snoring?
| 
Mar 3 21:33 UTC 2006 |
I heard on NPR (Ira Flato, Science Friday, Talk of the Nation) that
some 60-70 million people have their sleep affected by snoring.
I didn't have time to listen to most of his show, but while I was
listening, the host suggested asking a dinner group about snoring, and
see what comes of it. He figured one person would hesitantly say
something, then eventually there'd be a flood of responses.
Grex is not a dinner group, but it seems like an interesting discussion
topic.
Do you snore, or are you affected by anyone who does?

My ex-wife used to snore. I presume she still does. Many times, she
woke me up from a sound sleep, and either she or I wound up on the
couch.

I snore. It is worse when I have allergies or when I go to sleep drunk.
Other people's snoring seldom bothers me. The dog of mine who died in
November snored really loudly and I kind of found it comforting. I
actually couldnt sleep for the first few nights after she died because
it was too quiet. The other dogs snore too but not as badly.

I don't snore, but that's only because I'm a superhero. :(

I snore when I'm congested, and my hubby snores sometimes. Sometimes it
wakes me up- sometimes his snoring wakes HIM up. :) Every once any
awhile one of us will head to the couch because of the other's snoring
(though that's usually because sleep is hard to come by that night for
other reasons).
I used to get all embarassed, "I don't snore!" but what's the point?

I snore. I had sleep apnea til 2002 when I got the turbinate redux,
septoplasty, and tonsilectomy and prior to 2002 snored VERY VERY LOUD.
Now, I just kinda snore like a human instead of a bear.
My wife is used to my snoring and darned if we're not all snuggly and stuff
when we sleep, too. Getting the surgery was the best thing in the world I
ever did besides deactivating that nuke when Jack Bauer couldn't figure it
out.

Items 148 and 150 are related. Diet and sleep are two of he biggest
things effecting our mental and physical health. I did some research in
sleep disorders for a child psychology course in college. I found quite
a few cases where children with behavioural problems were treated like
medical patients (instead of bad kids who needed to be spanked), and it
was found they had sleep disorders. After adenotonsillectomies all
around, their behaviors changed literally overnight.

Right, conclude that diet and sleep are the biggest factors when it comes to
health because you took a psychology class GEARED TO CHILDREN when you were
in college.

God, how funny that you wrote this. Normally, I don't have a problem
with my husband's snoring, but every once in a while I do, and last
night i did! When he get's on his back he'll start snoring and wakes
me up. I just push him over, but had to do it like 4 times last
night.
I only snore when I have a cold.
