2. I go through spells of it. I have woken myself up snoring...
It's nothing to be ashamed of.

8. My ex always denied snoring... until I recorded her!
An old friend used to hit heroic decibels with his snoring. His wife was almost deaf. We often wondered if that was fortuitous for her or tragically caused by his snoring!

13. Snorers might want to have it checked out
Because if it's sleep apnea it could be dangerous plus you're denying yourself a decent night sleep.

14. Yeah, I think I do.
Sleeping in certain positions (my side) helps, but truth be told I'm a snorer.

I also :blush: am a drooler. :(

21. I don't know.
I've never shared a bed with anyone. I can't stand sleeping in the same bed with someone. I need my space, damnit! :hi:

22. I have to.
I have to do something to drown out the noise of the Tomcats wreaking aerial noise pollution over my hapless community.

But in some dreams I have, there is always some wise guy interrupting them with snoring. When I wake up, he always quits. One of these days I am going to catch him and when I do...

25. Once while on a camping trip
I was snoring away. My friends actually thought there was a bear in our campsite. Then they realized that it was me.

52. Nope, but there was a rumor
that the USGS had an minor reading on their richter scale.

I notice that you're a vet. When I was in the Marines they always put me on guard duty when the rest of the company wanted some rack time.

Maybe that's where I got the ears damaged, instead of VietNam.

27. Only if I'm sleeping on my back, which I generally don't do.
I sleep on my side, mostly.
I have a friend I advised to have it checked out. She stayed at my house one night and was in the guest room with the door closed, but I could hear her snoring. She's gained 100 pounds in about a year and a half, and I am concerned about a lot of her health problems. She can hardly walk anymore, and probably does have a heart condition by now.

42. Yes, she probably does need a checkup. :(
Snoring does seem to have a connection to weight in many people.

38. I do, but not as much as I used to
I've lost about 20 lbs in the last two months, and I don't think I snore as much because of it. However, I've been told that when I take a higher dose of my sleep meds that I do snore louder. Must be a deep sleep thing, I suppose. :D
