Your previous question made it seem the problem is your partner's snoring. Now it is apparent that other persons' snoring triggers some sort of psychological reaction. Indeed, it probably is "in your head", but that doesn't make it inappropriate mean anything bad about you. Probably it can be treated, perhaps with behavioral therapy. Contact a psychologist or ask your PCP for a referral. Good luck
