I welcome your men to the honorable society of The Men Who Snore. We are a group of men who admit we snore, do not have sleep apnea, and try as we might can't do a damn thing about it.

Other than my father, who was a fantastically LOUD snorer (who does have sleep apnea) the loudest snorer I have ever known is my "dog show wife". She is a little Asian woman about 5'3" who sounds like a semi going through a tunnel when she sleeps.

My petite BFF can be heard snoring through walls. I did have sleep apnea, but weight loss surgery resolved it. DH said I stopped snoring immediately after the surgery, before I had significant weight loss. . We were theorizing that the instruments they need to drop through your mouth etc pushed my soft palate back. Maybe?

I have a woman friend who can knock down walls when she snores - she does have sleep apnea. I snore a little bit when I am exhausted and on my back at times. Not loud according to DH. DH is more or less the same as me so if I nudge him to roll over it stops.
