I guess technically, I am the one to leave the bedroom, as I am the one with insomnia and will wait till the early hours of morning before heading to bed. I have always been a night owl and it takes me forever to fall asleep. I have had friends tell me that my insomnia may be getting worse because I know I will not be able to sleep well because im2smrt4u snores, has sleep apnea and uses a C-PAP. The machine is supposed to help with his breathing and snoring. In his sleep study he stopped breathing over 60 times in an hour, so the machine is set to one of the highest settings. I thought this would mean I would actually be able to sleep with him again. No such luck. The air flow is so strong that it blows into his nose and the excess blows out his mouth, causing him to make a whooshing-whistling noise. ugh!
He snored lightly when we first got together, when we took naps it used to help lull me to sleep. I loved sleeping with him. Over the years it has gotten worse and worse to the point that I forced him into a sleep study since I was lying awake listing to him not breath. Scary! It is most definitely not a deal breaker, I love him and his sleep patterns are not his fault.
Good news! After years of relentless congestion they agreed to do a CT scan on his nasal cavity. They found he has a deviated septum. On top of this he has enlarged turbinates and his tonsils have been swollen to the size of walnuts for years now. After exhausting all other alternatives they have agreed to do surgery to fix all of this. Yay! I may actually be able to sleep and cuddle with my husband again. Wooo!
I think just simply due to my nature, I would be the one to sleep in a different room so long as it had just as nice of a bed and I could have my blankets and copious pillows. I am pretty easy going and would do anything I could to make my partner comfortable. I hope this up coming surgery will mean I will never have to make that decision though.
