| My brother has been staying overnight for a few days while
my husband is out of town. He is sleeping in my son's (4
months) room. I sleep upstairs and usually have the baby
monitor for Sam, but I haven't since my brother has been
here.
Anyway, Sam has been waking up crying for the past few nights.
he hasn't done this in months. Each time I go down to him, Paul
is up with him already. Well, last night I left the monitor on,
and MY GOD does Paul snorr! he has been waking Sam up!
Needless to say, Sam will sleep with me upstairs tonight.

| Snoring men have been a big problem in my life, too. It seems to
be some sort of fate that I am destined to only live with men who
snore. It's a nighmare to be tossing and turning at 3 a.m., knowing
you have to be up by 6 a.m. for work, and hearing that continuous
irritating snore in your ear. My ex, also, used to snore on his
stomach. We got into many fights over his snoring. I would jab
him in the ribs until he would finally wake up in a rage. *sigh*
Re .0, it's nice that you're at least concerned about the problem.
That's unusual in it's self. Many snorers seem to take a "Tough
Shit" attitude about their snoring.

Hears a realted story we look back on now and laugh about...
When we first got married, (11 yrs ago.) we moved to this great
apartment in Shirley. The previous occupants only lived there for
about 2 months, and abruplty left.
We didn't know why, and at the time, were not concerned. The building
was new, the landlords were wonderfull people, the apartments were
situated off a real quite country road in Shirley, and the nieghboors
were all great..... all seemed just hunky-dory..
Nice, quite, clean, country living... PERFECT !!!
Well, after a week or so, the guy accorss the hall, whom I had not
met yet as he was in the service, and off on some or other kind of
duty, had returned. He and his SO came over to introduce himself,
I did the nieghborly thing, asked them in offered beers, etc.. nice
enuff guy, and his wife was a charming person...
Well later on that evening (I remember this distinctly..) about 9:30 or
so, we were watchin T.V.
I eventually noticed this rumbling sound comming from what appeared to
be the wall... I asked Deb if she'd heard it, she said, "now that you
mention it... what is it ?" I turned the T.V. down, and from accross
the room I could hear something that sounded, well, like snorring.....
As I got closer to the where we were sitting, it was unmistakeable.
The guy next door was snooring up a blizzard, * (sawing wood, what
ever you call,) and he was doing it in olympic fashion.. (like none
other...) We looked at each other and started to laugh, but at the
time we wern't thinking ahead.....
(Damn it was loud enuff for me to hear this while in Our own aparment,
through the walls of at least two rooms, with the T.V. on.
so after about another week or so, we determined that we finnaly knew
what drove the former tenants out. Sometimes the snorring got so
loud that it vibrated pictures hanging on our bedroom wall, (which
was adjacent to theirs.)
I'll say one thing for him. He snorred religously!!! Everynight,,
all night..... I was goin crazy, I think I actually wanted to kill him..
preferably while he was sleeping
The only relief we finnaly got was moving our furniture around and
actually put up a few sound baffles on that wall. Still heard it though..
Man, THAT guy can snoor... If there was ever awards to be handed
out, he takes all of them, hands down...
So you guys who think you got bad, take a ride to Shirley Mass
somenight, around about 10 pm. Stop the car, oh about anywhere
near the town line, turn your radio off, and listen for a minute..
Hear that ? It's not a wild animal, It's not the train, and
it's actually nothign to fear at all...
It's just Albert..
{I often wondered if Gloria, his wife, was deaf, or just immune...}

| In Europe, there's an anti-snoring product called Noron that's
available without a prescription. It's a spray-type thing, used
very much like a nasal decongestant. It works for some, but
certainly not all, snorers.
There is an operation that will, as a side-effect, reduce snoring
in many instances. Most responsible physicians/surgeons will
recommend against the operation, because of the risks involved
(anesthesia, etc.)
