When air cannot easily pass through the mouth or nose, snoring occurs. Soft tissues in the mouth, nose, and throat bump into one another and vibrate when air is driven through an obstruction.

A rattling, snorting, or groaning sound is produced by the vibrations. And snoring can keep the other person awake.

Snoring noises might be very loud, grumbling, snorting or rumbling, or they can be subtle vibrations or whistles. Some people may snore as they sleep without being aware of it.

Regular cold- or flu-related snoring is usually not harmful. However, sleep apnea, a serious disorder, might be the cause of this extremely loud or regular snoring.

The OP in today's story suspects that her partner has sleep apnea because he snores so loudly. Not only that, but he snores so badly that sometimes it will wake the OP out of a sound sleep because it sounds like he is screaming.

This man refuses to see the doctor or try nasal straps, so the OP has been relegated to the couch so many times. But then, her partner is still inconsiderate, as he doesn't try to be quiet when he knows the OP is sleeping.

The OP had serious work to do, so she told her partner to use the couch instead, but it ended up being a problem for the boyfriend's mom and friends. Keep scrolling to read the entire story.
