I know this has been covered but had to post a funny but disturbing post i just read
http://www.news.com.au/travel/trave...fellow-traveller/story-e6frfq80-1226863161529
Pretty on track though hey..LMAO......I might have a full symphony hard to hear myself!!!!!!!!I can see the notes being composed now. It may be easier to write them before you go and then just leave them as needed. Saves time in the morning.
I'm also happy to report that the same pharmacy was selling generic mouth guards for folks affected by snoring ; this turns out to be a device that positions the lower jaw forwards passively and comfortably, reducing snoring in over 83% of the people that use it . . .
I say go for the cheap foam ones. Give 'm a try
...My hubby complains bitterly about other snorers, this usually happens when he can't sleep, however he can keep a whole alberque awake. I can't tolerate ear plugs. I try to relax, follow the sound, like counting sheep...up/down /rattle,and a little night cap helps, getting mad helps no one. ...
(0 Review)Please take what follows with a certain amount of sodium, I just can't help myself as I thought your last comment to be a bit 'cheeky' . . .
Dear bed 72.
Thank you for the practical advice and sincere remarks. I did go to the pharmacy and looked for the sleeping pills and earplugs you suggested. I found some and purchased them for future reference/use.

Here you have a, non-medicinal way of , in all likelihood, reducing your snoring in the proverbial previously mentioned 'flash' and your fellow Camino walkers will not have to rely on sleeping pills or even earplugs . . .
It's like you have an opportunity to take responsibility for your unfortunate affliction, without having other folks having to take measures on your account . . .
Now we can all find 'the tranquility again' and I also hope that when you encounter similar people to me again that you can find an inner place of peace and patience and that your loving heart grows ever stronger !
Buen Camino !
Kind Regards,
Bed 68

Dear Bed 72,
Do you castigate crying babies and expect that to stop the noise?
My husband is the gentlest, kindest, nicest man I know but he snores. VERY loudly. He can't help it. He can't stop it.
People like you have ended our previously enjoyable stays in albergues. He is now too embarrassed to stay in them. Also I stay awake all night with anxiety waiting to poke, prod or turn him.
As one hospitalero said to me, if you can't cope with other people, and that includes snoring, then don't stay in an albergue.
And by the way, you smell!
Yours in loving Christian communion,
Bed 69.
Kiwi-d, the only thing I have found that blocks everything out is a pair of standard earplugs plus noise-reducing Bose headphones playing white noise on my iPod.On a slightly different tack (no particular bed being personally addressed....) can anyone recommend earplugs that actually work? In spite of being deaf enough to wear a hearing aid, I find earplugs hardly block anything. Unfortunately it's high pitched tones I don't hear, while anything deep sounding is crystal clear (and snores come into this category). I even paid $40 for a pair that promised to do wonderful things - nup, still the same. Any suggestions gratefully received (unless they involve holding head under in a bucket of water etc... )
Thanks for the heads up, Mark! I will bring Vick's VapoRub to put under my nose if this occurs.If one travels, and one stays in a hostel or albergue, whether on the Camino or anywhere else, one should expect there to be some degree of snoring or loud fellow travelers to be present. It's all part of communal living, and if one does not like it, get a room. Fortunately when I'm tired, like I was everyday night while walking the Camino, I can sleep soundly through the loudest of snorers. Now the peregrinos that smelled bad? That was another matter. Ha ha. Stink is stink, and I found it odd that some people did not take advantage of the showers at the albergues.

I will be on the Camino this September with my wife. I am a snorer and have been worried about my snoring. I know I snore and I don't want to disturb any other pilgrims but yet I do want to walk the Camino and have all the experience that one should have while on the Camino. I plan on taking with me and wearing at night "breath right strips". They seem to help me here at home. Also I have a chin strap that I too will be wearing that keeps my jaw closed and does indeed reduce the snoring. I don't know what else to do but in my mind I am doing all I can to respect other pilgrims. I am in advance apologizing for my snoring and any other body noises that my disturb you.
Buen Camino
ps I do promise this, at 6am when I am up getting ready to leave the albergue I will not disturb you in any way. I will be quite and depart without fanfare.
Thank you I do plan on walking the Camino and enjoying all that the Camino has to offer. I have no fear of who I am or how I am perceived by others.Jabaldo, do not give it any more thought. Really, The Camino is a pilgrimage. It has been walked for nearly 2000 years as a pilgrimage, a sacred walk, a religious and spiritual path. You have the right to walk it and fellow pilgrims are, IMO, called to look upon each other and you with charity and love. People who can't understand that should book into hotels. Or go walk somewhere else. I'm married to a snorer and I know there is nothing he can do - he's had the tests, tried the gadgets, it is just how he breathes.
Thank goodness it's all optional!Today's packing list additions...... gun plugs....wax earplugs... bose headphones....Ipod.... Vicks.... gasmask..... Now I'm getting a bit worried, I don't have any room left for clothes!
