Snoring Roommates

How you handle snoring roomates if they snore?

Maybe a white noise machine might help. Or ear plugs.

My ex-wife use to give me her elbow, and she snored as well, but denied it.
Still, after doing a sleep study, I was found to have sleep apnea, which snoring is a symptom. If your roommate occasionally have pauses in their breathing, while asleep, you might suggest to them they see a sleep specialist. My ex-wife use to tell me that I sometimes stopped breathing when I slept, and also snored.

Then sometimes snoring is just a deviated septum or other sinus issues.

My wife bought me nasal strips. I do not recall if that helped or not. I was in my twenties. I was not diagnosed with sleep apnea until I was in my fifties. Sleep apnea is a little more series. If it is just plain annoying snoring, I agree with cecilfienkelstien.

If they do not believe they snore, that's another problem. Good luck Kitty4670

Sounds horrendous kitty

Is this why you was looking into getting ear defenders the other week

I used Bose earbuds Noise cancelling type, not the most comfortable if you turn your head completely on its side. But i have been known to move my head to the edge of the pillow nearest my shoulders . So I could do that without a discomfort. And still have the earbuds in . Had in the past often moved myself into the other room and slept on the Couch.

My partner snores. I have to have earplugs anyway because of the inconsiderate neighbours upstairs.

But sometimes earplugs don't always muffle the sound of his snoring. He doesn't sleep solidly all night anyway, and he's retired, so he often gets up in the night and watches TV for a bit, and I get to sleep then, usually around 4 in the morning. I don't start work til 4 in the afternoon so it's not like I have to be up early for work.
