I knew a friend who had one and I splet is his guest room next to his room and never even heard the thing. But then again, I had Flora in the bed with me and she snored back then! She had to have her tonsils removed and has not sored since.
Wouldn't hurt to get sleep tested though, just to see if it's happening. 
I'm with you, if I were forced to sleep on my back I would go insane! Been a belly sleeper/ fetal position sleeper my whole life, would never get an ounce of sleep on my back. 
I'm off for now, Flora wants my computer.

Damn think was still a bit loud. Then again, I am an extremely light sleeper. Plus, I'd have to sleep on my damn back!!  Ah...maybe someday. Becks: thanks for the kind words. Typical guy answer: yeah...I'll get around to it sometime. I am actually in a bit of shock over the sudden death of Natasha Richardson. WTF? Died after an accident on a bunny hill??! What type of crap luck is THAT? Here I just get back from cliff-jumping double black diamond runs at almost 10,000 feet where you easily could have lost control and fallen off a cliff and she dies because of a fender bender on a green run. Wow, I am really shocked at the news and I don't even know much about her career as an actress.      spapad wrote: If if turns out you need one someday the machines are WAY quieter than they used to be.      guidogodoy wrote: Oh I know and my doc has, indeed, suggested that I go in for a sleep study.
