I forget which comedian it was, but they claimed to excuse his snoring to his wife as an evolutionary survival trait
"It's there to keep the dinosaurs out of the cave!"
One thing not mentioned is to get people off their back and on their sides. My late partner was so quiet I often had to list to see if she was still breathing. Then she started sleeping on her back and the funny noises started. A tiny nudge got her to roll over and no more noises.
My family there were 7 of us. Mom tried birth control but it affected her mind. Later, my dad started snoring and she moved downstairs. No more kids. His snoring turned to be the best form of birth control.
