Snoring sucks! No one wishes to hear a snore louder than an electric jackhammer at 3:30 in the morning.
Much as we love the person sleeping next to us, snoring is a major sleep disrupter. For a light sleeper or just someone who values their sleep after a long day, it could lead to a grumpy and exhausting morning. A sleep-deprived person have a tendency to view things more negatively and this is NOT a good sign for a relationship.
It’s not their fault, they never want to snore, but it’s definitely not your fault either if you found it annoying. So what can you do?
Understanding What Causes Snoring
There are many factors, either medical or habit related, but either way, it is caused by having a narrowed airway, where the tissue vibrates as you breathe in and out. In knowing this, you will find the most suitable solution for your - and your partner - sleep:
Change their position
In another way, slightly move them when they snore. Sleeping on the back for too long causes the flesh of their throat to relax and block the airway. Changing their sleep posture at that moment helps.
Change their pillow
Low quality or soft pillow which makes the user sink under bed, or neck too high above is a guarantee of bad sleepin posture. A Good Pillow is especially crucial for people who snore.
Try using cervical pillow like The Purpose™ Deep Sleep Pillow, designed to align the head, neck and spine while you're sleeping, which increases airflow through into lung capacity and reduce forceful snores
Have a more healthy and active lifestyle
Fatty tissue and weak muscles contribute to tension around the airway, causing snoring too. So being out of shape might be a reason your partner is having these bad phenomena
Other tips
Some people have serious medical conditions that make them snores repetitively the whole night. That doesn’t mean you can’t have good sleep. Found a way to disconnect the noise, maybe a different sleep schedule, using earplugs if you are an incredible light sleeper, even sleeping apart. Many people got used to it over time too!
