My uncle snored so loudly that he often woke himself up. And when he visited, he shared my bedroom (I had a spare single bed there). It. Was, Awful. When I mentioned not getting any sleep, he told me it would be okay wake him. O…K… the next night I tried touching him. Nope. I tried shaking him. Nope. I took my blanket and went to the living room (a different floor of the house) and tried to sleep on the couch. That didn’t work perfectly, but it WAS better. THEN he told me I should have used a squirt gun.
I can remember trips with my parents. Dad snoring, Mom saying, " Harold, you’re snoring again" 6 or 7 times a night. No wonder I don’t remember the car ride, I was probably asleep.
I always hated having to share a motel bed with my mother, who snoring could wake the dead! My father and brother occupied the other bed, and brother complained that father’s kicking kept him awake, too.
When I was younger, our family lived on a long not-too-steep grade in town on a major through street. There WAS constant downshifting. You’d be amazed at how one can get used to it. When we moved to the suburbs (such as they were), it was s-o-o-o quiet. One found it hard to sleep for the lack of noise.
You gotta give that: Dad’s would not be dad’s if they did not come with loud snoring included. I guess if you got a teenage/young adult son who swears he’ll never marry and you really wanted grandchildren: if he snores like a jet engine in a crowded airport, do not worry, he’ll get hitched and you’ll get your grandchildren.
During our twenties, camping with friends, one snored so loud we made him sleep in his own tent, at the edge of the campground lot. Up early one morning, I heard the campers in the neighboring lot talking over coffee: "Did you hear that guy next door? He kept me up all night! " “Me too”, said another.

Mom and Dad enjoyed their motel stays much more before they became Mom and Dad.

I’d like to know why they had to drive to that wedding when the train is much faster.

He falls asleep because there is no tiger breathing, but mostly because he is worn out from all the stuff he does that he shouldn’t.

I use high end 3M ear plugs and they work great. Good enough to kill the snoring yet not good enough to kill the smoke alarms.

Is truck driving one of Calvin’s side jobs? He sure knows a lot about those monsters.

I use some noise-canceling earbuds, to soften my wife’s snoring. They don’t always work perfectly.

Heh, imagine if the Dad was actually imitating truck noises in his sleep, like pretending he was a truck driver!
