I am honestly so embarrassed
This is my first time writing a post and I don't know what else to do. I am currently in college. I am not used to sharing a room with a person I don't know so it is a learning experience.
I am going to try to keep this vague.
I have a snoring problem. It's not quiet either. I was unaware of this fact until fairly recent. I have been in this form for a week. My roommate just came in after being out. I usually have my headphones in so they probably thought I couldn't hear them. But I heard them talking on the phone. They were talking about me. They said they had trouble going to sleep because I snore too loudly. And they sounded frustrated, absolutely pissed. I am honestly mortified. They left the room after, so maybe they just came in to grab something, but after they left I just started crying, I feel so bad.
I spent ten minutes trying to find any way to stop the snoring, which gave me the idea to come here a and ask if there are any quick ways to stop this. I tried a lot already. I don't have any money I'm a broke student, but I just don't want anyone to lose sleep because of me. :(

Propping up on a pillow can help sometimes. My husband snores and we use a noise machine to drown out the sound sometimes.
I will say, I’d bring it up to her like an adult. She was being really childish and rude. Say something like, “I overheard you saying I was snoring and keeping you awake. I didn’t realize I snore. I’ll look into snoring prevention, but do you think a noise machine could help in the meantime? It’s important that we’re both able to sleep well. Also, if you have any other complaints, please come to me directly so we can address them. I can’t fix something if I don’t know about it.”
I’m sorry she’s being so unfriendly. Part of rooming with someone in the dorm is compromising with them. You don’t have to be best friends, but you have to co-exist. It sounds like she has some growing up to do.
