Maggy, you've brought to mind the time that I thought my OH had drilled through his leg. He was upstairs drilling holes in circuit board for his latest electronic wizardry when i heard the most godawful wailing. I ran up the stairs as quick as I could, expecting to see him writhing in agony on the floor.
I was really cross to find he was sitting there with headphones on, singing!

My collie used to sleep by my bed and would bark and bark if she heard anything in the night.

Luckily I managed to hear her as she was about to bark on this particular summer night but it took me some time to work out what the strange noise was that she had heard.

Being summer,the windows were all wide open and the man next door,as his wife had told me he did,was singing in his sleep.

Lol Maggy, sounds like my OH!!

janey surely that would make the bed wobble, if you put a 2x4 under legs,
i did think you were gona say over his head

mine snores geeze like he doesnt believe,
if i shout his name he sits up in bed with his hands up like hes stopin traffic, shouting, "wot, wot day is it wots the time,who told you that, oh never mind "

Julie Ann -- nope, you put it under both legs at the head -- using a single 2x4 makes it more secure, one leg less likely to slip off. You could use a 2x8 for good measure, so no chance of slipping off. ;)

With a four-legged thing, as long as two legs next to each other are the ones propped up, no wobble problem. It's if two opposite legs are out of kilter to the others that you have a problem. Like tables in cheap restaurants.

We should all try an experiment. Everybody get a length of 2x4 (or 2x8) and put it under the head of the bed. First, see whether he notices ... Then see how the next few nights are!

Probably not a cure for real sleep apnea. I pointed out to No.2 that he undoubtedly had that, and he said yes, so he'd been told. It wasn't just the snoring, it was the moaning and yelping that finally made me decide he was probably better off awake. Good choice, if an hour and a half too late. He slept relatively silently after that.

I keep meaning to say ... if Maggie has an old claw-foot bathtub like mine are, she could test it with a 2x4 under the head of the bathtub. ;)

roflmao at these stories.

Maggy, I feel the same, time to take some of his own medicine!

I don't know if I could maneouvre a piece of wood under the bedhead end as there is a wardrobe one side and a chest of drawers the other, will have to look in the garage and see if there is a piece of wood and see what I can do.

He went to a local sleep clinic when we first met as I had such a problem sleeping when he snored, and they told him to go away and lose weight so his neck was thinner, lol. Instead he managed to add weight and ended up with an even thicker neck.

Whenever I book us a place to stay on holiday, it always has to have two bedrooms, is my only escape lol

I have to be honest and say, when my son and I were on the plane last year to Malta, I dozed off - it had been a long day! We were sitting with the aisle between us and I suddenly woke up, and noticed my son was laughing. I whispered to him Was that me? and he nodded. I was so embarrassed and hoped no one else heard my snort of a snore lol
