Snoring, while sleeping, is an involuntary act but it makes life of the partner hell. It is, in fact, due to obstruction of air flow, in air passage, while inhaling and exhaling. In some family, it causes serious fights between the parners and sometimes matter results in divorce also. Fortunately for us, we two do not have this problem.
The unfortunate part is that the person who snores, does not know that he is snoring though he becomes disturbed when the partner starts snoring. Some snoring is so loud that as if some railway engine is passing in full speed. I came across one such person in the train. That gentleman destroyed the peace of all passangers and our request to railway-conductor for shifting him to some other berth, was of no use as no berth was vaccant.
But, is it not true that nature wants to tell us something? We commit mistakes which we never appreciate because our ego does not allow but we immediately point out mistakes of others. It is just like the fact that person who snores never knows that he is causing problems to his partner but starts fighting when he hears his partner snoring.

No, she doesn't but I've heard a lot of girls snoring recently - it's maybe because of unhealthy food and lifestyle.
I hope my girlfriend wouldn't snore in future cause I have some sleeping problems and this could cause more trouble in my fragile sleep.

Yes snoring really makes life of the partner hell. I have experienced snoring. Once I was traveling in a train. Night when everybody was sleep that person next to me began snoring. I used to push his leg with mine he used to become silent. Again after a while he used to begin. I was not able ot sleep whole night. I remeber that day. Are there any ways to traet snoring?

You had similar experience which I had confronted. Therefore, you know how horrible night it was for me when not only me but most of fellow passangers remained awake and the fellow was sleeping soundly. Yes, snoring can be cured. This is not a disease, it is some malfunction in nasal way where vibration is caused when we inhale or exhale..

hi udaymohan I am a widow but my roommate really does not snore, but I probably do. However as she is really deaf she cannot hear me so no
problem with us. Now our main problem is she is losing her memory and
literally does not remember what happen to her two hours ago. she is
ill now so is in the hospital. I fear that she is in the middle stages'of'alzheimer so doubt if she will be my roommate for long.Sadly
she is really losing her memory and her mind.why is it that people get so mad at a snorer then admit the snorer does not know he or she snores? In other words you are scolded for something you do not do voluntarily and wa not doin g to upset the mate. Instead of fighting for goodness try to help the snorer to get some medical help. I just do not understand the idea that the snorer is the bad person because he or she snores in their sleep.He or she cannot help it yet this person gets the guff.

Hatley,
Please call me Uday only as this is my first name. As regards, your room mate, I really feel sorry. She has faced enough. Alzheimer appears to be a common disease in US and other European Countries as, quite often, I have heard people suffering from it. It is not a common disease in India.
However, Hatley, how do you know that you snore. People who snore never knows about it. Snorer is not a bad person at all. He or she is just like one of us. As I had mentioned, snoring is always involuntary, The person does not know at all about his/her snoring.
As I had said God indirectly hints us through snoring that we should not charge a person if he or she is a snorer. Quite possible we also snore which we do not know. We never realize what mistakes we commit but we are on the frontline to make allegations on other.

You should not bother about it. Possibly, you also snore which he never cared to point out to you. Just for a change ask him whether you snore or not. But please do not start fighting if he say a big 'YES'.
Happy snoring.
