Hi, I'm Tom, and I'm a snorer...

Category Vacation

Hi, Tom!

I've heard rumors that I snore.  I'm sure being overweight doesn't help matters.  And when I'm *really* tired (like after 24+ hours of no sleep after something like, say, a red-eye flight from Portland to Miami), I've been told I can be wall-shaking.  My wife is used to it and just adapts or tells me to roll over.  But when you're in a single hotel room with kids, it's a different story.  

During yesterday's nap, Ian was talking about trying to put the Breathe-Right strip on me early.  And I'm told that there were plots to assassinate me in my sleep last night by the kids.  The nose strips apparently aren't as effective as we'd like them to be.

Both kids are thrilled that we have separate rooms on the cruise.

Joe, now's the time to make sure you either 1) pack your earplugs, or 2) look into alternative room arrangements for Lotusphere.  :-)

The fan will go on a table between the beds so there's a bit of a buffer. If it gets really REALLY bad I can always drive an hour and sleep in my OWN bed ...so no worries

Enjoy the cruise dude

I was suffocating in my sleep every night and my snoring had gotten to the point where my wife and I had to sleep in separate rooms.

Of course, I could fall asleep in front of the computer, watching tv, reading, driving (yes- in stop and go traffic I would cat-nap during the stops- feel safe, now?). It was terrible.

It's worth checking out- you may not have it that bad, but if you do have it, you'll be amazed at the difference a cpap will make.

Gravatar Image3 - If they're not exaggerating when they say that it is sometimes "wall-shaking", you might want to talk to your physician about doing a sleep study to determine whether your snoring is due to obstructive sleep apnea.
