Sweet Dreams!

Imagine the following situation:

Unknown and irrelevant circumstances have forced you to sleep in a hospital-room with three other patients. It is 11pm. You are dead tired. Just as sleep is about to relieve you from your waking-misery that is yourself, Patient 1 starts to snore. Now, you might have predicted this: out of 3 cell-.....ehmmmm roommates, one is bound to be a snorer. But as you keep listening you realize: if this goes on all night, you have a problem.
10 minutes later your eyes are wide open. Then the snorer shifts around! Hope spreads in your tired limbs. Maybe she was lying on her back and now she turned. You hold your breath... but sadly Patient 1 doesn't. The snoring is worse than before. In addition to the dry whistling there now is a moist quality to it. Some sloggy liquid is blocking the way of her breathing. Thinking about it makes you shiver. Great, nightmares of Troll-Snod guaranteed.

The frustrating thing about snorers is, that they don't wake themselves no matter how loud they are! She breathes in heavily. But this sleep-sigh does not clear anything away. There merely was an internal shift in snod-arrangement. The pitch changed. Great... variety!
At this moment, Patient #2, who apparently was not woken by Patient #1, starts to do something very odd. It could not adequately be called snoring. It would be an understatement. As she breathes out, her vocal chords try to get everyones attention by contracting. The result is a monstrous saw-sigh. It does not help, that her breathing is very slow. It just causes the sawing to be in bits of 7-10 seconds, with pitch-glissando (for all you musicians this is common knowlegde but for the rest: this is like taking your fingers, hitting the highest note on a piano, and without lifting your hand, dragging in one smooth movement to the very lowest one).
So to recap: we now have a slodge-glissando-saw-lullaby at a noise level that surpasses any subwoofer. And Patient #3 hasn't even stirred. This can only mean one thing: she has not woken up which leads me to think that she is very much used to this... yah thats right... she is probably a snorer too!
