Another Cockeyed Blessing...


For as long as I can remember, we've had a snoring problem in this house...and as we're getting older, it's getting worse!    Some nights, it's subtle and occasional...other nights, loud and constant.  The noises sometime cause me to head to the couch with my pillow and blanket, in tow. Now I'm not saying that hubby's the only culprit.  I may be guilty, too.  I can't say for sure, because if I'm snoring, I'm sleeping - no way of knowing...

It's gotten to the point that I decided to look into snoring's causes and possible remedies.

I have learned that "snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound, due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. In some cases,  the sound may be soft, but in other cases, it can be loud and unpleasant." YA THINK?  "Snoring is known to cause sleep deprivation to snorers and those around them, as well as daytime drowsiness, irritability, lack of focus and decreased libido."  REALLY?

They offer up all kinds of reasons -none of which sound pleasant or fun -except the part about alcohol consumption, being a possible cause.  And remedies?  Think we'll pass on the machines and surgeries. It's not THAT bad.

I guess if I have no other complaints about life with hubby, I sure am fortunate.  I think the only thing worse than hearing him snore would be NOT hearing him snore.    Snoring...another cockeyed blessing...who knew?
