*Sleep can be hard to come by when Your Partner Snores, we hope this collaborative post is helpful if it’s an issue you are dealing with*
It is important for both our mental and physical wellbeing that we get a good night’s sleep. But if you share a bed with a snorer, then this can pretty much seem impossible. There is nothing worse than lying awake all night, unable to drift off to sleep because your partner is sleeping soundly through their own snoring.
However, it is important that you tackle your partner’s snoring problem head on. Leaving it to disrupt both your sleep, and your relationship can cause permanent resentment between you and your partner. So, here are our top tips on how to finally get some sleep when your partner snores.
Go to Bed First
While it is next to impossible to get to sleep when your partner is snoring loudly next to you, it may be a bit easier if you head up to bed first, so that you can get settled and get some rest before your partner joins you. Even though this won’t stop it from them potentially waking you up during the night, it may enable you to get some sleep initially.
You may even find that if you are a deep enough sleeper, you can sleep through your partner’s snoring and still manage to get a good night’s rest.
Wear Ear Plugs
Sometimes there is nothing else for it, you just need to put in some ear plugs, and hope that you can block out the sound as best you can. If your partner snores, then the loud noises they make can cause you sleepless nights. So, we recommend that you get a high-quality pair of earplugs that are completely noise cancelling and will block out the noise instead of just muffling the sound. You also want to make sure you invest in good ear plugs so that you can use them over and over and be sure that they won’t fall out during the night.
Invest in Some Sleep Products
While there are many sleep products on the market that are aimed at solely those who snore at night, you can also get some products that have positive benefits for non-snorers too. SomniFix Strips are great at helping to reduce open-mouth snoring, and improve your sleep quality, whether you suffer from snoring or not. They can also help to reduce discomforts that can disrupt your sleep at night, such as a dry mouth, nasal congestion, and a sore throat caused by mouth breathing while you sleep.
Buy Them an Anti-Snore Pillow
You should also consider investing in an anti-snore pillow for your partner, to try and ease how bad their snoring is at night, and so that you can try to get a better night’s sleep yourself. Anti-snore pillows are effective as they are designed to create the right position for their head. This allows for the head and neck to be fully supported to open up their airwaves more and hopefully reduce snoring.
Try Using a White Noise Machine
If you just can’t seem to get a good night’s sleep when you share a bed with your snoring partner, then we recommend that you consider using a white noise machine at night. While this won’t do anything to prevent the snoring, it will help to drown out the sounds that are keeping you from falling asleep. They have been highly effective for those with insomnia, as they can successfully create a peaceful and calm environment conducive to sleep.
It is essential that you talk to your partner about how their snoring keeps you awake at night, and that as a couple you find ways to ensure that you both get a good night’s rest.
