Sleep apnea is a medical condition characterized by abnormal pauses in breathing or instances of abnormally low breathing, during sleep. Snoring is often a symptom of those who suffer from sleep apnea.
So consider the real possibilities of law suits against a hotel that has begun cracking down on loud snorers staying in their facilities.
We now have the snore police walking through one hotel chain. Known as "snore patrols", Crowne Plaza is cracking down on snoring.
"Snore monitors" patrol corridors in the designated quiet zones of Crowne Plaza hotels in the cities of London, Leeds and Manchester. Their job is to listen out for offensive noises and knock on the door of guests who snore too loudly.
"We have quiet zones on two floors of the hotel. As Snore Monitor, I conduct floor walks to check for noise disruptions, paying particular attention to the quiet zone rooms," said Laura Simpson, Snore Monitor at Leeds Crowne Plaza hotel in northern England.
"Guests can ask to stay our quiet zone rooms if they are particularly light sleepers."
However, repeat offenders will be offered an alternative room away from the "quiet zone" for their next stay.
This will be interesting to see if someone does call discrimination upon getting a knock on their door.
