Snorers--you know who you are. I am one, unfortunately. What do you do when you stay in a dorm? Warn your roomies and remind them to use their earplugs? Get those strips? Get a single room instead? Say, "Screw them; I sleep just fine?"

And non-snorers, how do you deal with those who snore? Ever resort to throwing random items within arm's reach?


I know we snorers can be an annoyance in the dorm setting, but we gotta sleep somewhere!

I have given up. I used to hand out earplugs to everyone, but now I just pay for a private room.

As a non-snorer, I always appreciate a "heads up."

It's not snoring...it's deep nasal breathing

Then what do you call the audible release of extraneous posterior gas?

I've been in the Army. After sharing a dorm with 40 blokes, you'll happily ignore any snorers and farters and night-talkers, etc.

I warn them, but the crazy thing is that those who complain about the snorers the most are usually themselves snorers. Go figure.

I also appreciate the heads up - then I can get out the earplugs while the lights are still on instead of rummaging around for them in the dark.

Ooops! Did I do that?

I roll my eyes but just try to get some sleep...LoL.

I actually talk in my sleep sometimes...which can be a little embarrassing, depending on what I say... Suspicious

But so far I haven't done it in a Hostel..*touch wood* LoL

I can't. One of the deal-breakers for me in a relationship. Smile

And also the reason why I rather have a room to myself. *can't* *stand* *snorers* and no, I so do not snore. Talk in my sleep, sometimes.

Better to be a snorer than a shnorrer.

I got hit with a pillow once because I forgot to unset my alarm (and its banshee scream from hell) and it went off at an ungodly hour... oops.

I don't snore, except very rarely if I have a plugged nose, in which case I sleep face down. Passing out earplugs would at least make the snorer forgivable to me. The first time I forgot to pack my earplugs was the last time I forgot...
