Oh god, I hate when this happens. I'm sleeping and having a nice time then I go to stretch in my sleep and BOOM I'm up for the rest of the night.

i need to give this to my dad i have misaphonia (spell check) and i can't handle snoring!!
Love how one says don't sleep on your side the other says sleep on your side. Wtf? 😂
I snore and I ended up figuring this out through trial and error. It's not perfect but it's better than nothing.
My BF snores SO FREAKIN LOUD. All night I have to be like "baby, roll onto your side!!!! Baby!!!! ROLL OVER YOU'RE SNORING." One time I gave him a little shove to roll over onto his side and he actually fell out of bed and hit his head on my nightstand :( Such a bummer that snoring stuff!

Wow...what a disappointing series. The hints are either no-brainers, questionable, or in some cases even wrong. Citing single sources, even if from medical publications, will not really help, if other sources exist that suggest something different. Moreover, sleeping is highly individual. Sorry for being a wisenheimer, but this series is almost post-factual.
100% with you on this one... What a waste of time, I feel like the creator of these was simply just bored...
Load More Replies... This is REALLY lame & especially lame to be on the front page. Put up something interesting like a cool holiday gift guide or something like that. Or are you trying to make this bored panda even more BORED. Thank you. NESTOR
Not to be too harsh, but these are pretty obvious.All of them. I kind of expected it to actually give me solutions if these problems persist.
Here's what worked for me (and yes, I know it sound weird): ditch the bed, get a hammock.
What's the solution for wake up too hot, take the covers off, wake up a bit later, too cold, put the covers back on? :-)
