Dear Barry:
My roommate snores.
Sleepless In San Antonio
Dear Sleepless,
Snoring roommates are a reality, and there is no easy way to broach the subject with the person with whom you're forced to co-exist. Banging on your roommate's door at one in the morning only postpones the problem, and the log sawing will begin again as soon as you hit the pillows.
Although earplugs are a reasonable alternative, but potentially costly, you might consider going to bed before him, or sleeping with your portable stereo cranked up to drown out the sounds. If that's not feasible, you might try making very loud self-administered sexual noises every night until your roommate has had enough and moves out.
