Sharing a bed
I love the intimacy of sharing a bed with my partner, but there's no denying that we get on each others nerves. I'm a reasonably light sleeper, and he snores. I also toss and turn quite a lot and take a while to get to sleep, whereas he seems to be a sleep (and snoring, keeping me awake!) within minutes.
Are we both doomed to a life of broken sleep, or is there a solution? Any suggestion on how to get him to stop snoring or to help me get to sleep more quickly would be appreciated.

My parents used to have the same problem. My mom was a light sleeper and my dad moves around in his sleep. It came to the point where my dad usually slept in another room to keep my mom undisturbed. What they did was got a new matress (sp?). It was the NASA foam kind. It does work. They always get a good amount of sleep. Also your partner should see a doctor to try and work out the snoring problem. It may be allergies. Even if it's not he can still get a perscription for mediciane to stop snoring. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

He could see a doctor about the snoring, sometimes there are really easy treatments for it, over the counter stuff etc. And you could try a different night time routine. Relaxation stuff, like lavender oil, a bubble bath, reading, whatever relaxes you. Sometimes doing light exercise an hour or so before bed makes you sleep harder as well.

I have somewhat of the same problem, except it's the mattress and my partner tends to thrash in his sleep. If I go to be before him I usually have no problems, but since you are a light sleeper you might be woken when your partner gets into bed let alone when he gets to sleep.
There are some very good replies so far and worth looking into: a sleep study for both of you would be beneficial, breathe-right strips for him, getting to sleep before he does and the worse case scenario of sleeping in separate rooms.
You can also try things to make yourself more calm and relaxed before going to bed as well: chamomile tea, warm glass of milk, a warm lavender bath and, as jbdreamer suggested, a sleep mask or pillow filled with soothing, calming herbs.
Hopes this helps and hopes for you and your partner having a restful nights sleep.

If he snores an awful lot maybe he would benefit from a sleep study. He could have sleep apnea. If that's the case then his snoring would be cured for you.
Since I read and the light keeps my husband awake sometimes. So, since I am a night owl anyway he just goes to bed before I do. Once he's asleep the light doesn't bother him. Maybe you could go to sleep before he does. :)

Earplugs are always an option!
or you could go to bed before him
Or last resort you could always stick a sock in his mouth!
hope that helps!

Has he ever considered sleeping with a nose strip to prevent snoring? I don't know how well they work, but it's worth a try. Even a differnt kind of pillow can sometimes help prevent snoring. Otherwise, try ear plugs, lol.
Something I use to put me to sleep is an eye pillow. It is filled with herbs like lavendar, and you heat it in the microwave. It's very relaxing and always puts me to sleep.

How about you sleep somewhere else? Or you could tell him to quit snoring. I got that sme problem some times.
