He/ she who snores...

Keane2baMused

Seriously. Foghorn wouldn't even cover it.

Losing.My.Mind.

Does anyone else have to suffer it?

Or are you in fact the foghorn? Do you wake up with weird bruises on your arm? Have you been turned on your side and shoved to the edge of the bed? Is your throat a little dry and scratchy in the morning? Is your wife / husband speaking about the divorce rate in Ireland more frequently..

The wife barks at me to turn over and i dont even remember it. Usually.

And men wonder why women can be crabby??

I may have shouted a little, ok I shouted. But to be fair that was after many, many nudges,followed by shoves and rolls etc

Not that it makes any difference!!

Oh my good wife can snore with the best of them! Tells me to feck off when i tell her to turn over though. Hmm....

The joys of not sharing a bed

In a hostel dorm as I type. Multiple snorers. Seems to be a definite correlation between mass and volume.

Was in a dorm myself last week with a snorer, spent about an hour trying to get the courage to bash him and tell him to roll over.

I don't know how snorers sleep through their own snoring

I must admit that I'm a big snorer. I'm currently single!:o

LightsStillOn

Have ended a relationship due to snoring in the past, when it's so loud that I have to use headphones downstairs if they are asleep upstairs it's too much. Sleeping next to that sound just isn't possible!!

You should look for a snoree :-)

Ever wake yourself up snoring? Freaks me out

Mint Sauce

Been told I snore, wasn't a major complant though. Apparently a wee nudge, or told to roll over, and I stop without a recollection of it.

Same here, It does my head in and I just can't sleep with it. fair play to those who can. My oul lad could wake the dead and I dunno how my mother suffered it for so long. From what I've seen two things tend influence it; maleness and fatness. The latter seems to make sleeping on your side uncomfortable(?) so they roll onto their backs and the night song kicks off.

My morning coffee you bastard!! :pac:


Yeah there's definitely a correlation between mass and volume alright. My wife is relieved I'm an insomniac some nights because when I do sleep, apparently it's about the same level of decibels as a jumbo jet taking off (she recorded me one night and yeah, it's pretty impressive alright :pac:).

As Wibbs said, can't do sleeping on my sides, always on my back. Someone snoring though is probably the mild end of the spectrum of bed sharing annoyances I've experienced anyway - sleep apnoea, she almost had me driven demented every time she'd stop breathing!

And then there was my mate who when she slept over, I used have to sleep on my front because... well I couldn't sleep on my side, and she was an absolute cracker which I didn't want to be making too obvious!! :pac: But she had the most bizarre thing of asking me could she sleep on my back, "No you can't, go to sleep!", and while I'm lying there on my front, during the night she'd actually be asleep, and would still climb up on my back. I couldn't move because I'd wake her, but four fcuking hours of a constant erection and trapped so I couldn't sort myself out? Viagra wouldn't be as painful ffs!!

Drunkeness seems to lead to a significant volume increase also!

hairyprincess

Apparently I am a snorer. The other half has recorded me a few times, I think it's hilarious, him not so much!

Fatness makes it less comfortable to sleep on my back than side. Though I generally fall asleep and wake up on my front. People find sleeping face-down weird.

shar01

My snoring has been described as akin to an elephant farting. The amount of alcohol consumed does increase the volume. Mostly it's like a kitten purring. Mostly.

One of my friends snores awfully and I've described it as "like two chainsaws mating".

Until one night on holiday in Corfu I passed out from having drunk too much and snored "like THREE chainsaws mating" ... she and her husband even recorded an audio clip to play back the next day!!!

I snore heavily ( apparently ) ....I just tell herself that a day will come when she wishes I was snoring next to her...always guilts her lol lol

Penny Tration

I used to snore so loudly that my boyfriend couldn't sleep Since I quit smoking, I stopped snoring.

I toss and turn a LOT when I'm in my own bed alone, though. I wake up with cuts and bruises frequently :pac:


Apparently I do it in bed with himself too, but he throws an arm around me and I stop throwing myself against the bloody wall then

Keane2baMused

It's good to know I'm not alone Although the snorers of the thread, tut tut how do ye sleep at night?

He finally shut it at 3.30 am. Looked so restful when he woke this morning bless his cotton socks!!!

I would definitely have thought side sleeping was better for those with excess weight, interesting to hear of the back sleepers who have a belly

Keane2baMused

Actually he went through a phase for a couple of days of punching my arm and back when 'in his sleep' (not too hard to leave a mark )

I'm sensing a theme here...

mud

I snore. I can't help it.

