It's 3 AM.

I am at an Anime Convention, Otakon in Baltimore, MD.

Somehow, I was roped into sharing a room with six other guys.

Of the six one of them exercises regularly and eats relatively healthy. Weighs maybe 225 but that's down 10 lbs from a month ago. He appears to be sleeping and he's not snoring, although he might just be doing a fantastic job of pretending to sleep.

Four of the other five weigh a minimum of 270 each. One of them tips the scales at 350, easily. None of them exercise, and they all eat garbage on a daily basis. They appear to subconsciously be engaging in a snoring contest, or maybe they're subconsciously trying to create horrible snoring music 'cause I swear there's a fucking melody going with their snoring.

The last is also snoring. However he's only 135 lbs. But he's maybe six-feet tall and your average field mouse has more muscle mass than he does. I'm told he has a massive penis, but then I think a roll of smarties candies probably look massive if they're placed between two twigs. He too never exercises and eats garbage. His is the loudest snoring I've ever heard in my life.

Additionally, one or more persons are emitting some kind of horrible gas or combination of gases that, possibly when combined smells like black coffee, egg mcmuffins and sulfur.

I hate so sound cold, but I need confirmation that snoring is a sign of bad health so I can at least take solace that the participants of this chorus from Hell are in all likelihood dying.

I never understand why people dance around their true intentions when they start threads.

Well it is bad for your health in that it increases your risk of being smothered by anyone within earshot.

I'm on a computer, nobody can hear this. The keyboard is very quiet.

snoring by it self isn't bad, it's when a person has periods of apnea, stop breathing, that's bad. it puts terrible strain on the heart and lungs.

I'm sharing a room with Raven Gregory at Chicago. I'm not a religious man, but I'm asking you all to pray for me.

Snoring is not a sign of bad health. It usually involves the tissue on the back of the roof of the mouth vibrating.

HOWEVER, being overweight can make it worse.

It could also be sinus problems, allergies or any number of things..

Snoring is common in adults and usually is not an indication of an underlying disorder.

In most people, the reason for snoring is not known. The following are potential causes other than sleep apnea:

* Sleeping pills, antihistamines, or alcohol at bedtime
* Nasal congestion from colds or allergies, especially if it lasts a long time
* Enlarged adenoids and tonsils that block the airway
* Being overweight, which leads to excessive neck tissue that puts pressure on the airway
* Last month of pregnancy


hmm...maybe one of them is pregnant..... :lol:

I'm not the healthiest guy in the world, and I don't snore. Never have. And I even have sinuses.

My father-in-law is pretty healthy. Well, aside from having the most fucked up wart covered gout-ridden feet you'll ever see in your life as well as being gassy. He works out, swims 5 miles and bikes about 20 miles every other day.

All in all, he is pretty healthy for a 50 year old.

But he sounds like a motherfucking deisel truck when he sleeps.

Grrrrrrrrrreaaaaaaaaaattttttt. Like I don't have cramps in my legs and have to pee every hour I get to look forward to snoring. Yeesh.

Poor Noble, he already has to put up with me struggling to get in and out of bed all night long. :lol:

My wife is very thin (5'9" and 123 lbs) and healthy and she has always snored like a fat drunk. It's not always poor health that causes it.

I think going to an Anime Convention with six guys is sign of poor mental health.

body size/mass and health are not always inversely proportional
