Today I went to my sleep therapist; I sleep 8 hours a night, but I'm still very tired during the day. I'm divorced, so we decided that I would record myself sleeping to see if I might be snoring. We listened to the tape. Not only was I snoring very loudly, I cry all night in my sleep. FM

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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, I woke up at 3 a.m. because my wife was snoring loudly enough to wake me up. I went off to the guest room to try to get back to sleep. Eventually I fell back asleep. Then I had a dream that my wife was snoring loudly enough to wake me up. It woke me up. FML
Today, while I was telling my therapist all of my inner conflicts, he fell asleep. 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, 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, as suggested by the my therapist, I tried practicing mindfulness meditation while on a break at work to reduce stress. Midway through my deep breaths, I accidentally let out a loud and unexpected snore. My coworkers now think I've taken my relaxation techniques to a whole new level. FML
Today, after countless nights of no sleep and only some spontaneous naps, I was finally seeing a sleeping doctor to analyze the problem. I missed the appointment because I ended up sleeping through my alarm after not being able to sleep at all last night. FML
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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm no dr but it sound like your subconsciously not happy in life( probably cause of the divorce) and your crying in the middle of the night so your using energy so even though your asleep your not getting into a deep sleep therefor you are still very tired. Try meditation or talking with a professional or a friend don't let your feeling bottle up. Feel better soon

I think he's aware of his unhappiness on a conscious level.

I know I was just stating my opinion base on what was written and I I think a good solution would be.

You need a busy and active life. Workout. Do efficient office work. Have sex. Have fun with friends. You will have better sleep.

It's hard to start an active life when you are exhausted from bad sleep. Of course, once you manage to be physically active during the day, sleep gets much better, but you have to have some energy to start with.

Maybe you've done this sense before the divorce. could have been a stresser. in all seriousness that's a horrible thing and my heart goes out to you. it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. I know people who scream swear words and throw stuff. could be worse. though not sadder
