Well, no. Over the face, of course. Much more efficient! The better wives I can do with for a couple of months. ;)

No problem, Jon. Of course I try to be very compassionate about it. ;)

Presumably the pillow goes over your ears rather than the snorer's face? :?

:) I'd think so.

Every 2 years or so, I buy a box with 200 pairs of ear plugs that reduce the volume with 35 dB (which is a lot). I've been using them for years, whenever I want absolute silence. That might be an option too.

Peter


Gonna give them another try :)

Can you try a white noise machine to muffle the sound? I have one in my daughter's room to help her sleep, as we live in an apartment on a busy street. It also muffles my neighbor's snoring. I believe we paid 50 dollars for ours but there are less expensive options.

Hi debbieko

Thanks for that, I'll look into it, sounds like an option. :)

Another option is noise-cancelling headphones. I have a pair that I use when I fly. They blot out a lot of noise but not all - screaming babies still find their way through. I suppose screaming babies would find their way through most things. :cry:

Oh, I've not seen those, that's another option to look into, thank you :) Yes screaming babies do get through most things. :)

Sorry...not very helpful.
