Ive just had another long weekend away on a long and fabulous trek. Paid for a single supplement which almost doubled the price and spent most of the night awake because of the loud vigourous and unihibited sex going on in the room next door. My snoring paled into insignificance by comparison.

What kind of statement is that?

A joke.

I also agree with Peachfront. Personally, I know that I snore and therefor only stay in a dorm as a last resort. But for a stranger to hand me a set of earplugs?? Inconsiderate, to say the least.

Wear a plastic bag over you head-securely fastened at the neck-it's what's all truly magnanimous people do.

Seriously if you snore like that get medical help-I've literally bashed/drenched with jars of water people who snored loudly-made sure they never got any sleep at all if they've woken me up.

Your ignorant selfishness is ruining other's sleep-which is unforgiveable.

I had a similar experience to Ohwell's - at a women's retreat, a bunkmate specifically asked me if I snored, and having been told that I do indeed (albeit quietly, again so I have been told), put up with her indignation when I responded that I had, on occasion been told so. She then proceeded to fall asleep before me, and I had to listen to her sawing logs for several hours before my exhaustion finally took hold and I was able to fall asleep.

A serious question - are there ANY older travellers who truly do NOT snore? I would respectfully suggest that we all do! It's a matter of degree.

If you really want to put a snorer out of commission dump water on their head-100% effective to get the old dork to STFU.

...if you opt for a dorm you opt for sleeping with anything goes

I don't mean dorm sleeping haven't done that for 20 years never intend to again.

However I do reserve the right to take revenge on anyone anywhere who wakes me from a sound sleep with their log sawing.

You Have Been Warned!
