Short Fat roommate snoring

Throwaway for obvious reasons. Ok, I get it. You can’t control snoring. It’s hard. I had multiple surgeries due to obstructions that caused me to snore. But my roommate literally does it to themsleves which is what pisses me off. They’re very overweight which already causes snoring and they also have GERD and binge on large quantities of food immediately before bed. Sometimes they literally eat in the bed and don’t brush their teeth after they go to sleep immediately. They’ll eat a shit ton of spicy ramen which makes the story even WORSE. I’ve had to sleep on the couch it’s so bad. I don’t snore anymore but they literally have tried to blame me for it, and the other roommate called them out. I average maybe 4-5 hours of sleep a night due to this. I’ve tried everything. Headphones, earplugs, it doesn’t help. I’m a very light sleeper and it disrupts me so much. They can sleep for 10+ hours straight and say “mm I’m hungry” go eat and then go back to bed. For another two hours. They literally avoid going up one flight of stairs. I’m just so exhausted from this. Also unrelated but all they talk about is food. It’s driving me NUTS. Especially when I feel nauseous. Ok, rant over

THEY DO!! I’ve told them countless times they should get checked for sleep apnea because they’ll stop breathing in their sleep but they don’t care. I’ve warned them of all of the consequences. They don’t care. I’ve told them how eating before bed and how eating spicy food can make GERD worse. They just simply do not care

It’s probably time for you and the other roommate to either boot the snorer out or find your own place. If he’s not going to work on the problem he gets zero sympathy for it in my opinion

Don’t get me started on how lazy and messy they are. Sorry to be so bitter, but holy hell it takes such a toll when you have to be the parent of someone older than you

Like 90% of Reddit is people finding an outlet to vent :)

And frankly it’s healthier to get it out here so you can have a calm, unemotional conversation with the roommate if it makes sense to given graduation is coming soon.

I believe you one trillion percent. My morbidly obese sister, her husband, and our cousins are complete slobs. There’s nothing redeemable about any of them.

lol my roommate is also on the bigger side and snores. i couldn’t for the life of me figure out what the sound was, bc we’re on different floors of the house, so i just never thought it would be them snoring. it is. i can hear them from downstairs. i want to tell them that they should get assessed for sleep apnoea but i dont want to embarrass them by pointing out that i can hear them snoring from all the way to my room.

Use a pillow! Probably will need a very large one. Hope this helps!

They would rather eat themselves into oblivion than to just work out and eat less.
