How many of you gals out there have a man in your life that snores? I recently read that roughly HALF of all adult men snore, so I’m guessing that there are quite a few ladies out there who deal with a snorer, like I do.
Now, if you’re like me at all, there are some nights when you lay in bed and listen to the sound just wishing and waiting for him to roll over and for the snoring to stop so you can finally get to sleep!
I am aware that there are different noise levels when it comes to snoring, sometimes you can barely tell, sometimes it can be just loud enough to be annoying, and other times…well, let’s just say, it’s hard to sleep next to a freight train!! Most of the time, that is the level that I deal with at my house.
While this is not the most enduring quality of a sleeping partner, it certainly isn’t the worst thing ever, right? I’m not convinced of that just yet 😁.
Recently, however, I have decided something. It will definitely shock a couple of people when they read this, but that’s ok. I have decided that even though the sound of his snoring every night is equivalent (in my mind) to fingernails on a blackboard, there is something much worse, the sound of silence.
In the midst of all of the hours of missed sleep, all of the “honey, roll over, your snoring”, the thoughts of putting a pillow over his face in hopes of getting to sleep before it starts again, if the sound of snoring didn’t fill up my bedroom at night, that would mean that I would not have my best friend beside me, and that would be much worse than any amount of night time noise.
Once we step back and think about the alternatives, I guess snoring isn’t so bad. But that doesn’t mean it’s not still annoying 😉
