I will say that I don't normally snore (or only for a minute or two) but do have sleep apnea. The biggest difference I find with wearing my CPAP is that I don't clench my teeth at night (and then wake up with a headache). I didn't realize those were related but apparently they can be.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Our wings are not tired.
I use one of those mouth things for snoring, which works, and serves to keep me from grinding my teeth too. If I forget, which happens often, I wake with a sore throat which lets me know that I snored.

That which does not kill you should RUN
I guess I just have to accept that I snore like a wildebeest (in the words of a hospital roommate).
It doesn't seem possible, but Tim is totally cool with my snoring. When I went to Colorado for 10 days to help my brother, Tim texted me in the middle of the week to say "I miss your snoring. I find it comforting." Good thing, because I snore like a big fat old man who has swallowed a buzz saw. But no sleep apnea, AFAIK.

DH's snoring puts me to sleep if it is normal and rhythmic; if he is on his back and does the pause breathing thing I wake him up to change position. Zero chance of me getting him to do a sleep study.

I'm getting my hair cut this weekend. I keep thinking a Number 2 rake is the way to go, but I don't want to look like my MIL with her Marine hair cut.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Occasionally, if I fall asleep lying on my back, I'll snore loudly enough that I wake myself up.

That's me literally every time I sleep on my back. (Consequently, I don't sleep on my back, at least not on purpose. Sometimes I roll over onto my back and don't keep rolling to the other side, and soon enough, the buzz saw starts up.)

This usually happens if I fall asleep reading in bed ... I take it as a sign that I should put down the book, turn off the light and roll over on my side to sleep.

I try and put the Nook down and roll over once it has dropped in my lap 3 times. When I read real books that would result in my losing my place, so advantage Nook!

Ann, that's a ferret.
I have a device that keeps me from grinding my teeth at night. I don't know whether it does anything about the snoring.
