Smart Feeder - Light sensor values

[Alis girls]

Yeah thats my worry - dont want Oh thinking his lucks in and I'm feeling frisky

[Valkyrie]

Ummmm - I have a headache - let meee sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

[Space Chick]

Both my parents snore badly, each claims not to snore they have separate rooms because of it and seem much happier like that. Honestly, you could hear them snoring down the street

 

We do that here

 

I talk in my sleep, sleep walk when I'm stressed, and snore (apparently ) and I am a very fidgetty sleeper

 

OH is a VERY light sleeper, so finds it impossible to sleep in the same bed as me Although, when we do share a room occasionally, he snores.... Very very loudly, so I have to make sure I'm asleep first. Then I sleep like the dead, and he wears earplugs for me

[The Dogmother]

The Boy (when he's here ) is a very unmanly sleeper; keeps himself to himself, no scratching of crotch, burping, snoring or talking in his sleep. He does hog the duvet though, and considering that i have a king sized duvet on a double bed takes some doing! Mind you, I am used to having it all to myself.

scratching of crotch

 

This has just made me really laugh! Why do blokes do that ....& find the need to 'adjust' in public!

 

Would a vapouriser / steamer treatment before bedtime work? Opening up the bronchials & nasal passages as well as relaxing. Or maybe aromatherapy.

Yikes! These blokes are really going to think there luck is in with an aromatherapy massage & a pinching of parts in the middle of the night!

What annoys me more than anything is when hubby finds the need to lie on his back with his knees bent - like he's ready for some exercise routine or to have his reflexes tested. Arrrgggh. It disturbs me, as the duvet gets pulled all sorts of ways & lets cold air in. I usually give them a bash & they go down. If it's not the knees in the air trick, it's the bottom over my half of the bed. He often sleeps like a flippin' foetus - just like one of those yukky alien egg toys! Shhh I didn't say that really.

I'm sure mine takes after his mother. We went on holiday to Spain a couple of times (glutton for punishment, me) and we were both kept awake all night by her. I swear she sucked in the walls and blew them back out again. In those days he didn't snore, but then he was as skinny as a rake. He's probably put on a couple of stone since then which is undoubtedly the cause. MIL says FIL snores and they both keep each other awake and now sleep separately. I am amazed that with all that noise they don't wake themselves up! Whereas I can hear a pin drop downstairs in the middle of the night (when I'm allowed some sleep).

I agree, I'm always surprised that certain sorts of unwanted lumps and bumps could possibly develop unnoticed!

Thought Claret was in our bedroom last night.

[Alis girls]

Which poses the question - why on earth are we married or living with these guys with their annoying habits - simple we love them - with their snoring, snorting, duvet hogging, crouch scratching, tackle adjusting, burping, passing wind etc. When I did nights many moons ago on a mans ward it was like being in a zoo - silent - far from it - the passing of gas used to have us in fits as in the wee hours when you are awake and they are asleep everything is amusing. Little things.... - I have been sniggering about this thread ever since it was aired.

[Valkyrie]

Because they lulled us into a false sense of security and then started doing the revolting things a few years down the married bliss line!

Oh and I didn't mean Claret was snoring - her chain saw! Cold feet on the back of his legs worked well.

[Alis girls]

Working in the NHS gives one a "gallows" sense of humour and anything slightly lavatorial or sick will set most of us off into pleats. I am sure Tiggy and Snowy who I am right in thinking are nurses would agree as would any police, ambulance crew etc. This thread has appealed to my sick sence of houmour - love it

[lillybettybabs]

I talk in my sleep,

I once spoke fluent french whilst asleep which is strange as my french is terrible.

I'm glad you explained that Valkyrie!

I'm another NHSee and I always find the men's bay on nightshifts far better than the ladies'... far more interesting noises and far less buzzers ringing for hourly bedpans!!

 

My OH used to snore terribly, in fact when we first met it *almost* put me off him for good... after the first frisson of passion faded, I was left with a trumping snoring heffalump, who smelled (gas aside) of an old brewery and also has that sleep apnoea. He wont wear the mask that the doc advised so instead just stopped breathing, then about 40 agonising seconds later would finally gulp in air like a whale after a seal with the cacophony of a bagpipe murderer.

 

Fortunately, he cut down on the beer (not as you might think after pressure from me, but because having kids and our own house now means we have no money for the pub!!) which both helped straight away with the snoring and also he has lost 4 stone. His new trim physique seems not to be prone to snoring on his side, so long as I kick him in the (still laughing at this word) goolies if he rolls onto his back to make him roll over again, I can sleep

 

Having kids solved my own snoring problem, now my body doesnt get into a deep enough sleep to even contemplate wasting its energy on flapping various bits of my internal nosepiping. With baby due in 2 days now too, I don't think snoring is something I need to worry about for at least another 5 years!!

[Tiggy]

yep lavatorial sence of humour def goes with an NHS job as for snoring OH can make the whole household rattle, we once stayed in a ski lodge with 2 other families & they put us in the basement room & then gave him an award at the end of the holiday for the loudest snorer they had ever hear, i think I deserve the award

[Mollie333]

I breath really heavy!

[sari]

I agree- I'm ex NHS and now work in Education...I am not squeamish and find humour in most situations. I once cared for a child with a brain tumour, and the excess fluid this produced, caused her eye to bulge horrifically...and well, I'll leave the rest to your imagination,, as I know some are sensitive. Mum gave me a special kit, with which to support said eye whilst the ambulance was called. Only once did I need to "deal" with this. phew.

 

MY OH snored horrendously last night, as we both have colds....of course I didn't...but him...he got the elbow, and the yelling...

[Valkyrie]

Hmmm - when we first got married he used to make peculiar huffling sounds which he said "helped him drop off to sleep". Well they didn't help me! Nothing more irritating that hufflewufflemugglewuffle breathe huffle . . .

I think Tom Good used to do it in The Good Life and I'm sure that's where he got the idea from - maybe not. But after a few months (of me complaining bitterly) he found reading sent him off quicker than huffling! He didn't snore then of course!

Sorry Claret - it was close, but I haven't been near you when you are snoring - or not!

[keyhole kate]

This thread has has me in stitches And there was me thinking I was all alone My OH does all of the mentioned nasties as well as the snoring He also does the breath holding then coughing and spluttering back to life routine nightly It drives me nuts How I have put up with this for 34 years is even beyond me
