Snoring

I live on my own with my mum, and I'm going to university in September - not long to go now! Thank god.

One thing which is actually driving me crazy, is the fact that she snores so loudly.. and I can hear it all the time. I've tried ear plugs, getting her medication and none of it really works.

I don't know what to do, because it is seriously making me ill. I find myself being woke by her snoring at 3am, and I cannot even go back to sleep because it's so bad, and all I can hear.

I really don't know what to do, it is actually depressing me. I've spoken to her, but she just brushes it off because she is obviously not aware she is doing it; however, I'm starting to intensely despise her for doing it.

hang on untill september. else a kick in the ribs usually gets them to shift position and stop snoring.

Tell her to go to the doctors. They can refer her for an operation...

Do you like sleep in the same bed as your mum? If not, like go downstairs and sleep on the couch

So for another 6 months or so, I should sleep on the couch.. which is both uncomfortable and I would be woken up at 6am when she gets up for work anyway?

The thing is, I can still hear her downstairs, it's that bad.
