In Sickness And In Health; Unless You Snore

​She told me that if he didn’t stop snoring, she was going to completely lose her shit. Like, completely. She didn’t want him to sleep in another room, but his snoring put her over the edge.

She was a happy mom who loved staying at home with the kids. But she was busy. Sometimes she didn’t sleep well because her mind was running a 1000 miles a minute.

And, the snoring.
​

She was a light sleeper. She always had one ear open to listen for the kids. The snoring was incredibly challenging for her.

Her husband was a great guy. But when she criticized him for things he couldn’t control (like snoring), he lost it on her. Of course, his outbursts made her mad, and around and around they went.

Doors slammed,
The kids cried,
They threatened divorce...

All over the snoring.

It’s amazing to me how often something as simple as sleep hygiene threatens to destroy perfectly good relationships.

Things got better for them when they realized that fighting only made things worse. An obvious thought, but not one we usually remember.
