AIBU to poke this girl in the fucking head?!

[BlahBlahBlahEtc]

I'm in hospital attached to an iv where I haven't been able to bend my arm for 14 hours. I finally FINALLY get to sleep 20 mins ago and now I'm awoken by the woman in the next bed snoring like a GODDAMN RAF FIGHTER JET.
Oh and that's OVER my usually soundproof ear plugs.
I want to poke her in the temple -_-

HOW ON EARTH CAN SHE GET LOUDER?!

Did you get any sleep in the end?!

Oh BlahBlah I feel your pain, I'm not long out of hospital, my first night I had multiple fractures and just paracetamol cos they were too scared to give the pregnant woman decent drugs. One woman slept all night snoring like a fucking jet fighter, another woke up every hour coughing and spluttering and gobbing up phlegm then yelling at the nurses for cough medicine. Thankfully after a few days I got put in a side room.

Hope you're home and resting and the drugs do the trick

Oh i sympathise , hope you got a tiny bit of sleep. This happened to me the night before I had dd. The lady opposite was snoring so loudly i could hear her through my earphones which I had turned up. She woke up at one point , opened a bag of pickled onion crisps and ate them. Just what I wanted to smell in the middle of the night. Then she started the snoring again. So annoying. Hope you're asleep now op.

The woman in the bed next to my mum had a kebab delivered to the ward in the middle of the night Pluto

Hey all! Seems like we all have nightmare snorers in hospital! I'm still here waiting to be discharged. Snorer has been telling any one that'll listen that she didn't sleep last night... I BEG TO DIFFER! I can't be mean to her, she's sweet but my god that girl sounds worse than Justin Beiber on acid.
Sorry to not individually reply! I should be packing my gear

A kebab lol!!

YANBU, I stayed overnight for monitoring during my last pregnancy and they put me on a ward where partners were allowed to stay over. This guy snored ridiculously loudly and kept everyone awake, in the morning when the nurses did their rounds I could hear him saying "she didn't sleep a wink last night I don't know why", I wanted to shout none of us did you bastard!

I feel your pain! I was opposite a lady who squeaked on every exhalation-whilst awake. Even the nurses spoke to her eventually. It was ridiculously annoying, particularly as I was attached to various things and couldn't get out of bed. The lady next to me had an air bed thing that kept failing and tweeted like a bird (the bed, not her!) when it wasn't working properly. I had to call the nurse several times a night to ask for it to be re-set.

LOL at this thread.

"Even the nurses spoke to her"

Why? What did they want her to do about it? Not go to sleep? No-one snores deliberately.

The way to deal with it, is to take ear plugs into the hospital.

Bit about some bloke being allowed to stay over and wake everyone up with his snoring. Won't get into a discussion about mixed wards here...

AskBasil yes, lets just say it led to some interesting arguments with the nurses regarding keeping my curtains closed. They have to sleep on a recliner type chair which probably doesn't help with the snoring but even so it was horrendous, he pretty slept/snored on and off till 11am the next day.

Trying to sleep in hospital is mission impossible. I was in for a night with a suspected pulmonary embolism (it wasn't) and an old lady kept asking for a cup of tea and toast. Despite being brought it 3 times she didn't drink or eat it and forgot they brought it and asked for more! I never thought it possible I would want to strangle a confused old lady so your poking is very minor in comparison

Basil - OP has earplugs. The snoring is audible through the earplugs...

Maybe it's all part of her dastardly plan to get a private room?

Oh I totally sympathise. I had to stay overnight on an ENT ward once. I've never heard anything as loud as the snoring coming from the teenager in the next bed. Lord knows what she was in for but I hope it helped! I didnt sleep a wink and by the time morning came I could have cried.

I feel your pain. I was in with HG for 3 weeks and had a snorer. If she stopped snoring for 2 seconds it was only to fart.
She demanded to be moved to a side room because my drip woke her up beeping. It beeped for less than a minute and then she was back to snoring like a bull.
The nurses moved me into the side room instead .
Hope you are feeling better.

oops I missed the bit about the noise of the snoring being so loud that it came through the ear-plugs.

Hmm. Mindfulness? Use her snoring as a focus of concentration?

Sorry, not helpful.

I would have been so wound up when she commented on how little sleep she had hope you get rest tonight OP

This makes me very grateful that when i was in hospital last year i was put in a side room as i had something potentially dangerous to others ( suspected meningitis which thankfully turned out not to be)

Huge sympathy over the canula though
Mine just would not stay in
They kept movung it and around 2am on my 4th night a desperate and exasperated doctor manaaged to find a co-operative vein in my FOOT and jammed it in.

Hope you are feeling better now. Have they discharged you

I was admitted to maternity the other day and at 11.50PM new patient is brought in, turns on all the lights phones up the TV people ranting at them that the TV isn't working and then proceeds to phone everyone in her contacts! Evan has a row with one as they complained she had phoned them so late! Erm yeah we are asleep as well you rude bitcg!
