Today, my roommate told me there is some restricted number that keeps calling and waking her up at odd hours of the night. She then says she's getting the police involved to find out who it is because she feels "harassed". I'm the restricted caller calling to wake her up from snoring so loud. FML

Don't call on restricted? Or how abou actually telling her since she's your roommate.

police have better things to do, like catching "actual" criminals. Grow a pair of overies and tell your roommate she snores

Haha thats wht i do at friends houses:) they get mad when i wake them up so i just call from a restricted number.. I think you should talk to her though if it is that bAd

YDI for sleeping after her. if you go to sleep before her you won't even notice. Why the hell would you call her?

Um actually, not everyone sleeps super-deeply. I know I don't. The smallest thing (like someone dropping something across the hall) will be enough to wake me up. So, going to sleep before the roommate if OP is anything like me won't work, since the snoring will wake OP up when she DOES get to sleep.

Well, I was going to re-post, but my comment reappeared. Ignore this post.

why would you call your roomamate? you live with them. if you're too uncomfortable to confront them about their snoring issues then maybe you shouldn't be living with them in the first place...

Maybe they were forced roommates? Sometimes that happens in college and university dorms...

Tell her about it, preferably before she actually calls the police.

wow, people seem to think that snoring is voluntary.. newsflash, she can't help it! I suggest buying some good quality ear plugs. and maybe advise her to see a doctor. she probably has a nasal condition

Okay, first off I HAVE told her it wakes me up. She has been through nasal strips, nasal spray, throat spray...everything they say that will cure snoring. NOTHING WORKS. And yes, she is a forced roommate. I didn't choose her and it's too late to switch. This was the only way that really helped to get her to shut up so everyone get off my case about it!

I laughed out loud at this. poor you! you have to tell her..

Wow people..sometimes a roommate is actually a ROOMmate. As in, sleeps in the same room as you, not just in the same house. As someone who's husband snores, sometimes there are desperate things that you will do to get some sleep at three in the morning. I think this strategy is full of win. OP...If you tell your roommate that it is you calling, I think she'll understand. If she already knows that she snores, she knows you have stop her at night somehow. A phone call or text is an easy signaling system. 1. She knows right away what you need. 2. You don't have to get out of bed. 3. She doesn't have to be embarrassed apologizing with you standing over her. Instead of calling her, text her with a code word like "banana" or something so it's quick and easy with no questions as to what it means.

If roomate is aware of it and not doing anything about the snore, yes she's damn inconsiderate! its painful to hv interrupted sleep & u can imagine how loud it is to be heard at the other room. well, at least OP didn't kick up a fuss in order to stop her loud snoring. but OP should let her know abt the snoring problem if not alr done so...
