He/ she who snores...

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..

Better call Saul

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!!

shedweller · 19-05-2016 01:46AM

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.

We all know women only breathe heavily

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 · 19-05-2016 02:05AM

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 :-)

Mackman · 19-05-2016 06:27AM

Ever wake yourself up snoring? Freaks me out

Mint Sauce · 19-05-2016 06:38AM

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 · 19-05-2016 08:46AM

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

19-05-2016 08:52AM

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 · 19-05-2016 08:59AM

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!!!

gifted · 19-05-2016 09:52AM

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 · 19-05-2016 09:54AM

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 · 19-05-2016 10:14AM

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 · 19-05-2016 10:15AM

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 · 19-05-2016 10:19AM

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 · 19-05-2016 10:21AM

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:

I've been known to sing in my sleep

(Badly, I assume)
