Ranting again.
A common problem with women is that they snore. I'm not sure if men do, but I know that my wife does.
I've lightly shaken her, tapped on her, jerked the covers on her, flashed a flashlight briefly in her face, and in extreme episodes I've woken her up. I've even gotten up and slept on the couch a time or two.
Needless to say she tells me that
SHE does not snore! She hasn't said that after I recorded her.
I have a white noise machine but it doesn't to help much.
I have some ear plugs for high noise environments and put them in a few nights ago. When I woke up I wondered what was wrong. I didn't think that I'd slept more than half an hour. I was as wide awake as I was when I'd laid down! But it was now 6:00am!!!
I had slept the whole night thru and wasn't sleepy as usual.
I tried it the last two nights with the same results, wide awake in the morning. So far the only side effect is that I get hit by my wife when my alarm clock goes off.
