I'm an awful snorer in hostel beds. I had to sleep in the hallway of a
hostel once due to it. I now travel with earplugs for the rest of the
room or a anti-snore mouthpiece (those things are damn expsneive). Its
a curse I tell you, so don't hate us too much. At the same time, most
snorers don't mind a pillow to the head every once and awhile to remind us.

Having spent many nights in climbing huts in the uk and Europe and cheap
dolllar hotels in Africa and Asia I have to say if you have a problem with
snoring then it is perhaps better you take a hotel room. By nature cheap
dorm space has its problems snoring is one, theft another but tolerance is
all when staying in cheap digs. Learn it or leave don't spend your free time
moaning about ****e on here.


I don't snore but have slept with people who do, no problem just learn to
relax. I live in the country no noise but used to live near a motorway I
know which I would rather have and its not the constant roar of traffic.


Kind regards safe travels to all

All was quiet until we became aware of this guys breathing getting
faster and faster and faster - then it stopped.

He didnt breathe for what seemed a hell of a long time and then
his body noisily convulsed as his lungs desperately sought air.
The bunk and the partition rattled
This pattern was repeated over and over and over.
People shook him, woke him, spoke to him, shouted at him
nothing made any difference.
