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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

he's in the army so he is covered under Tricare health insurance. Get your hubby to set up an appt for his snoring. He could have sleep apnea or some other health problem.

Okay, dumb one. Your husband could have lost his mind, better yet, his life, defending this country and you're gonna complain that he snores? Wow. Really? You ungrateful thing. I'm active duty military as well, and I am thoroughly offended that you want to post on FMyLife that your husband snores. And, it almost seems like you are poking fun at the fact that he DOESN'T have nightmares. That's some serious crap, woman. He gives his life for his country and you're gonna find something to find wrong with that. Damn. I can't believe that I signed a contract for YOU. No disrespect intended, I just think you should appreciate your husband's sacrifice a little bit more. Thanks.

Yeah, oh happy day, he's alive and home from "defending" your country, and that means she's gonna be okay with not sleeping at night? Fail...

Oh give her a break.... First of all its better that she complains on here a bit then complains to him and second everyone one on here has things that bug them when they have lots of other things they should be grateful for. She has the right to be bugged by it... doesn't mean she is a bad wife or not grateful he is back. I'm sure there is an adjustment period for any couple who has been away from each other that long. Oh and OP if you take their advice and he does need a CPAP make sure that you don't sit it on the floor near the dog... just read the fml that someone posted a little bit ago!

My husband snores a LOT (so do I) however I'd rather hear him snoring next to me in bed instead of in towel head country possibly getting his head blown off. Think about that. If he's overweight, losing weight may help with the snoring. Does he snore while on his side or chest? If not, roll him over that way. It could also be something with his nasal passages. Or it could be sleep apnea.
