Do you have a roommate who snores too loud? Is it so loud it goes through the thin walls in your apartment and keeps you awake? Maybe it's not your roommate, but the neighbor who snores so loud it goes through the walls. I have this problem, but I've found a solution...

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • fan, waterfall gadget, humidifier, anything that makes low, relaxing noise.
  1. Step 1

    Decide if waking up roommate is possible. If yes, wake up roommate and go back to bed. If no, proceed to step 2.

  2. Step 2

    Turn on any number of items that mask the noise and help you sleep. Examples are fans, humidifiers, those lava lamps you get at Spencer's, miniature waterfalls, fish tanks, etc.

  3. Step 3

    Turn volume to level that drowns out the offensive sounds.

  4. Step 4

    Rest easy, laddy, you will now go to sleep.

Tips & Warnings
  • For retribution, you can always wake up the offender. It is both satisfying and fair. If you can't sleep, neither should they.
  • The following are things that are not relaxing sounds and should be avoided if possible: people screaming in a torture chamber, fingernails on a chalkboard, random gunfire, mary hart's voice, etc.

on 12/13/2007 Instead of lying there fuming over the other guy's sinal projection, mentally change the sound to the creaking of an old wooden sailboat at anchor, where you're swaying gently and rhythmically in a hammock.

on 10/10/2006 I find ear plugs work well too. If it works to block out the noise of a jet engine, it should work on snoring.
