Bonnet Creek wall thickness - how well do they block out snoring?

[akl432]

We're debating whether to have my parents stay with us in our 1-BR unit for one night. My dad snores EXTREMELY loud. Are the walls thick enough between the BR and LR to block out extremely loud snoring? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!

We were there last November and my husband snores really loud too. I could still hear him with the bedroom door closed but not enough to stop me from sleeping.

However I will tell you that the pull down sofa bed in the 1br presidential was REALLY uncomfortable, the mattress is very thin. I can't imagine 2 people would get any kind of restful sleep on it.

I know this doesn't answer the original question, but I would urge anyone who has a loved one who has a snoring problem to convince that person to see a doctor and have a sleep study done. Not all snoring is indicative of a problem, but a heavy, loud snoring could indicate obstructive sleep apnea. Your body becomes starved for oxygen because part of the passageways become obstructed and you wake up and snore to get air in.

Not only is it not conducive to a good night's sleep to being constantly woken up (even though you may not consciously realize you are waking up), but it is also dangerous long term to the health of your heart and brain.

I had my study done about 7 years ago and they found I stopped breathing around 26 times per hour. I've been using a CPAP ever since. The first six months to a year can be rough, especially as you have a huge sleep deficit, but I can't sleep without my machine now and it travels around the world with me.

I agree wholeheartedly. I had a sleep study done two years ago and I discovered that I had no REM sleep cycles at all because my sleep apnea was so severe due to obesity. I had WLS, lost nearly 100 lbs, and now sleep restfully without a CPAP.

The sleep study truly changed my life. (And my DH's because he sleeps better since I no longer snore.)

I have stayed at BC several times and I think their "noise factor" is better than all hotels and probably most condo units. That said, if they are an extremely loud snorers, would advise to bring a sound machine or if you have a car get a fan to help out just in case. When my mom stays at my house I can hear her in the next bedroom so I think that even really well insulated buildings can still keep be an issue!
