SNORING - A BOON OR A BANE?

What a stupid question, you may think; it is not stupid at all. Before I asked this question did you ever think of the pros and cons of snoring? I am sure you did not.

Snoring is a boon…

It reminds your loved ones in the house, including those in the other rooms (if you snore loud enough) that you are alive and kicking. That I am sure is a happy feeling.

It keeps the dog awake so that you need not worry about anybody breaking in.

I am told that the person who snores is physically healthy.

Your better half is alert and would be ready with the morning coffee in time. Any way they would like the snoring to stop.

Snoring is a bane….

No body can have a peaceful sleep. When you snore you make such noises that no one can really sleep and when you stop snoring they are worried that something has happened to you. Either way it is a sleepless night.

Those who want to break in will know that you are blissfully asleep.

May be you are healthy. But what about others with the sleeplessness and tension?

Do you know why those who snore will never accept that they snore?

Very simple…

They never hear their snoring.


PS. My interest in snoring started when I was a child. My father is a fantastic snorer. He could produce unlimited varieties of noises, which you cannot imagine. I have spent several sleepless nights in his room. Several times when he stopped snoring, I would get up and peek at his face to satisfy myself that he is alright. Most of the times, at that precise moment he will wake up and see me staring at him with disastrous consequences for me.
