My ex used to snore. When I was in my 20's, I slept like a rock. Never heard it. As the years went by, either she got worse or I slept more lightly. Even with earplugs, could hear her. I finally would get up in the middle of the night and would go sleep in the guest room. She hated that but hell, I had to sleep.

Sleep critical for both my mental health and weight loss/maintenance.

Gemme, have you tried ear plugs? The soft foam kind? They do help. Rockin, just type Overeaters Anonymous in your search engine. It should also give you a list of meetings in your area.

In eating, sleeping health and with hugs to all,

I have and they don't work. Either they come out during the night or the volume is just too loud or, one time, they did work and I didn't hear my alarm.

Oooopsie.

There are solutions that I could do (there's a headband kind of radio thing that would work as I could turn up the volume to compensate for Ebon's louder nights, but then I'd eventually go deaf I'm afraid) but I have to be able to hear my alarm and I always get up before Ebon and he doesn't hear my alarm, so that's not fair to put that on him.
