Just tap that elbow in the rib cage a bit, maybe pat the belly, or if you’re feeling particularly brave, give a big kick to the back of the knees while loudly whispering Shhhhhh in their ears. If that still doesn’t work, it’s time to roll them on over, and don’t worry: if they wake up, it’ll just be for a second and they’ll never remember it tomorrow.
AWESOME!

at school, throwing a pencil case at sleeping people seems to usually do the trick

As I believe that I am the snorer in my relationship, I can’t attest to how well this really works. But judging by the fact that my wife always seems well rested, and I wake up every morning with bruised ribs, I’d say it probably does the trick!

Excellent photo.

When my wife berates me tonight for kicking her snoring ass into consciousness, I’m telling her it was your idea.

That works?

This is a nightly ritual at our house! Sometimes I have to implement all three methods but eventually it works! Great one.

I wear a “CPAP mask” at night and not only do I look ridiculous wearing it but I also sound like Darth Vader breathing. Google it.

This is one of the BEST things ever. Almost better than baby drool and broccoflower. Even better than the car drop-off game. YES!

i recently found out that i can only nudge snoring people that i know. even when i’m on a plane. next to a random man. who is snoring louder than anything i have ever heard. i wanted to nudge him so bad but i just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

I gave up on the nudge months ago. I’ve found that a humidifier does an even better job for my bf. He doesn’t even start snoring if it’s on, but when it’s not I get slap happy, actually I prefer to kick his legs off the bed. :)

I completely agree, even though it’s a rare occurance. I have to do this to my boyfriend and my dog :(

[...] #815: When you nudge the person snoring next to you and it makes them stop [or cough really loudly..this worked on my dad last weekend ] [...]

This doesn’t work for me… all the nudge gets me is: *snork* “what!?” *grumble*… *zzzZZZZZ*
and the snoring continues.
Sure I can nudge to stop the snoring, but how do I get it to STAY that way???
