i was always a snorer. i get it from my dad. i never thought i was that bad, but when i had light-sleeping roommates, they complained to no end about my snoring. i know i've slept with people who were far worse than me. but even when i was in the nut ward for a week, my roommate hated my snoring and actually slept in an empty room one night to avoid me. i also think my snoring is worse when i take my sleeping meds, because it's a far deeper sleep.

i worry all the time that my snoring is going to piss someone off or make people hate me. i once had someone i could have had a relationship with tell me that we could never be lovers because he couldn't stand my snoring. last night, i fell asleep listening to an internet radio show and my sister (who shares a loft above me) fell asleep on the couch. i wonder if it was the volume on my laptop that did it, but i'm pretty certain it was my snoring (because she sleeps with her radio on a lot). i actually don't even like my sister, but i don't want people to be affected by my actions... because i don't really like them anyway.

there are probably no magical cures for snoring, are there? i don't think those breathright strips would do anything for me because i'm more of a throat-snorer rather than a nose-snorer.

this has been a source of stress for me for awhile now. i don't want people to hate me for something i can't help, and it seems like they do.
