Backstage Chatter


Hello Friends,

This week I have a little piece of backstage chatter to share with you. It could be a bit funny. The chatter comes from the cast of the musical theatre show I was recently part of.

Every performance, the actress on the stage said her line which was similar to;

 “He snores like there’s a group of pigs on the loose.”

The line found common ground with the audience, and they laughed. It seemed that a lot of people know a heavy snorer and what they sound like when they’re sleeping.

One night, backstage, in the ladies dressing room, a conversation started about the challenges of sleeping with another. One of the women told us a real-life story, grin.

Her man is one of those loud snorers. During the evening of the story, she was woken up by snoring. She gave her a husband a whack, poor guy, to stop the annoying sound from interrupting her sleep.

The problem was…he wasn’t snoring. He was awake and innocent.

The woman had been woken up by the sound of her own snoring.

Not so funny for her.

I know what that’s like too. Sometimes on the weekend, it’s nice to have a catnap after lunch. I can drift off to sleep, the snoring starts, and suddenly I’m awake again. Oh dear!

So, snorers who share a bed should be careful with their sleepy judgements. Get to know the sound of your own group of pigs on the loose.

Have you ever known someone who doesn’t snore? One of my family members had enough snoring power to launch a rocket into outer space.


Take care,
stay well,
