A Sturdy Relationship Begins During Sleep - How To Combat Snoring

By Sally Barber

It's not fun to lose sleep only because you happen to share a room with someone who snores. Just think what will happen to you every night if your roommate snores? It won't be a good night every night. The snorer isn't affected that much because he doesn't even hear the sound while he is sleeping.

Snoring may be hilarious in TV sitcoms and in jokes but in real life, it is a very serious topic. It produces strain to relationships. You're very fortunate if you have a spouse who can sleep through heavy noises at night. But if that's not the case, then your spouse probably doesn't enjoy the lovely days ahead after having sleepless nights.

It's not a question of whether you really love your snoring partner or not. What matters is that you, as the non-snorer, are being denied of a good and straight sleep at night. It makes you think that your spouse is being a little selfish by sleeping peacefully while you lie awake at night, anxious for a sleep.

Snoring may be unintentional, but there are steps you can do to prevent it. If you are the one who snores, try following these steps:

The first thing to do is lose weight. As mean as this appears, studies have learned that obesity plays a big factor in making you snore. Avoid or lessen drinking and smoking as well. Without intoxicants, you muscles can loosen more. Smoking increases overcrowding in your throat, lungs, and nasal passageways, blocking the otherwise smooth flow of air.

Another option is to try donning chin straps. The device holds your mouth together so you are forced to breathe through your nose while you sleep. There are also snorers who tried hypnosis, but not everyone can verify its efficiency.

It is still better to consult an Ear-Nose-Throat doctor. ENT doctors can check your throat if you have enlarged tonsils, which can be responsible for your problem. Other swollen tissues may also be the culprit.

Some may find the said measures not only bothersome but also expensive. However, if you care about your partner, then no step is too bothersome or expensive for you. Think about it, even though you think you're not the one who suffers with your snoring (you do, there are health dangers with snoring), you are letting your loved one suffer every night. And with one of you unhappy and stressed, your relationship will plummet.
