Clearly I wouldn't want to hurt his feelings or imply he is not wanted. He is! During the day he's a great leader and a good bloke to have around. 😀

Hmm. Thoughts and tips would be helpful, from snorers and not alike.

My father would never agree that he snored, so my mother got me to record him, and play it back to him the next day. A real windowrattler.

Ah hah! Maybe I can put my smart phone to some use at last. 🙂

Just push their beds/bunks outside so they can sleep under the stars,which i don`t think will fall out of the sky😀😀

Clothes pegs make great improvisers, so maybe get him to try one of these???😉

I think its time to "man up" site Admin. Horrendous snorers can ruin trips away for room mates. Make a joke of it to him and get him a proprietary mouth guard eg Snoreban for xmas. Your fellow compatriots will thank you and you will enjoy w/e a lot more. Unless he's extremely selfish he'll be ok with it. With acknowledgements to Clare Raynor

Tell him you have folded his pj's and put them under his pillow and got him a nice hot water bottle and will be round to tuck him in for the night.
Guaranteed he will stay awake until he knows you are asleep.🙂

I used to swear by a sharp jab in the ribs with my bony elbow 😋

PeteWarks: You can grow a pair of earplugs? 😀

PDPear Drop (Sarah)   on 16/12/14 @ 14:53

Pear Drop (Sarah): me too - worked every time.... Especially as it got a harder jab each time.
Site Admin: you need to ask Minty.... He knows how loud he snores, and slept in the outhouse at surrey hills 😀

As assistant Cub leader! can sympathize ? Stick him in the tent with the scouts ? they get no sleep and you have a restfull day🙂 problem solved ?

You really ought to tell him, he may not know. You forgot option f) sleep elsewhere yourself 😀

Thanks all. 🙂

Have bought this for Christmas - and will be giving it as a wrapped present to his missus, who I know often abandons the marital bed in the middle of the night.

A lot of snorers that use such devices report not only that their marriage has been saved, but they also wake up in the morning more refreshed. I wonder why more snorers don't spend a little cash testing these things?

Good call going through "the missus"

ahalpine hiker   on 17/12/14 @ 10:58

Just realise I have shot myself in the foot!

If loads of snorers read this thread and cure teir snoring more marriages will be saved and this site will lose business. Single snorers will suddenly become marriageable prospects and yet more business lost. Aaaagh! Ignore everything above. Snore as loudly as possible. 😋😀

We have a couple of snorers on the site, not mentioning names😈 One very kindly provided us with ear plugs the other takes a gargle. 😉😉

jopo (Jo): How about a new site competition; "guess the name of the snorer"

cocolinjoseph   on 20/12/14 @ 18:52

colinjoseph: He He. 😀 That would be funny but a bit cruel. I imagine bleary eyed sleepers hanging around the dorm in the dark with a recording device collecting 'entries'.

Hedgehog: Download an MP3 for free here:

Neet little video and a link to a free selection here. Just play them on your iPod in a loop, or create a play list with the same sound repeated on the list over and over to get a continuous play. I love the rain ones. Rain on a tent really puts me to sleep quickly. 🙂

Thanks but I'll stick with the ear plugs, when I'm not having to keep an ear open to see what my cubs are up to!

HeHedgehog   on 23/12/14 @ 6:32

Ok....As an od member who has inflicted his nocturnal nasal noise on fellow members for a good few years now.....let me first apologise for allllll those sleepless nights.

I must admit to feeling embarrassed and not a little ashamed at keeping some very good mates awake.

I've tried many possible solutions over the years....but to no avail !!!!!

I know people have tried being subtle in the past and put all us snorers in the same dorm....but that's only succeeded in having the whole building vibrate with our six part harmonies....

My solution now is going to be self imposed exile...When ever I can I'm going to fork out for a private room from now on.....

dadavem   on 24/12/14 @ 4:25

davem: How do you know it is you? You could have been framed, especially as you were asleep at the time!
😮zzzzzz

cocolinjoseph   on 24/12/14 @ 19:39

davem: lol don't worry about a thing as we all love you. The only person it upset was yourself when you snored yourself off the top bunk. Oh and John who was in the room below. It served him right because he got a room to himself 😀😀😀

UJUltreia (Jo & Alan)   on 27/12/14 @ 7:30

Ha ha.... Marry Christmas Jo.... I think an alternative is to drink less....hmmm.... ok I don't think that's going to be a goer....!
