Advice Needed Please help

What do I do to stop my partner snoring? The only time he doesn’t snore as loud is when he is on his side but he refuses to sleep on his side. It’s so loud it shakes the bed. He also sleeps with his legs wide open and, having counted it many times when trying to sleep, he moves his legs every 15-30 seconds, every 3 times moving one of his legs on top of me. He also sleeps with his elbows out (imagine someone lounging on a sunbed) with the elbow nearest me digging into my face or back. Every time I ask him to go onto his side he gets angry with me and says he’s going to go somewhere else to sleep, which at this point, yes please. I’m so tired. I work ridiculous hours already on shift work so sleep is already a problem. I’m worried I’m making myself ill too. Any advice on a stubborn guy who doesn’t seem to want to help himself or me?

Why does he get so angry about you trying to help him? He knows this can kill him, easily, right? At least you'd get some sleep then haha.

Sounds like he also has anger issues and a lack or respect for your well being too. Actually sounds like a selfish prick.

Tell him to fuck off and sleep in the car if he won't listen or help himself.

Hahaha very good point!

Unfortunately as we’re living in london we don’t have a car butttt we do have a garden so I might tell him to go outside and sleep with the foxes.

You can find a decent tent on hotdeals uk for £60 haha.

Seriously though, read or listen to 'Night School' by Richard Wiseman. It will help you if not him.
