That Awkward Moment When You Start Snoring During a Spa Massage


I love nothing more than pampering myself, aesthetically speaking. The Diva in me must do something for myself as it relates to my mind, body, and soul, at least once a month. A facial, manicure or pedicure, whatever the case, I make sure to indulge. So on Friday, I took advantage of my free schedule and booked a Signature Massage at one of my favorite day spas in the St. Louis area. I hadn’t had a full massage since March, and it’s been a little hectic in my world, so I knew I was due. When I get a good massage, it’s like a stress reliever for me. My headaches go away, my muscles relax, and I feel like a million bucks. It’s for the betterment of the world that I get a massage every now and then—because if not, well…let’s just say mama ain’t happy.

I had never experienced a Signature Massage before with hot stones and aromatherapy, so I was looking forward to this treat. I wanted a 75 minute experience that would make my toes curl and my knees buckle. A little bit of heaven on earth in the form of Swedish massage.

Stevie, my massage therapist had the Midas touch with her hands, and I instantly fell into a bliss type of situation during the first 10 minutes of the massage. The music was tranquil and her technique was on point. Nirvana, I tell you.

And then, it kind or sort of happened. I must’ve zoned out and fell asleep during the massage. I can tell you, I hardly ever fall asleep during a massage because my mind is usually always racing—what is on my to-do list? Where do I have to go next? What projects are due? It’s hard to fully submit to the feeling of the massage because my mind never stops. So when I noticed I fell asleep (for I think at least 20 minutes), I was certainly surprised.

And as I came to, I was awakened by the sound of myself—snoring loudly. Bear like. Grizzly.

Yes, your girl was snoring during the massage. And I had a tad bit of drool coming out the side of my mouth too. It was so gross! I was certainly embarrassed as I hoped that I wasn’t the first person Stevie had encountered who snored and drooled during their massage.

I so tried to play it off by giggling a little and acting like I was making noises, and not snoring. But I am sure I wasn’t fooling anyone. I was in this nicely maintained posh day spa on the upper echelon part of town and I was snoring and drooling and acting like a peasant. How dare I!

I managed to stay awake for the rest of the massage, but it was hard to do. I almost drifted back to sleep a few times but I caught myself. I had already embarrassed myself once before. Falling into another deep sleep and then talking to myself and snoring and drooling would’ve been a bit too much.

Afterwards, Stevie left the room and I got dressed, feeling all wiggly legged and spry. I was so embarrassed by my performance in the massage room and hoping that she wasn’t outside sharing my faux pas with the other employees.

{AWKWARD}

So a big old A for Stevie and her magic hands. And a big old FAIL for me and my snoring and drooling activities. I am not sure if I will be able to show my face at that day spa ever again.

Oh, the pain!

Has something like this ever happened to you? Am I the only person to snore and drool during a massage at a day spa? Please share your stories so I don’t feel as bad!

    Girl, every time I get a facial I fall asleep. My last one had me in a deep sleep. She had to rouse me and let me know it was over.
    LOL

    You are not alone! I almost always pass out and you know what – I hope they take it as a compliment. When I do couples massages with my husband I always apologize to him in advance lol

    Honestly, I would have to think that’s like the ultimate complement to a massage therapist. If they can get you so relaxed you nod off then they know theyve done something right. I bet they share but only for bragging rights 😉

    Nothing wrong with that. Your masseuse probably didn’t even care because it’s happened more times than you think. I’ve dozed off at many a massage session and I’m pretty sure that my husband has fallen asleep a lot as well.

    My secret: I have yet to do a “spa day” (I know, shame on me!!)

    The whole idea makes me so nervous!! I might push past my feelings about it to give it a try for my birthday. –*Might.* 😉

    It’s happened to me several times and the massage therapist was always considerate. I’ve been gently nudged awake by them because it was time to roll over or change position.
    That means you really needed to wind down and relax.
