Okay, since you all are so very helpful and this IS cat related here it is...I have always snored but for the last year it has become even louder, I am not overweight, don't drink or take meds or any of the things that can cause it, I believe it is allergy related due to the high rainfall amounts since a year ago now, talked to my doctor who said I don't have sleep apnea and the only thing would be surgery but we both agree that is a "no". Deb also snores but not like me, so if we are both upstairs in our Cape Cod house in the same bed it is mostly her who suffers and has to come downstairs although I tell her "I am the problem, I should move" but she doesn't want to do that, so awhile ago I bought a good cot just to see if we could sleep on it downstairs and it wasn't bad, naturally not as good as the bed but doable, so a few months ago we bought 2 new sofa beds and a sleeper chair which are pretty comfortable, not too bad, and we have been taking turns sleeping one upstairs and one downstairs, and you wouldn't believe how many people have told us that they do the same thing! But the problem is the cats, we have 9, so there is always 1 or more that just has to sleep with you and they take up room and you are twisted and wake up many times a night, or they are making noises or fighting or hissing or whatever so whomever sleeps downstairs gets the short end of the stick, the one upstairs sleeps like a baby! But our problem is we don't have a spare room that we could put these in or a bed to make a bedroom, it is a small Cape Cod and the only "spare" room is where they have their litter boxes, to move them out into the living room to make a bedroom, no, no good....Deb keeps saying we should build on and also put another bathroom in but we really can't do that either the way that the house is laid out. Sometimes I play with them with string toys and laser light to try to tire them out, sometimes it works sometimes not, but I know when I sleep downstairs they aren't as rowdy or as Deb says "you probably sleep and snore through it so you don't hear them" lol which might be true, but I have noticed for years now they seem to get more rowdy when she is around, I don't know why? I could be home with them and they are fine, as soon as she comes home it's like a switch is flipped and they act up! But anyway, if anyone has lived through this issue or has any other ideas please let me know, I did say again that if I had a bed in the living room not a sofa bed but a real bed I would sleep better and they would have more room if they slept with me, usually my boy Sylvester does and sometimes Stanley but last night she said she had 4 with her and that's nuts!!! And she is against having a real bed in the living room so that shoots that lol!
Any ideas would be welcomed, thanks again as usual!!!!
