About two years ago, when the snoring was an issue (before I’d figured out how to just roll him over to make it stop) Den bought some of those breathe-right strips. They didn’t work. So they sat, unused, in the bathroom cabinet. <\/p>\n
Last night was really quite pitiful, because it didn’t matter how many times I woke him up or how I rolled him over, he still kept right on snoring. (I finally gave up on sleep at around 5am.)<\/p>\n
Well Den found them today and decided to give them a try, given that his snoring has currently progressed far beyond snoring only when he’s on his back. He feels very stuffed up, so we figured it wouldn’t hurt to try. And I’ll be damned, but it’s helping a ton. He is still doing his normal snoring when on his back, but the new snoring-on-his-side is practically non-existant. I am so relieved!!<\/p>\n
Not that this fixes my sleeping problems. See I’m not supposed to be sleeping on my back anymore – which, by the way, is weird because I normally hate sleeping on my back and ever since I got pregnant I find myself waking up like that quite frequently. Weird. So anyways, I know the “optimum” position is on my left side. I like sleeping on my left side, to be honest. But… I have this issue. I have a MAJOR issue with being breathed on. And Den sleeps on my left. So if he happens to be facing my way? I can’t sleep on my left side, I have to sleep on my right. And sometimes that gets really annoying because I want to roll over!<\/p>\n
It’s possible that once I’m asleep it doesn’t matter and I can stay where I am… but I’m such a light sleeper I really wouldn’t be surprized if I rolled over every time he did during the night, even without really waking.<\/p>\n
Is it any wonder I find sleeping during the day more restful? Makes me wonder if I’m even going to be able to sleep well with a babe next to me. I don’t have an issue with the dog though, never have (I have slept with a dog next to me – yes, head on the pillow just like a human – since I was about 14 and I sized up to a double mattress from a twin). I guess we’ll just try it and hope for the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
