Snoring Celebrities

Winston Churchill was known to be loud snorer. His rotund figure coupled with those fat ‘trademark’ cigars and a fair amount of alcohol certainly made him a good candidate. Despite these unhealthy habits Churchill still lived to be ninety.

The somewhat overweight Theodore ‘Teddy’ Roosevelt reached truly anti social volumes with his snoring. In January 1919 he died in his sleep aged just sixty. Doctors attributed his death to several possible causes including coronary embolism and inflammatory rheumatism. But his weight and his snoring were considered significant factors.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt suffered high blood pressure (hypertension) and sleep apnea. He enjoyed a smoke in the day and would snore at night.


Queen Victoria became vastly overweight as she aged. At one stage she needed a 46 inch (about 117cm) waist size for garments. She was also known to snore.


Courtney Cox claims that her husband David Arquette snores terribly.


Rosanne Barr’s snoring can drive her husband Ben Thomas to sleep in the other room.

Richard Gere uses a sleep device to prevent snoring

Washington, Sept 15(ANI): Hollywood actor, Richard Gere, is using a bizarre sleep device in order to keep him from snoring.

The actor had checked into a New York "sleep clinic" for his snoring problem, and got a revolutionary headgear as a solution.

"This is a device that fits in your mouth... It forces (your jaw) open and forward, so that your throat stays open, and it's horrific." Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

The star said that the headgear reminds him of the horrific torture devices that were used in a disturbing cult movie, 'A Clockwork Orange'.

"I haven't slept in six months because I have this thing in," he said.

But Gere's efforts have provided a huge relief to his sleep-deprived wife, Carey Lowell.

"It got to the point where she wasn't getting any sleep... so I actually told her one day, `Look, I'm gonna go to the sleep clinic,' he said.

"And she started crying because she was so happy that I was gonna do something about this," he added. (ANI)

Tom Cruise's snoring is the reason why Katie prefers sleeping in separate bedrooms.

Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes are reported to sleep in separate bedrooms, so she doesn't have to suffer the Mission Impossible star snoring.

A source said: "It's a situation that works for both of them".
"In fact, they even joke about having separate bedrooms to their friends – Katie says Tom snores, and this way she can get her beauty sleep!"
"Of course they spend time together alone at night like most married couples; after all, they conceived Suri!"
Apparently, the couple have had this arrangement since the beginning of their relationship, when Holmes moved into their first home in Beverly Hills.
The source added: "At first, it was because Katie was Catholic and single, and they were only dating. It was the proper thing to do."
"Now that they are married, they don't feel the need to alter the arrangement. Tom has his master bedroom, and Katie has hers."
Tom, 45, has rooms in the north wing of their rented Hollywood estate and Katie, 27, in the south.
Another source claimed: "When Katie moved into the house, it was made clear that Tom occupied the north wing of the second floor and that she would occupy a cluster of suites on the south wing of the same floor.
"Katie wanted to make herself feel at home, and she insisted on remodeling her area, which consisted of a study, parlor and large bedroom suite.
"Over the course of several months, Katie created a larger space to have as her own. In the end, she designed the room of her dreams, a very feminine room painted in pastel colors, with a small carousel and filled with many stuffed animals."
Cruise bought their new home, a $35 million Beverly Hills mansion in May. Built in 1937 the 1.3 acre property boasts seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
Sources say it is being remodeled according to Katie's tastes - and the sleeping arrangements are most likely to stay just as they are.
The couple are due to move into a new Beverly Hills home this month.
A friend added: "It's a perfect fit, and Katie is fine with it."
