So the week of New Years a virus attacked my body. It was rough. I’m almost back to 100%, except for one major symptom. I wake up with a really soar throat. The reason this is major is because it has caused my snoring to go to whole notha level.

I’ve always snored. I think I snored as a baby. I’m not one to deny that I snore, but in 8 1/2 years of marriage it’s never been a major problem. The worst it’s ever led to is my wife waking me up to ask me to roll over onto my stomach. That changed drastically with this sickness. My poor wife, Monica, has tried sleeping with her iPod playing, taking Tylenol PM, and rolling me over to my stomach. Nothing has helped, and for the first time in our marriage we ended up in separate beds.

I feel awful that I’ve affected her sleep. I’ll try anything! So yesterday I went to the store and bought SnoreStop and Breathe Right, two products that are supposed to reduce snoring. Last night was my first night of this snoring experiment. Any guesses on how it turned out?
