Snoring.

Little known fact: more than fifty million Americans struggle with snoring.

Less known fact: Jackson struggles with snoring more than I do, and he doesn't snore.

Completely unknown to me, during the night I put on quite a performance with my breathing. Described by John Carr as "a mixture between BattleBots and and train", Jackson has started to struggle with staying in the same room, this morning I discovered his bed was stripped of all covers, and he had curled up on the couch in the cold lodge in an attempt to sleep in the quiet of not having a roommate. Though there is no one to blame but himself for his struggles, I'd like to give a few tips on how to stop your roommate from keeping you up.

If they smoke, hide their cigs. Smokers snore more.

If they're overweight, hide their food. Overweight people snore more.

If they enjoy drinking alcohol before bed, hide their alcohol. Alcohol makes people snore more.

If they sleep on their back, roll them over. Back sleepers snore a ton more than stomach sleepers.

Things that don't work:

Throwing socks and other clothing you find on the ground at them.

Dropping your phone on them during the night.

Getting out of bed and waking them up by turning the light on.

Yelling their name.

Stealing their computer.


I hope this was of some use to you. The Willard House will continue working through this problem and keep you updated on any new developments on the battle against snoring.
