<p>So I've seen so many threads, questions, blogs, etc about how to deal with HAVING a snoring roommate, but how do you deal with BEING the snoring roommate? I've heard so many times that I snore like crazy, I just sent an email to my parents asking them about them and they said, "Not that much, but when you do it could be disturbing. I think you snore more when you are extremely tired."</p>
<p>I REALLY don't want to cause any problems. The snoring strips work for people with congestion, which isn't really my problem. I was thinking about getting an anti snoring pillow but it costs $80!! Of which I have not (yoda grammar)</p>
<p>So any advice?</p>
<p>Warn your roommate (as soon as you can) and be extra nice to them. If it gets really bad, they might need earplugs (and you should probably offer to split that cost halvesies if they’re not cheap). But you could also get a deep sleeper as a roommate. My roommate last semester sleep-talked and I only woke up once or twice.</p>
<p>Well I am not sure how your snoring sounds and what it is caused by but the snoring strips might help if they are designed to keep your nose as open as possible while you are sleeping. I think you should shop around because some are designed specifically for just keeping your nasal passage open and not necessarily reducing congestion from mucus or something of that sort.</p>
<p>The other thing I would say is to sleep on your side instead of your back or front, that tends to help some people and if you do continue to sleep on your back, use a lot of pillows to keep your head up so nothing falls back while you’re sleeping.</p>
<p>Other than that, I would say google some more tips and tricks. My roommate didn’t snore so I haven’t had to deal with it but I know it usually takes time for a lot of people to get used to it and then they just accept it and learn to fall asleep even with the noise. Just stay positive about it and don’t let it consume you.</p>
