Today, my girlfriend snores like a lumberjack. Even when I leave to sleep on the couch, I can still hear her through the door. She won’t go to the doctor because, "snoring runs in her family and they’re all just fine." Yeah, uh huh. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I have to sleep in another room, with the door closed, because if I don't, my girlfriend's snoring will keep me awake. I was diagnosed with chronic insomnia because of this. FML
Today, my new girlfriend told me I don't snore when I sleep. Which is funny, since during the last year of my marriage, my ex-wife would make me sleep on the couch because my loud snoring kept her up. FML
Today, as I was taking care of my mom while my dad was at work, she fell asleep. This would be fine, except she has one of the worst cases of sleep apnea ever recorded. Her snores are so loud, they almost sound like gunshots. I can't leave her alone or block out the sound in case she stops breathing for too long. FML
Today, my mother is snoring so loud that I can still hear her with the door shut and with earplugs in. So much for sleep. FML
Today, I let my little sister sleep in my room because she had a nightmare. She is currently snoring like an overweight 40 year-old man with a cold. FML
Today, and like every day before it, my boyfriend’s snoring is keeping me up all night. FML
Today, I'm stuck with sleeping in the same room as my mother. The problem? Her snores are extremely loud and a full minute long. I'm not kidding, I timed it. FML
Today, I'm spending the night at my family’s house. I have to share a room with my two kids and their mother. The three of them snore like warthogs in a zoo. Desperate for sleep, I went to go sleep on the couch. The dog sleeping on the rug snores like an old truck. I’m never going to get any sleep. 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Earplugs or a very good noise canceling headset - Or a new girlfriend…

Tell her the hardships you're going through. Tell her it's impossible to sleep there as her snoring is keeping you awake, that you can't even sleep on the couch because her snoring is so loud, and that you're worried about the long term effects on her health. Ask her to see a doctor for treatment; if she refuses, you don't sleep over anymore/get your own place until she does. If she still won't, you're better off without someone with that level of selfishness and disregard for personal health and the physical toll it will have on you.

Too bad she's that unconcerned about her health. I don't think forcing an ultimatum is a good idea if you're truly in it for the long haul, but try talking to her again. When my dad was diagnosed with sleep apnea, ho was told he worked harder trying to get one night's sleep than he did his 40 hour factory job. Have you noticed if she ever stops breathing when she's sleeping?

sleep apnea is very serious it will give you enlarged heart valves that leak.

Snoring often means she has a breathing problem like sleep apnea. Chances are she's getting really low quality sleep if she's that bad.

honestly you should invest in an adjustable base to go under your mattress, lift the head 3-4 inches at night

Snoring like mad throughout the night can be a symptom of mild sleep apnea, I believe. While sleep apnea is generally not life-threatening, it can easily cause the quality of your sleep to be less than adequate, which in turn can lead to slightly lower cognitive function, or at least mental stress over time. This occurs due to your body fighting to get the air it needs throughout the night. People with moderate-severe sleep apnea may even "wake up" multiple times throughout the night as their tongue covers their throat and they lose the ability to breathe until their body wakes up enough to cough it out of the covering of their throats. Most any small change you can make to improve the quality of your sleep is a change you should make, including a trip to the doctor's. Disclaimer: Not a doctor, but have had loads of medical classes towards nursing, and have improved my own sleep with great effect. Hopefully this was at least interesting, have a good one!

She probably has sleep apnea, tell her to go to sleep clinic and get a CPAP machine; it will stop her from snoring, sure you will have to listen to the machine at night but it's not as bad as the snoring and tell her it can be life threatening and you want to spend as much time with her as possible
