You’ve no doubt heard of Bob Vila. He’s the legendary and real-life do-it-yourself handyman and builder who plays the arch nemesis of Tim Allen in the long running TV sitcom, ‘Home Improvements’. What you might NOT have heard is that Bob is now building ’snoring rooms’ in new houses.
According to his website, “The new trend in homebuilding appears to be an attached sleeping room where the snorer or spouse can grab those needed, quiet hours of rest. Not a bedroom, it’s really like a sleeping niche attached to the bedroom. Decorators and homebuilders are touting its advantages. Sleep specialists and work experts are praising the benefits for those who actually gain the ability to get a night’s rest. Real estate agents see it as the hot home trend for 2007. To achieve it, some sleep-starved homeowners are taking sitting areas and adding a sleeper sofa or daybed, while others are carving out space for a small bed and chair. Experts say it may save marriages and preserve jobs. After all, who needs to swat a spouse all night then aim for peak performance at the office the next morning? Think about it… the snoring room could be the new need-to-have item of the year.”
