I have started making a strange noise.

I'm going with the purring. I do actually enjoy making this noise. (Yes, I know that's weird!) It's DH who doesn't enjoy it.

Alexa that is interesting about a pouch in the upper esophagus. I could well have that.But I don't think it's connected with this particular thing.

OH’s snoring seems to have quietened down recently. It used to be so loud it could be heard from the pavement outside our house - and he was sleeping in the back bedroom! He used to give a little ‘pu’ sound after each roar.

DD2 has sleep apnea but rarely uses her breathing apparatus as it makes her skin sore and she says she doesn’t want to frighten her toddler.

Try as I might, I cannot make a snore sound when I am awake. But DH has complained about my snoring in bed.

Well I grunt as I go to sleep and I know I do it as I jolt myself slightly

Granny Grunt.

One of the "sleep apps on your phone" reveals some interesting noises l as you seel during the night /day lol.

I used mine once, that was enough, you would think I had slept in the jungle lol.

"sleep" tut...

I can’t stop myself from talking as I drop off,the other night I said “ summerhouse” my husband who wasn’t quite asleep said “I don’t want a summer house” I’d woken up by then and said” I don’t want a summerhouse either.How strange, it must be another age related thing.

I often make a grunt just as I am on the edge of sleep; by turning over on to my side, this stops the grunt and I go to sleep. I've noticed this is much worse when I have a cold, so it must be to do with the ear, nose and throat connection. And, like others, it sometimes happens when I'm drifting off while watching television!

I’m reading this in bed. I’m trying so hard not to laugh that I’m shaking and DH has just told me to be quiet and go to sleep!

Well, starting this thread seems to have cured me for the time being.

Funnily enough, last night DH started on it. I didn't wake him up.
