A doctor told Carl that it "might" help, but you are the second person to tell me that it is NOT worth it, especially since it is not a sure fire cure. Sometimes he is loud, but often it is like fucking Chinese water torture. just loud enough to interrupt my sleep pattern and keep me from going back to sleep but not so loud as to actually wake him up - which has happened before.
Isn't the CPAP loud? Wouldn't that also keep the wife awake?
We are happy with the separate beds routine for the most part, but I kind of miss having someone there in the middle of the night. it hasn't affected the sex life - he just gets up and goes to his bed once the magic has happened. We are looking to move to a new bigger house next year (our current one is TOO SMALL for two kids and their crap) and I am hoping we can find another similar suite arrangement.
The CPAP makes noise, but it's about the level of a small fan or air cleaner. Kind of like a quiet Darth Vader. Actually, lowering the noise for the wife was just a bonus. The CPAP fixed my apnea, which had gotten so bad I was walking around like a zombie all the time.
If your husband sleeps well and just snores then I wouldn't worry about it. If he sits at his desk and nods off during the day or has a hard time staying awake when he's driving, then I'd check it out.
