snoring room
n.— «Benjamin Schreier, one of the partners of Affiniti Architects in Boca Raton, is working on custom designs for two couples in Palm Beach County that include what some folks call “snoring rooms.” The area where the snorer can retreat is a large sitting room or office off the master bedroom with a chaise or a sofa that the person sleeps on. They are separated from the bedroom with French doors.» —“The suite life” by Charlyne Varkonyi Schaub Sun-Sentinel (Fort Lauderdale, Florida) May 12, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
