well we have to get back somehow now eh? i am accused of hogging covers, but more often than not...it's the dog! however, i defi nitely hog bed real estate, i like to be in the middle of the bed.

I should have said that it's a constant battle to hog the covers with us. Although, my wife loves to sleep in the middle of the bed too. So usually I wake up sometime in the middle of the night lying on my side about to be pushed off onto the floor. At that point, I move her over, steal the covers, and get more room for myself all in one smooth motion.

I'm an awful snorer. I've always been that way. I had the "SURGERY" two years ago because I was diagnosed with a deviated septum and sleep apnea.
The surgeon went in and un-deviated my septum (not sure what the actual procedure is called), removed my uvula- it was blocking my airway, and he also shortened my tongue (from the back-as it was blocking my airway as well).

Two years later........I still snore and still suffer from Sleep apnea. I just went on the MASK about 5 months ago and it's hell getting used to. I keep trying but it seems that i wake up about a million times with that thing on which is just as a bad as NOT sleeping. Not helping my ZOMBIE like-ness during the day at all.

After I had the surgery, the first time I spent the night at my sisters house, her husband woke up the next morning and announced "YOU SHOULD GET YOUR MONEY BACK FROM THAT SURGEON" :(

and yes..........I have woken myself up from snoring.

you should tell your sig other to punch you hard in the nuts when you snore.

I bet you try really hard to stop snoring after that!

(actually everyone already had all the good ideas...sleep study test may be in order here, Cap'n.)
