lol, well, tonight is over so you're out of luck here. if she is just staying for couple days and going home, unfortunatelly you have to put up with her since she is a guest. just hang in there. also stop by a pharmacy and get ear plugs, they feel funny for first few min but then you don't even feel them. give it a try and just try to relax instead of working yourself up by getting angry.

valium maybe?
for you of course

Can you get your blankets and pillow and find somewhere else to sleep?

I think that would be the easiest thing to do so you can sleep tonight.

Try to get to bed before your aunt, or when she does start to snore, roll her on her side (she won't remember).

try and get to sleep before her.

grab some cotton, stick it in your ears.... have a good night... BTW tell your aunt about the snoring, that can cause sever problems like Hipertension, and others, maybe she can get a surgery for it.

Find somewhere else to sleep. Or find some ear plugs, or just cope with it. Its only one more night

SNORING CANNOT BE STOPPED BUT IGNORING IT CAN BE DONE.Ignore the snore and go to sleep.

put a pillow on ur ear or watch tv that helps me fall asleep oh and there are these patches that u can put on ur grannys nose it will stop the snoring go to cvs they sell it

Stay at a friends house. ! Play Ur MP3 player/ I pod... play a CD.. Leave the TV on...Take a sleeping pill, go to sleep before she does.
Either that or put a pillow over her face... ( only joking ...)

You should be thanking God that it is not you that someone is complaining about. Wait until you are 65. I am there now plus two!

yeah just kill her

Buy some foam ear plugs from a pharmacy OR when she starts snoring, pinch her nose briefly (but not really hard!). This'll make the snoring stop.

sleeping on the side of your body can help reduce snoring. breathing through your nose is also another one. but its said that fat ppl are more likey to snore than a thinner person. so is your auntie fat? good luck.

you can always slightly pull/tug her pillow so she tosses around a bit to her side. and if all that fails, then i would say mp3 players are not only for daytime.

drink a glass of chilled milk before you go to bed.
