If your partner tells you that you snore, maybe you don’t think it’s a big deal. Well, maybe it’s not. It might just be the kind of minor annoyance that sometimes surfaces, sometimes leads to a bit of noise in the house at night.
Maybe that’s the case.
On the other hand, maybe it’s a little more serious than that. Maybe, just maybe, your family is tiptoeing around the subject, laughing about it together. Here’s an example of what the experience can be like for a family, as captured by Amy Armstrong of Illinois. We don’t tend to link to things much on here, but this is a very good example of the kind of thing which the families of snorers have to put up with. And thanks to Amy and the magic of Youtube, her husband’s snoring has now been captured forever:
This reminds me very much of a time I lived in a shared house with a gentleman who was a very loud snorer. His was the bedroom above the living room, and a lot of nights, I would be sat up late watching a film or something on TV, and generally in those situations I keeping people up with the noise I was making.
Of course, living with this guy, I knew that I didn’t have to worry. I could hear the evidence that he was still fast asleep, loud and rasping through the floorboards. It was funny, really, but it was also, I’m guessing, a little embarrassing for him. I remember one time friends of mine were round, and actually heard him snoring away at night. No-one said anything to him afterwards, but I’m willing to bet that he’d rather not have been a source of fun. He did, eventually, do something about it.
Coincidentally, a few months later, he started going out with a very attractive girl. I’m not linking the fact that he finally did something about his snoring directly to that event, but I’m sure the fact that he wasn’t audible through walls certainly helped matters! What’s more, once that issue was sorted out, it maybe helped him to gain some confidence.
If you’re that guy, snoring away, then maybe you should think about looking into a Snoring Aid. Before you end up on Youtube, too.
