I will say that I don't normally snore (or only for a minute or two) but do have sleep apnea. The biggest difference I find with wearing my CPAP is that I don't clench my teeth at night (and then wake up with a headache). I didn't realize those were related but apparently they can be.

Our wings are not tired.

I use one of those mouth things for snoring, which works, and serves to keep me from grinding my teeth too. If I forget, which happens often, I wake with a sore throat which lets me know that I snored.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I guess I just have to accept that I snore like a wildebeest (in the words of a hospital roommate).

It doesn't seem possible, but Tim is totally cool with my snoring. When I went to Colorado for 10 days to help my brother, Tim texted me in the middle of the week to say "I miss your snoring. I find it comforting." Good thing, because I snore like a big fat old man who has swallowed a buzz saw. But no sleep apnea, AFAIK.

DH's snoring puts me to sleep if it is normal and rhythmic; if he is on his back and does the pause breathing thing I wake him up to change position. Zero chance of me getting him to do a sleep study.

I'm getting my hair cut this weekend. I keep thinking a Number 2 rake is the way to go, but I don't want to look like my MIL with her Marine hair cut.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Occasionally, if I fall asleep lying on my back, I'll snore loudly enough that I wake myself up.

That's me literally every time I sleep on my back. (Consequently, I don't sleep on my back, at least not on purpose. Sometimes I roll over onto my back and don't keep rolling to the other side, and soon enough, the buzz saw starts up.)

This usually happens if I fall asleep reading in bed ... I take it as a sign that I should put down the book, turn off the light and roll over on my side to sleep.

I try and put the Nook down and roll over once it has dropped in my lap 3 times. When I read real books that would result in my losing my place, so advantage Nook!

Ann, that's a ferret.

I have a device that keeps me from grinding my teeth at night. I don't know whether it does anything about the snoring.
