The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsGood lord! The cat and my husband are BOTH snoring!
It isn't just the stereo affect--they are alternating!!!! It's kinda like Dueling Banjos only slightly less melodic!
Unless I kick somebody out of bed I may have to move to the sofa if I want to get any sleep tonight!

If that's the case, it's hard not to be sympathetic...

(53,919 posts)If they are really snoring like you say, I would use it as a type of white noise. Focus on one, then the other...like a really weird metronome. Sometimes, if the sound is soft enough, I can use it to my advantage. If it is too loud, then ear plugs or the sofa. I have dogs and a cat that snore. So does my man...I do too on occasion.

(13,421 posts)I think everybody snores even if they won't admit it. Maybe not all the time, maybe not every night--but I think snoring is universal.
What amazes me is the duet nature of it! Cat. Man. Cat. Man. Cat. Man... They are riffing on each other!

(13,421 posts)The cat missed a beat when the man rolled over and shook the bed. Now they are synchronized.
Isn't insomnia a wonderful thing?

(53,339 posts)I sack in, looking for a solid 8 1/2 hours of sleep.
I wake up, thinking at least 4 or 5 hours have passed--and discover it's only been 2. I can't go back to sleep, so the only productive thing I can think of to do...is to log onto DU.
Is there a therapy app for that?

... threaten to play it for her little cat friends any time she got too much attitude.

MiddleFingerMomMom and MiddleFingerMomDad BOTH rattled windows in their sleep. One would wake up and
nudgepunch the other and inform them that they had been doing so and had, in the process, woken the
other up.
.
BOTH of them had the same response... "AHHHH... y'probly woke YERSELF up."
.
Which was sometimes true,
.
And neither EVER admitted that they themselves snored.
.
.
.
The ex-MsMFM told me that the onliest time I ever snored was when I had had voluminous quantities of
alcohol... and then it was a really light "cute" (her word) snore.

I imagine now that I've put on quite a few more years and pounds, I'm somewhat higher on the Richter scale.

(8,492 posts)...I'd occasionally go camping with the kid, his dad and our two pitties. All four of them snored. One of the pits HAD to sleep with her head on my pillow and her arm around my neck so I got the full effect of her snoring.
I used to pray for thunderstorms to drown out the noise.
