So, here's the info on the bed sharing book... I checked around and had better luck finding it on-line than in-store, but that was last week so things may have changed.

Professor Rosenblatt shared two stories about people who slept next to snorers. One guy found that if he lost just a few pounds... just a few... he'd stop snoring. So, his wife would put him on a diet everytime the snoring started. I thought that was pretty funny.

And the other gal learned how to nudge her husband just hard enough to get him to roll over without waking up. If he woke up he'd be all cranky, so it took a while to get the nudge just right, but she mastered it.

Here's an article I found that sort of backs up what the professor said to me in my interview about this being his 100th interview this month...

You know, the only one who snores in our household is the dog. No joke.

I remember the first time I heard it I got the giggles so bad I got tears in my eyes. He snores just like the way you might think an old man would snore after falling asleep in the Barca lounger.

But I'm perpetually "cold-footed", if you will. Poor John makes for a wonderful foot-warmer but never complains, bless his heart. I've even run my feet under the tub water to get them warmer before getting into bed. He'll tell you I'm a tosser and turner but I have no idea I'm doing it and always wake up feeling rested. I'm a pretty heavy sleeper.

Here's a picture of my hottie foot-warmer now:
