Types of SnorerZzz in Hostels

It's 3am... You're currently in a mixed 10-bedroom hostel dorm... You still haven't managed to get a wink of sleep.

You are currently regretting not grabbing a pair of ear plugs as you lie with your face in the pillow listening to four people snoring as if they are part of a unorganised choir. 

----------------------

Here you will meet or relive the types of snorers you will come across at hostels!

And if you haven't been kept awake by snorers... maybe, just maybe, you are ONE OF THEM! (Guilty)

1. THE CHAIN SNORER

Would you rather have a chain snorer on the top bunk or Diana Ross singing Chain Reaction all night?

SOUNDS LIKE: a chainsaw being let loose in a  large metal container. This snorer really plays with your mind! Just when you think they have stopped and you start to get settled, they start again. You'll repeat this process a few times until you admit defeat and consider throwing a pillow in their direction.

2. THE DRUNK, LYING ON THEIR BACK SNORER

If you can't beat them, join them! Grab a tequila or three!

SOUNDS LIKE: a mix of every snore on this list, you have yourself a beautiful cocktail if two or more drunk snorers are in the room. And by 'beautiful cocktail' I mean a dirty pint. You will not be sleeping tonight... This is your sober version of a hangover.

- Side Note: This snorer also likes to panic you as they make noises similar to choking, it is ok, they are not. They will unconsciously sort themselves out and get straight back into snoring. 

3. THE ROARER SNORER

What does the lion, the bear and the person snoring on the top bunk all have in common? 

SOUNDS LIKE: a ROAR! This snorer tends to inhale all the oxygen in the room and let out an almighty roar upon exhale. It sounds pretty painful, yet they sleep the night soundly away like sleeping beauty. 

4. THE WHISTLER

Unfortunately it is not Matthew McConaughey, sorry. 

SOUNDS LIKE: a group of mice slowly being put to death. (I don't know what that actually sounds like but this is what I imagine it to sound like). This high pitched wheezy snorer will be making you wish those ear plugs were at hand. 

5. THE BARELY SNORING SNORER

GUILTY! I have been told by newly met friends at hostels that I have this snore type. 

SOUNDS LIKE: a constantly disappointed mother, huffing and puffing with the added sighs. This is basically heavy breathing at a very quiet volume, its the least invasive of snoring types ( I tell myself this to feel better ) 

6. THE DARTH VADER

The force is strong with this one.

SOUNDS LIKE: Darth Vader himself. This is not just any kind of snore, it is a double, two for one snore! A *deep breath in* then a prolonged *breath ooooooout*. Now I am a HUGE Star Wars fan, BUT, this iconic sound should not be heard on repeat, especially when one tries to sleep. 

7. THE TALKING SNORER

Ummm, Excuse me? What did you just say! 

SOUNDS LIKE: the snorer is chewing the pillow, whilst talking out loud. They might say things that will lead you to sit up and say 'What the fu...dge'. You better cross your fingers this delightful snorer is not in the bunk above you. You will hear every toss and turn throughout the entire night. 

8. THE 'ON AND OFF' SNORER

Now, where is the permanent off switch? 

SOUNDS LIKE: the person can't quite make their mind up if they want to snore or not. This snorer can vary from being barley audible to then being the loudest in the room. A bit like a surprise pic n' mix sweets bag, you never know what you are going to get! Better hope its not liquorish. 

9. THE I DON'T SNORE SNORER

Liar Liar pants on fire!

SOUNDS LIKE: a liar! This person led you into a false sense of security. They are some of the loudest and deepest snorers you will ever encounter. They tend to wake up in the morning with a sore throat and innocently say 'Oh God, I have a sore throat I hope I'm not coming down with something' to which you stand staring with your tired eyes, ready to burst because you know EXACTLY why they have that sore throat... snoring obnoxiously loud. 

All jokes aside many of us do snore. (Especially after a few drinks) Make sure you pack a few ear buds, cancel that sound out and sleep soundly (by soundly, please don't snore)
