I personaly think its a fad.. Do you really need a "special" room ..


Would you have one in you home /

Celebrities including Tom Cruise are investing in soundproofed bedrooms where they can snore in peace without disturbing their spouses.







 

While eccentric stars of yesteryear constructed nuclear shelters and panic rooms at their Hollywood mansions, the so-called snoratoria are the latest must have features.


Shortly after the actor married Katie Holmes, it was reported that they sometimes slept in different rooms because of his snoring.

A visitor to Cruise’s home said : “Whoever uses the snoring room cannot be heard outside the locked door.


“It’s very small, comfortable and dark, maybe a former nursery.”


Pierre Stooss, a Hollywood estate agent, said snoratoria were growing in popularity.


“Sometimes it just starts off as a temporary measure, but then word spreads and now everyone with the space wants one,” he said.


“The key is making it as silent as you can, inside and outside. Some rooms have fish tanks to cover the noise and soothe the snorer.”


Men are thought to become more prone to snoring in their 40s as the soft palate relaxes, creating more noise during sleep.


Judith Sheindlin, 68, who hosts the daytime television show Judge Judy, recently admitted building a snoratorium at her 23-acre estate in Connecticut.


“We have an extra room that we call the snoring room. It’s not necessarily for my husband. I have been told that I snore, although I cannot hear myself,” she said.

How do we know that Katie Holmes wasn't the one snoring? :P

But hey, I've heard about the snoring breaking up marriages! So much for commitment ... See? That's why character is important to suss out before taking the leap into the abyss, I mean marriage.

It depends on the relation. Some people don't sleep at all when they are together!

If you read novels about that era, you will find that husband and wife had separate but adjoining rooms.. So whenever one of them had an itch, they would visit their better half and then return to their own room to sleep.. This is a good idea actually.. More privacy and lots of space. Who says that husband and wife should share a room??? They can have a perfectly healthy marital relationship and yet sleep in separate rooms..

If you've got the money it makes more sense then using the spare room I guess.  Although I heard the actual fad (at least before the recession) was building houses with 2 master bedrooms.

MBK its coz our ears and mind is half asleep, so tatz why u dont get disturbed by ur own snoring...:)

Pilgram now I get it why I end up on the Couch so many times in a week, I have a problem of snoozing off while watching telly and I guess thats a good excuse for Mrs MBK to leave me there and she can go and have her beauty sleep :(Also why is that the person who snores doesnt get disturbed by his/her own snoring and yet others do?

My point was that "do we really need a snore room" ? Why not use the spare room as we all do ?

So, its just a fad for the rich and idiotic..

This is hardly new Brit. Women have been kicking Husbands into the spare room for centuries when the snoring gets too loud.  I know my Father (who snores like a train going through the room) has spent a lot of nights in the spare room.   I know of couples who have slept seperately for decades because of one of the partners loud snoring, and they claim the move has made their marriage better.

 Hope you managed to sound proof it. Remember the problems caused last time, when the sheep woke up the neighbours in the upstairs tent :O(
