5 Thoughts Everyone Has While Sleeping In The Same Room As A Snorer

Those of you who have a partner who you live with or spend the night with know what it's like when they're a snorer. Sometimes you think that you can handle it - and you do adapt - but these are definitely a few things you've thought while trying to sleep while they're howling away.

1. How is he this loud?

As I lay there trying to fall asleep, I can't help but think, "HOW IS HE THIS LOUD?" (Yes, that's me screaming in my head). I genuinely don't understand how someone is that loud, especially when they're unconscious! How can he be so loud without actually trying? Can I turn my ears off? I wonder if anyone has control over how loud they are when the snore. Do you think he's angry because he's actually snore-screaming? I think so because it doesn't make any sense.

2. If only I went to bed 10 minutes earlier...

We all have that moment when your partner is snoring away that you think of all the things you could've done to get in to bed earlier and pick out the moments where you messed up. Why did I watch those 15 Instagram stories?! If I only I didn't watch that extra episode of Friends. What if I made him do the dishes instead?! All of the things you could've done to be in bed first and fall asleep before this madness began. Now you have to sit here and either wait for your partner to stop snoring or you have to hope you fall asleep.

3. How does he survive this all night?

Okay, so I know everyone is different so I'm sure all snorers are different, but hear me out. I've heard some people snore who legit sound like they stop breathing for a few seconds while snoring. They just go silent and then you're sitting there like uhh.. should I wake them? Then out of nowhere they start up with the loud noises and stuff again. What is with that?! All I'm saying is that it's not cool.

4. Do you think he wakes up every morning with a sore throat?

This is more of a logistical question because when you're making loud noises all night with your mouth wide open, I don't get how you don't have a sore throat every morning. Doesn't it get dry? Do people who snore wake up and drink water all of the time? Do they wake up and drink water more than people who don't snore? Do they have more sore throats than people who don't snore? I have so many questions about this thought that all lead back to the snorer having sore throats. It just doesn't make sense.

5. I have to roll him over.

This is one of those easier said than done scenarios. While yes, it'd be nice to be able to roll an entire person over who is next to you, it doesn't always happen that gracefully. Sometimes, you try and they wake up and ask what you're doing, sometimes they're grumpy, sometimes they get startled, and sometimes, they don't wake up at all and therefore, don't budge. You keep thinking please roll over, but it never happens without some assistance. Yes, you waking them and telling them to roll over sounds harsh, but just do it.

Basically, it's always a little rough being the one who is wide awake next to someone who is snoring. Don't worry - you're not in this alone. A pro tip would be buying some ear plugs (they help soften the noise), taking some melatonin (a natural sleep aid), or just adapting - this actually does happen over time. Good luck to you, and happy sleeping to both you and your favorite little snorer!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
