The worst snorers in Britain are set to attend a special boot camp next month which it's hoped could cure them.
More than 200 people applied for just six places on the military-style weekend - which the chosen few will attend with their sleep-deprived partners.
Participants will be banned from smoking and drinking alcohol, and be forced to comply with a strict diet and training regime, reports The Sun.
A strict Sergeant Major will even be on hand to make sure no-one smuggles in any fags or booze.
Those taking part will also have the volume of their snores measured and be examined by ear, nose and throat specialists.
A spokesman from the organisers, Help Stop Snoring, said: "Snoring can ruin lives. For some a boot camp is the only option.
"The aim is to provide as much advice and information as possible to the selected snorers and their families, helping them to reduce or stop the problem altogether.
"It's going to be tough, but the results will be worth it."
The spokesman added: "This is not a trivial problem. The spouses of some snorers are at the end of their tether."
More camps could follow if the weekend is a success.
