Snoring is hardly limited to the little people. When you're feeling whatever your snoring makes you feel, whether frustration, pride, hopelessness or anger, take comfort in the fact that you have some famous company.
Winston Churchill was one famous snorer. When he reached his later years, he was quite overweight, drank a considerable amount and smoked cigars, all of which can contribute to snoring problems. He was known for his afternoon naps, when there could be plenty of witness to his snoring.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt suffered from both hypertension and sleep apnea. It is believed that both of these things contributed to his death in 1945. It is believed these conditions made him more tired than he ought to have been, particularly in the mornings.
Teddy Roosevelt's snoring was apparently of deafening volume. During one hospital visit, the other patients were heard to complain about the amount of noise coming from his room. Like many, he put on a lot of weight in his later years. He died at only 60 years old, in his sleep.
President Grover Cleveland was the second heaviest American president, second only to William Howard Taft. Cleveland is thought to have weighed approximately 280 pounds. He was seriously overweight in his last ten or so years. Combined with his love of beer, it is of little surprise that he was known for snoring.
Queen Victoria was only five foot, two inches tall but she was far from a small lady, with a 46 inch waist. She was known for her insomnia, to the point where her ladies in waiting were told to keep her awake during the day, as she was prone to falling asleep and snoring.
This is only a few of the famous counterparts in snoring, but as you can see snorers are in fine company when it comes to their problem.
