How to Get Peace at Night If Your Spouse is Snoring: 10 Tips
If your spouse snores, take some comfort in the fact you’re not alone. According to the British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association, 41.5% of the UK adult population snore, and 58% of these are between 50-59 years of age. While you can’t personally stop your spouse from snoring, there are some suggestions you could make to them to try to rectify the situation. 1. Roll him over If your spouse tends to sleep on his back, this position can make snoring worse, as it can position his tongue towards the back of his throat, thereby blocking his airflow. Shifting your partner’s sleeping position to side sleeping is often the first line of defense recommended by health experts. 2. Sew a tennis ball into the back of your spouse’s pyjamas This will make it uncomfortable for your spouse to lie on their back, which is the position most likely to trigger snoring. Instead, the snoring partner will be forced to sleep on their side and will therefore be less likely to snore.
