can you sleep when someone's snoring?

I can't really sleep if someone is snoring. I am happy that my boyfriend doesn't snore. I easily wake up if there is a noise. I even woke up when I felt the earthquake at 3am last April 21. Most people didn't feel it as they were sleeping.

It's a big NO! The sound of snore is very irritating. But when I was younger I can't sleep without the TV or radio. I'm so scared of silence.

Our house was this small thing before I turned twelve, which means I had to sleep in close proximity with my whole family from when I was born till that age. My father has a sinus problem. It's problematic because he stops breathing for seconds of a time and there's always the threat that he'll just... stop breathing.

Of course, to a kid who had to sleep near a father who snores LIKE A FOGHORN, the only thing I had been paying attention to was that it was SO NOISY!

Anyway, years and years of this situation has given me super powers and I can sleep no matter how noisy it is.:P Well, as long as the place I'm sleeping on is comfortable. That's my weak point.:D

usually,yes.most of my family snores,so it's no big deal i'm used to it.
the only time it bothered me was when my grandmother visited.she was extremely loud
when she got going.

If i was very tired at that time, I can fall asleep in a short time, even though there's some noise.But when the snoring is very loud, I will jump up and be crazy!

Yes, I can sleep when someone is snoring. I can also sleep during earth quake, with lights on, and with somebody talking loud in the next room. I have heard that women complaning that their husbands snore and it affects the sleep.

I believe that snoring is not something that can be controlled by the person. It happens in absence of cociousness and nobody has control on it. So, we don't have the right to blame other person for snoring.

i believe i am able to sleep.. if i am super tired and i need all the rest i can have.. so there's really not much time to actually feel the presence of an annoying snore. hehe

Hi there.

I remember my sister-in-law in your topic. One time we had a visitor in my in-laws house, my husband teases her sister, coz he said that the visitor will sleep in my sister-in-laws room. The visitor was their cousin and it is known to have loud snoring noise when sleeping. My sister-in-law said that when she is the first one to sleep and didn't wake up at all it is okay, but when her cousin was able to first sleep than her, she will be awake the whole night because of the loud snoring. My husband gave my sister-in-law earplugs just in case she can't sleep.

As for me, at first when I heard my husband snoring I make it a point to wake him and said that he is snoring and after that I fell asleep again. But sometimes my husband said that I too is snoring. Maybe I didn't realize it because I love sleeping a lot.
My husband said that I have a deep sleep when we are sleeping.

Yes, I can sleep even if somebody is snoring, but my sleep is not straight and I find myself staring the ceiling of the bedroom oftentimes.

Hi oyenkai, I can sleep with television and radio on the whole night. I can't go into sleep if hearing the snoring.

I find my roommate usually would snore after she has fallen asleep after quite some time. I’m awakened easily by her loud snoring in the middle of the night. Oh gosh! I could hardly fall asleep again if my roommate keeps on snoring the whole night.

I will wake her up to stop her from snoring aloud. I then could fall asleep again.

Happy posting
