Being on the other side of the pillow, snoring is a true nightmare for the partner. For years I was sleep-deprived, went so far as sleeping in other rooms. She finally went in for a sleep study and they couldn't believe she was still alive.
We still have the occasional "outburst" but she is SO much nicer these days, since she gets a few hours of rest each night. Since I do as well, I'm better able to sense and respond to outbursts in a calm fashion. The kids like their mom too.