If you're staying in a hostel why on earth would you not go equipped with earplugs? There's a big chance that someone will be snoring.

I like to call it sleeping out loud or enthusiastic sleeping

elaney

My husband snores most nights im used to it now. Last night he snored that loud he woke the dogs which in turn woke the kids.
Spent half an hour trying to get the kids back to sleep. Ended up sleeping in this morning only had 20 minutes to get them to school :mad:

Yep, it's been a deal-breaker in the past. My husband only snores if he has a cold or something, but it bothers me so much I have to go sleep on the couch. Nails on a blackboard.

My husband snores when he is awake ffs. Well he will be asleep for about two seconds and it starts and I'll just calmly and quietly say "your snoring" and he answers straight away and defiantly says "no I wasnt". I'll say "I just heard you" and then he'l say "wasn't me, sure I'm awake"!!!

He tends to snore when he is very tired like if he was doing a lot of overtime or physical work that day so I try not to complain about it too much but it is one of the most irritating sounds when you are trying to go asleep.

Little CuChulainn

If the snoring is very loud it' likely a case of obstructive sleep apnea. Can be fatal if not addressed. There are a number of fixes depending on the severity.

In the first phase of sleep the sleeper can retain full awareness while also being asleep.

Is your OH possibly leading a double life?? He sounds exactly like mine, he falls 'asleep' sitting up and snores for seconds and swears blind he wasn't asleep.

He was almost drooling on his laptop the other night he was so out for the count and I walked into the kitchen and he bolted up and pretended like he was wide awake. I asked him did he have a nice nap, he said huh? I didn't go asleep

Ha ha no, no double life Keane. He's just at a stage in his career where he has to put a lot of work in.

Doesn't matter how tired he is though, he can still keep up with me in that department! He knows where his priorities lie

jigglypuffstuff

You know, has anyone ever tried covering the persons mouth???...with an absorbant material?? Say something like the eye covers people wear before bed...maybe thicker though

I ask because.. I'm guessing, one of the reasons it becomes so loud is when the mouth is open...there is a hollow area that allows the sound to become louder....if said sound was absorbed by some material... Wouldn't it reduce said sound??

Totally open to correction on this, just guessing

Ditto here, he tells me the end justifies them means and I will thank him for keeping me awake at night when it's all done

Haha good man

SarahMollie

I think in all honestly, both myself and my OH snore. Only I'm very calm about it, put it down to one of those things, but he's very sensitive.

Ended up having a middle of the night wobbler about it only just last week. He kept waking me up every time I'd just drifted off to sleep (maybe 4am at this point) He'd also gone into the spare room at one point and subsequently came back "because the bed wasn't as nice" and then told me I should go because I was snoring. I told him to take a run and jump.

He also snores but doesn't really believe that he does. He actually woke me up with his snoring just last night. I just let it pass.

Some people are awfully precious!

Until someone has a hit out on them for snoring and keeping you awake all night, every night of course.

Apparently I'm chronic lately so maybe I should watch my back :eek:

Wouldn't mind, but himself sleeps with earplugs and is also capable of selective deafness during the day when it suits him.

LOL!

I think if you are at all a poor or light sleeper it can actually really effect a person!

I have insomnia, and also two kids so any little sleep I can get is precious Himself could sleep through an atomic bomb, and then go back to sleep once he knows we're grand

Yep, that's me. Using a CPAP machine for the last 12 years.

Before that I was like a chainsaw until I stopped breathing (apnoea) for a few seconds, then back to chainsaw mode.

This was measured at 60 times per hour.

I shared a hotel room with my brother last weekend. Never again. I'm suprised I didn't murder him, the hack out of him when he's asleep.
I had a skinful, nomally nothing would wake me, he did. The bast*rd.

CarrickMcJoe

I snored for years, like a fog horn, waking everyone in the house then had a heart attack, a couple of stents later and have not snored since.....honestly.

Was at the doctor only this week about it. Constantly tired even though passed out unconscious for 6-8hrs a night. Been told for years by multiple people that I snore badly, and girlfriend is sick of it... often have to move to separate beds during the night. Doctor checked my nose, said air passage is quite narrow (I find it hard to breathe through my nose even while awake), possible deviated septum. Going to refer me to an ENT doctor and a sleep doctor guy. He said he hopes we'll find ways around it rather than CPAP (like cutting my septum and sorting air passages out, sounds awful!)

So to those of you giving out about us snorers, it's no picnic being us either

I snore only when I'm sick. If I start to snore, you just know I'm going to be whinging for the next week or so with man flu.

Himself snores if he hasn't enough pillows and he's on his back, but not enough to complain about
