I totally know how McDreamy feels

Not about oozing sex appeal. I have none of that. Not about having the abilities to cut open a human body either. I can't even carve a roast.

No, what McDreamy and I have in common is earplugs.

William snores. Not terribly badly, though some nights are worse than other. And it's not just that he snores...he breathes. And Saoirse breathes. And when Sophie joins us, she breathes.

All that breathing keeps me awake. And irritates the hell out of me. I hate body noise. I can fall asleep with the radio or TV on, but please, don't make me listen to someone breathe or snore.

Don't even get me started on how I feel about the sound of chewing.

Anyway, I think McDreamy's earplugs must be much better than mine, because he snuggled up to Meredith as though all was right with the world. Even with earplugs I keep my distance and sometimes have to put a pillow over my head as well.

Just a thought, but what's up with my usage of the word totally. When did I start this? It's really bothering me and yet I can't stop typing it.

Don't get me started on body noise. Jeff has "moderate to severe" sleep apnea & has to sleep with this oh-so-sexy sleep contraption covering his face. So if I don't hear snoring that compares to a train, I hear the very loud oxygen tank of a machine he's hooked up to. I guess I should be thankful that most nights he sleeps on the sofa...

Don't get me started on chewing. I don't understand loud chewers. Is it so hard to keep your freaking mouth closed and not smack, make spitting noises or any of the nasty other noises that human beings have discovered will make me go mad?

I really should just move to a deserted island far away from civilization.

Emma I totally understand you. I hate to hear body noises and breathing when I am trying to sleep keeps me up. We sleep with a fan blowing in our room and it helps cover up the sound, unless Kelly starts snoring and then I know i will have a difficult morning the next day. Also chewing I can't stand that and dinner time it drives me nuts when we are all eating at the same time, because certain children in my house seem to think eating has to be noisy even with their mouths closed!

I couldn't agree more. I hate snorers and heavy breathers and chewing ... OMG. How hard is it to shut it?? That's why I sleep downstairs and eat real fast at dinner.my dad's the worst.
At xmas at my grandparents it was a snore fest, no sleep for 2 nights. Oh and one more to add to my list ... Gum snapping. ARGHHHHHH!

Ok, I'm not a stalker..I just had nothing to do this afternoon at work..and therefore decided to read all the blog links That Chick Over There had on her page from the bottom up...

So here I am?

Aren't you TOTALLY thrilled? (I crack myself up...NOT)

I have to agree with you on the earplugs McDreamy was wearing...because I used to use some for my husband..that snores like a severely congested 5 yr old...now with our toddler I can't use them because I wouldn't hear her cry.....ah for the days that I can go back to using them..but either way..they didn't work like Dreamy's although I took comfort in the fact that Meredith isn't severly overweight and could seriously use a cheeseburger so maybe her snoring is more like the pur of a kitten vs. a freight train.

Anyway, I will be back to read..since I loved your profile blurb....

Wife and I watched that episode last night (can't get into that show) .. she asked me to buy her a pair of waxed ear plugs for her. I snore .. I breath .. I get hit .. I sleep through it.

I seriously consider ear plugs for my day to day life. Because EVERYTHING bugs my cranky little ears.

Unfortunately I happen to be the snorer. I consider it payback for the loud ass chewers, crackers, farters, and generally noisy people I live with.

Maybe you're a chewer/cracker/farter/noisy folk and the others are just getting back at you. ;)

OMG! The noises! Its weird because I even have a hearing problem, but I can hear a tap dripping, or like you said the worst is the CHEWING!
WTF! How can a person not rrealize that their mouths are open while the are eating?
I try to be understanding if the perosn has the sniffles or a cold, but otherwise "Chew with your mouth closed!"

I think McDreamy had wax ear plugs, try those! Yes I TOTALLY concur on the whole breathing thing.
