    Go visit a doctor, preferably an "Ear, Nose and Throat" specialist.
    It's possible that there are things that can be done.

    Schnorring, now theres a problem...

    
    
    When I was about 10 years old I had my adnoid removed.  This 
    is usually removed if you sound like you talk through your
    nose.  It also eliminates LOUD snoring.

    My father wears wax earplugs at night and sleeps quite soundly.
    I'm sure my mother's not the type to seek any kind of "fix" for
    her snoring (it's a combination of physical problems that cause
    it).
    
    However, she has to nudge him awake when his alarm goes off.

    Unfortunately, removing my ex-husband's adnoid didn't minimize his
    snoring any.  It still sounded like I was sleeping next to a grizzly
    bear.

    I AM IN HUDSON AT HLO1

    My brother has been staying overnight for a few days while
    my husband is out of town.  He is sleeping in my son's (4
    months) room.  I sleep upstairs and usually have the baby
    monitor for Sam, but I haven't since my brother has been
    here.  
    
    Anyway, Sam has been waking up crying for the past few nights.
    he hasn't done this in months. Each time I go down to him, Paul 
    is up with him already.  Well, last night I left the monitor on, 
    and MY GOD does Paul snorr!  he has been waking Sam up!  
    
    Needless to say, Sam will sleep with me upstairs tonight.

    Snoring men have been a big problem in my life, too.  It seems to
    be some sort of fate that I am destined to only live with men who
    snore.  It's a nighmare to be tossing and turning at 3 a.m., knowing
    you have to be up by 6 a.m. for work, and hearing that continuous
    irritating snore in your ear.  My ex, also, used to snore on his
    stomach.  We got into many fights over his snoring.  I would jab
    him in the ribs until he would finally wake up in a rage.  *sigh*
    Re .0, it's nice that you're at least concerned about the problem.
     That's unusual in it's self.  Many snorers seem to take a "Tough
    Shit" attitude about their snoring.

	Hears a realted story we look back on now and laugh about...

    When we first got married, (11 yrs ago.) we moved to this great
    apartment in Shirley.  The previous occupants only lived there for
    about 2 months, and abruplty left. 
    
    We didn't know why, and at the time, were not concerned.  The  building
    was new, the landlords were wonderfull people, the apartments were
    situated off a real quite country road in Shirley, and the nieghboors
    were all great..... all seemed just hunky-dory..
    
    Nice, quite, clean, country living... PERFECT !!!
    
    Well, after a week or so, the guy accorss the hall, whom I had not
    met yet as he was in the service, and off on some or other kind of 
    duty, had returned.  He and his SO came over to introduce himself,
    I did the nieghborly thing, asked them in offered beers, etc.. nice
    enuff guy, and his wife was a charming person... 
    
    Well later on that evening (I remember this distinctly..) about 9:30 or
    so, we were watchin T.V. 

    I eventually noticed this rumbling sound comming from what appeared to
    be the wall...  I asked Deb if she'd heard it, she said, "now that you
    mention it... what is it ?"  I turned the T.V. down, and from accross
    the room I could hear something that sounded, well, like snorring.....
    As I got closer to the where we were sitting, it was unmistakeable. 
    
    The guy next door was snooring up a blizzard, *   (sawing wood, what
    ever you call,) and he was doing it in olympic fashion.. (like none
    other...) We looked at each other and started to laugh, but at the
    time we wern't thinking ahead.....

    (Damn it was loud enuff for me to hear this while in Our own aparment,
    through the walls of at least two rooms, with the T.V. on.  


    so after about another week or so, we determined that we finnaly knew
    what drove the former tenants out.  Sometimes the snorring got so
    loud that it vibrated pictures hanging on our bedroom wall, (which
    was adjacent to theirs.)

        I'll say one thing for him. He snorred religously!!! Everynight,,
    all night..... I was goin crazy, I think I actually wanted to kill him..
    preferably while he was sleeping
    
    The only relief we finnaly got was moving our furniture around and
    actually put up a few sound baffles on that wall.  Still heard it though..
    
    Man, THAT guy can snoor...  If there was ever awards to be handed
    out, he takes all of them, hands down...

    So you guys who think you got bad, take a ride to Shirley Mass
    somenight, around about 10 pm.  Stop the car, oh about anywhere 
    near the town line, turn your radio off, and listen for a minute..
    
    Hear that ?  It's not a wild animal, It's not the train, and 
    it's actually nothign to fear at all...

        It's just Albert..

    {I often wondered if Gloria, his wife, was deaf, or just immune...}

    RE: .11
    		"Many snorers take the 'Tough Sh*t' attitude"
    
    What would you have them do?  A snorer cannot control his snoring
    any easier than an asthmatic can control his breathing.  If there
    was a cure for snoring, and the snorer refused to use it, then there
    would be a case to complain.  But unless medical science has had
    a recent breakthrough, tolerance should be in order.

       In Europe, there's an anti-snoring product called Noron that's
       available without a prescription.  It's a spray-type thing, used
       very much like a nasal decongestant.  It works for some, but
       certainly not all, snorers.
       
       There is an operation that will, as a side-effect, reduce snoring
       in many instances.  Most responsible physicians/surgeons will
       recommend against the operation, because of the risks involved
       (anesthesia, etc.)

    	Just a humorous short story.
    
    When my son was about 2-1/2 - 3 years, he told us his throat hurt
    and like any parent my wife got the flashlight and started to look
    down his throat. She came after me white as a sheet and told me
    to look down his throat. I told her to call the doctor immediately.
    The doctor told us to come to her office right away. After examing
    our son she began to giggle a bit, and said " Kenny has a very large
    eppigoltis, strange that it can be so easily seen, but I assure
    you that he's not growing a second tongue."

    I seem to recall reading that wearing a neck brace will reduce
    or eliminate snoring. Something about the angle of the neck
    altering air passage.
