My 2 year old daughter, husband, and I have to travel to a baptism in a few weeks. I snore loudly due to a few medical conditions and am not able to control it. My daughter is unable to sleep in the same room as me because of the snoring. It keeps her up all night and then my husband and I are up all night. We have to stay in a hotel and there are no hotels with suites available. We're not in a situation to be able to afford 2 rooms either. I'm looking to see if I can find a campground with cabin rentals because that will offer more space (or even more than 1 room) and my daughter won't be so close to my snoring and may sleep but am not having much luck. It looks like we'll probably have to be in a hotel room. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting through this weekend well rested? She'll sleep through EVERYTHING else in the whole world BUT snoring!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

We made it through the weekend! Fortunately the bathroom was just barely big enough for her pack and play so we set it up in there and she slept like a champ! Thanks for the suggestions!

Only thing I can think of is trying a sound machine playing white noise. Have you ever tried that?

Perhaps there would be enough room in the hotel room for you to make her a bed on the floor as far away from you as possible, with the sound machine close to her.

Or you could sleep in the bathroom! haha kidding :)

We use a fan humidifier in my kids' rooms to block noise. If you have one, it might be worth the small inconvenience of bringing it, or borrowing one from a friend.

Bring a fan or noise machine. Give her ear plugs. Have her go to sleep before you (so maybe she'll sleep more soundly). Or you may have to bit the bullet and sleep in the bathroom or car...(mostly kidding about this!).

Wow, I never knew a two year old that wouldnt sleep through a thunderstorm or earthquake.
Get some ear plugs for her maybe?

Have you been checked for sleep Apnea? If you have it they can prescribe you a cpap machine at night that would help you stop snoring and breath better
