One of the prime reasons single people are envied is that they have the entire bed to themselves (bliss!) and they are less likely to sleep hearing the sound of a monster truck gone bad.
Snoring is a menace. But some light sleepers like me find it difficult to sleep with this kind of noise pollution kicking my REM cycle in the backside.
The types of snores varying from:
The turbo motor low guttural sound of an engine that is stalling.
The Snort
The weirdly musical eerie sing song Klingon
The Whistle - My own personal nightmare.
My college roommate who in ordinary circumstances did not know how to whistle, suddenly became the regional whistling champ at night.
I had to take drastic measures. What measures you may ask, here you go.
- The "unintentional kick" - Everybody thinks I have a sleep kicking problem. It is a rumor that has saved me from potential assault charges when I've kicked people sleeping next to me.
*Some shameless people just turn over and continue to snore. *
The loud phone ring - Oops I forgot to put my phone on mute and had a heavy metal song as my ring tone.
Take a pillow and hover over the snorer's head (Don’t kill them, there are more snorers in prison) and put it gently under their head. Repeat this 8 times until there's a pillow fort near their upper body.
Put on white noise and headphones.
