Who SNORES Louder?
You?... or the person next to you in bed?

Unfortunately, in our house it's ME. Which I didn't believe until my partner actually RECORDED me snoring with a voice-activate micro-cassette recorder.

Funniest sounding thing I had ever heard. It only recorded WHILE I was actually snoring, then stopped recording when I exhaled. Soooo the playback was ONE (NEARLY NON-STOP) CONTINUOUS SNORE.

3. Me by far. Especially after a few drinks.
Sometimes my wife will end up sleeping downstairs to avoid the noise. But she snores too. Wonder what the neighbors think in the summer months.

9. I looked at the Breathe EZ page...
I'm glad it works for you, but I don't buy it. A device that holds the nose open will not keep my mouth shut. And the devices that I've bought that keep my mouth shut do not stop my snoring.

But thanks for the tip. :)

12. I saw that claim.
It doesn't keep my mouth shut.
But it does quiet my snoring.
A lot.
Miz t. wouldn't lie.

7. Not Me
Unless I have a cold...then, LOOK OUT!! I had bronchitis when my second child was born, the nurses had to move the poor lady in the bed next to me to a different room so she could get some sleep. Talk about embarassing!

10. Your partner has WAY too much time on his hands, Allen
If I did that to my girlfriend she'd (rightly) boot me out of the house.

I'm told I snore, though I've never heard the evidence. I've meant to look into that liquid spray that's supposed to lubricate the glottis, or whatever it is. But she talks in her sleep. When she asks me what she said, I make up all sorts of stuff to horrify her with. :evilgrin:

11. When my allergies kick in, they pick up my vibes at CalTech...
Last week, it was so loud I woke *myself* up! Seems to have tapered off now.

My poor wife is a champ for bearing with me. :hug:

13. How can a person purchase one of those CPAP thingys?
Does it have to be prescribed by your doctor?

14. I am the person next to me in bed
Apparently, we both snore. (This is according to a third party, my sister, who has stayed over in my apartment.) I should set up a recorder some time, it would be interesting...
