falcon269 said:Snoring is prominently featured in virtually every blog about the Camino, usually with a mixture of humor and irritation. I heard several times that some albergues have rooms or space set aside for snorers, but I never found one. I met a peregrina who spent many nights sleeping outside to get away from snoring (she did not like to wear earplugs). One hospitalero passed out disposable earplugs when a heavy snorer fell asleep early in the evening from tapas and wine. The laughter lasted for several minutes as pilgrims made jokes about the obliviously sleeping snorer. He never knew why everyone was smiling at him the next morning!
Does anyone have thoughts on dealing with snoring?
I bought earplugs in Viana. The biggest problem was choosing which kind as the pharmacy had so many varieties. (Obviously I wasn't the first person to buy them there!) They made a huge difference. I felt quite sanctimonious on a few mornings when others complained about the noise on some bad nights and I had to ask 'What noise?' Though even with earplugs, there was the night in Brea, not far from Santiago, when the woman's snoring was sooooo bad (someone described it as being like a pig that kept getting its throat cut) that I couldn't block it out even with earplugs. But it became a topic of convo along the way the next day, and then you discovered others who knew the same woman from other nights along the trail.....Rebekah Scott said:(I wear earplugs to bed almost every night, even though Shirley McLaine says they block my "chakra flow." I´d rather sleep, thanks anyway Shirl.)
Short of stoning the snorers, Earplugs are the only practical answer I´ve found.

Simple solution....stay in private rooms.I am planning to walk the Camino Francis in late September and have thought about snoring a lot. I have been married to the "King of Snoring" for 27 years. I have tried everything to be able to sleep with my husband. He is not worried about me walking the Camino alone, the distance, the blisters...he is worried about me being able to sleep. I have slept in hotel lobbies, lounge chairs on cruise ships, my car, outside, ANYWHERE to get away from his snoring when we are on vacation. I have gone to an ear doctor and have received custom ear plugs. I can still hear everything. I have tried headphones playing music on top of the earplugs. It is pretty uncomfortable, but it might be my only chance to sleep. I am determined not to let the worry of snorers cloud my joy of planning and walking the camino, but I do think about it. I dont like to take any medicine but sleeping pills may be in my backpack as a "backup".
