How to Deal With a Snoring Partner ?

Do you sometimes feel like you sleep with a chainsaw at night? A snoring partner can drive you mad and although the subject is often the butt of jokes, snoring can become a real source of trouble in a relationship. After all, your partner is soundly, though loudly, sleeping away and you are left to toss and turn the night through. Is there any hope for a good night's slumber?

Here are a few tricks you can use to deal with a snoring partner:

Sew a tennis ball into his nightshirt. That doesn't sound too comfortable, right? That's the whole point. Every time your partner rolls onto his back, the tennis ball will make him uncomfortable so he will roll back onto his side. In essence, the tennis ball takes over your job of jabbing him to stop snoring.

Buy your partner a didgeridoo. Studies have indicated that playing this musical instrument tones and strengthens the muscles inside the throat so they are less likely to collapse and cause snoring whilst sleeping.

Limit alcohol and smoking close to bedtime. That night time toddy may contribute to your partner's snoring. Alcohol causes over-relaxation of the throat muscles and smoking causes the throat to become dry. Both of these effects contribute to snoring.

Put your partner on a diet. Obesity is a leading cause of snoring. Even losing a little weight may be enough to allow you a decent night's sleep. While waiting on him to lose weight, prop the head of your bed up on blocks or place a pillow wedge under your mattress. Sleeping in an elevated position uses gravity to keep the excess weight from pressing on the throat and causing snoring.

You can always sleep in another room, but what is the use of having a partner if he can't keep your back warm at night? Don't give up. Most cases of snoring can be dealt with if both of you work towards a solution. Why not get him to try the Adkins snoring aid?
