<p>tomk- im a very light sleeper, but im also the type of person that cant function without 7-8 hours a sleep per night. if i lived with a very heavy snorer and we couldnt find a way to adjust/compromise, it would become a medical problem for me because i get sick if i have too many sleepless nights.
i wouldnt expect a roommate to blast their stereo while i was trying to sleep, and i dont think its rude to ask to work together to appease the situation.</p>
<p>But what would you expect a snorer to do? There's nothing that can be done really, short of surgery.</p>
<p>jesus, you're dense.</p>
<p>huskem outlined like 10 things man! 10!</p>
<p>poor thing cant sleep, are you kidding me. Since college started i dont thinkive ever had a 7 hours of sleep a night. 5 is even a longshot.</p>
<p>The blasting of the radio is somthing that can be stopped, what can he/she do to stop snoring.</p>
<p>I would never be able to sleep with a snorer. Whenever I'm in a hotel with my dad I end up awake all night. I usually have no problem sleeping, but I can't stand snoring.</p>
<p>Have either of you ever been camping?</p>
<p>A recommendation I have is a sound machine, it will smother the the snoring nd give you peaceful sounds,</p>
<p>i got a white noise machine, it kicks ass, i highly recommend them if you have trouble sleeping from snoring or outside crap</p>
<p>I love the waterfall, I sleep with it everynight</p>
<p>Heheh, I don't snore but I have dream talk when I am asleep. Nobody told me until recently my sister informed me about that. Such occurence is not very frequent, so no need to worry. :)</p>
<p>On the other hand, my brother some time snores. Guess what method I used to stop the sound? I would lightly slap his face several time, roll him over around until I can sense that his snoring sound has calmed down a bit. I keep adjusting his body until the sound stops. I would then immediately jump to the bed and try to get myself into a sweet dream. I know that the time is only temporary. Of course the best method is to get away from that person as far as possible.</p>
<p>after being married for 20 years, you don't get used to it...i ppinch his nose, close his mouth, jiggle his head...</p>
<p>snorers have NO IDEA how loud they can be, and how frustrating it can be to live with that</p>
<p>yes there are things a snorer can do...many snorers snore more when they have been drinking</p>
<p>I snore. </p>
<p>My roommate had to deal. You will too.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'll second the call that you can't get over. In fact, a snoring roomate is one of my fears, especially if they are a good roomate! I shared a room with my sister for my elementary years and I had to fall asleep first or I was doomed. Good thing she is six years older. I still go over my sister's apartment every so often and she still gets to me!</p>
<p>why not just complain to the RA or someone and they can change room for you?</p>
<p>i just incessantly poke people until they stop...usually they wake up and look over at me, but i pretend that i'm asleep so they don't get angry at me</p>
<p>My dad snores extremely loudly, or at least he used to, until he started wearing one of those snore guard things at night--worked like a charm, though they're expensive I think.</p>
<p>I've always found the lie one ear on your hand, put a pillow on the other side method works well. Though it's painful in the morning if you don't roll when you sleep and are like that the entire night.</p>
<p>I'm the type of person that can fall asleep even when there's a big racket going on...but let me tell you this. Snoring is the one thing that I absolutely cannot fall asleep hearing - it's not just a matter of noise to me. It's quite possibly one of the most annoying sounds I can imagine, the kind of sound that just goes straight to my brain and tortures me to no end.</p>
<p>If my roommate ends up being a snorer, my only option will probably be to either fall asleep first every night or buy some really comfortable headphones so i can blast my ipod into my ears.</p>
<p>i won't have to deal with having a roommate but just wanted to say this. if you do in fact get a roommate that snores loudly do not blast music into your ears. next thing you know you're going to go death.</p>
<p>this article is a year old but it still talks about hearing loss when blasting music. so my advice is don't do it.</p>
<p>I'd rather go deaf than insane</p>
<p>after years of being able to hear and then going death i think you'll probably find that you'll go insane from going death. i've had to deal with ppl that snore heavily but what I do is simply tired myself out. Go to sleep sooo late that by the time I go to sleep I'm gonna be knocked out cold, then he'll get up early and I won't have to hear him anymore, and viola you get some hours of him not sleeping.</p>
<p>I'm being admittedly flippant about it - trust me I don't want to be going deaf lol. I didn't literally mean I'd be blasting music in my ears, but a decent volume that doesn't abuse the eardrum is usually enough to drown out the snoring. Even hearing a little teeny bit of the snoring will drive me insane. It doesn't make a difference how loud it is, that's how much the sound gets to me.</p>
