How to survive a snoring partner?

One of the prime reasons single people are envied is that they have the entire bed to themselves (bliss!) and they are less likely to sleep hearing the sound of a monster truck gone bad.

Snoring is a menace. But some light sleepers like me find it difficult to sleep with this kind of noise pollution kicking my REM cycle in the backside.

The types of snores varying from:

1. The turbo motor low guttural sound of an engine that is stalling.

2. The Snort

3. The weirdly musical eerie sing song Klingon

4. The Whistle - My own personal nightmare.

My college roommate who in ordinary circumstances did not know how to whistle, suddenly became the regional whistling champ at night.

I had to take drastic measures. What measures you may ask, here you go.

1. The "unintentional kick" - Everybody thinks I have a sleep kicking problem. It is a rumor that has saved me from potential assault charges when I've kicked people sleeping next to me.

*Some shameless people just turn over and continue to snore. *

1. The loud phone ring - Oops I forgot to put my phone on mute and had a heavy metal song as my ring tone.

2. Take a pillow and hover over the snorer's head (Don’t kill them, there are more snorers in prison) and put it gently under their head. Repeat this 8 times until there's a pillow fort near their upper body.

3. Put on white noise and headphones.

4. Divorce or consciously uncouple and unconsciously sleep in different rooms
