Woken by Your Own Snores

Why don’t your own snores wake you up? Most people don’t think they actually snore because apparently they can’t hear themselves doing it. It doesn’t matter if it is so loud that it shakes the very foundation of the house…still they sleep through it. Yet, they can hear a barely audible squeak of the door or a wife tip-toeing across the carpet. What's up with that?!

I have to admit that I have actually woken myself up with my own snores before. But for some reason I didn't come completely out of my sleep mode, only just to the very edge of the surface. I lay there thinking how rude it was that someone would be snoring in my room while I'm trying to sleep. It is funny how my unconscious mind never registered that I was the only one in the room.
