I think I'd rather live with a crack addict, a petty thief, or even the kind of person who never buys toilet paper and always leaves dishes in the sink than with a SNORER!
The last time I dated a snorer--let's call him Senor Le Snore--I was 25 or so. I was driven so crazy by his snoring that I seriously began to lose my mind--I would babble incoherently to people on the subway in the mornings because I was so tired, that kind of thing. When I told Pepe that something would have to change, he generously suggested that I simply wake him up whenever he was snoring, and ask him to roll over onto his side.

Scientists have long known that our sleeping patterns are determined by exposure to light and darkness. We run on a 24-hour cycle--called a "circadian rhythm"--and our desire to sleep or wake up is triggered when our eyes sense daylight. (Nerves in our eyes send a message to the brain that says, "Do not speak to anyone, just go turn on the coffee machine.") Anyone who has tried to sleep in after forgetting to close their shades knows exactly how this circadian rhythm works.
Now, scientists have found a new cue that can override our light-based sleep cycle: food.
