so loud that the pets sleep at the other end of the house to get rest. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, and for the past four years, the only time my husband stops snoring while asleep is so that he can fart. FML
Today, after a very poor night's sleep, I've had to stay awake and do housework while my husband, who slept like a baby last night, keeps on sleeping because he "didn't sleep well." He was snoring all night long, the reason I didn't sleep well. FML
Today, my fiancé, my two-year-old, and my dog are all sleeping peacefully next to me in our new king-sized memory foam bed. It's 2:15 in the morning. Why am I not sleeping? Because they all snore, one right after the other. It's like an endless song of snoring. FML
Today, my cat has made a habit of waking me and my husband up every morning by meowing in front of our bedroom door until we get up. This morning, I finally got her to stop, so I went back to bed hoping to sleep in for a while… Only to be kept awake by my husband’s snoring. FML
Today, my husband sent me a short video of my snoring last night because I wanted to hear how bad I sound. The first few seconds went by OK, but for the rest of the clip I could barely hear anything else over the sound of my husband taking a long piss in our bathroom. FML
Today, between my cats scratching every surface they can find, my boyfriend's snoring, and the dog barking at every slight noise outside, I'm unlikely to ever get more than 3 hours of sleep at a time. FML
Today, after struggling for hours to fall asleep with my husband's rather rattling snoring, I finally managed to drop off… only to be rudely awakened an hour later by my husband elbowing me in the face in his sleep. FML
Today, after months of living with my roommate's horrific snoring, I looked over to see her sleeping quietly. Elated that I might actually get a full night of rest for once, I went to bed. Just as my eyelids began to droop, she started making vile hissing sounds. Yes, hissing. FML
Today, after barely sleeping all week, I tried some ASMR videos to help me fall asleep. Both my dogs and my husband are out cold, snoring so loud I can't even hear the ASMR. FML
Today, it's 2am. I've been trying to get to sleep for the past two hours next to my snoring boyfriend. Every time I nudge him to shut him up, his body tenses, he farts, then goes straight back to snoring. FML

What a bummer for you. It's not like he could have been killed in Iraq or anything.

Sleeping together is never easy.

He may be suffering from sleep apnea. you should consult a doctor on this.

Be glad all your husband does is snore! My husband (three time Iraq vet,soon Afghan vet) has nightmare every night, from having to watch his friends burn to death in a humvee! And that's just the nice things I can say on here, wouldn't want to know what else he has to deal with! (and yes he has seen a DR and been to therapy)

Earplugs, have you heard of them?

a lot of guys come back with ear, nose, throat and respiratory problems. my husband did on his second tour, he never snored and now apparently he does (haven't seen him yet) and he has asthma now. He's not the only one like this and neither is your husband. Be thankful that's all he came back with and get him checked out by the dr

Exactly. Whatever happened to being grateful that he's okay?

He could have post traumatic stress disorder and wake up screaming every hour in the night, and your life is ****** because he snores? Consider yourself lucky since a lot of soldiers don't have the luxury of getting through a night's sleep. Jeeze buy him some nasal strips or some throat spray. Problem solved. No big deal. Plus you'll probably get used to it eventually anyway.

you didn't have to put he came from Iraq because people shouldn't know that and get some ear plugs
