Snoring help

What do you do if you find yourself sharing a bed (or a room) with someone who snores? A study showed that partners of millions of snorers are kept awake for two hours each night, which equates to two years' lost sleep over the course of an average marriage![1] If you have to deal with someone's snoring every night, encourage them to take steps to stop. In the meantime, here are some quick fixes.
edit Steps


1
Roll the person onto his or her side. People tend to snore less in this position. If possible, make it so that they're at the edge of the bed, facing away from you. (Most people "know" they're at the edge of the bed when they're sleeping and won't fall off.) Put some pillows snugly against their back so that they don't roll back onto their back. Some people even tape or sew a tennis ball or something similar to the back of their partner's shirt, so the person is uncomfortable sleeping on their back, and will go back onto their side without you having to wake up and push them.



2
Muffle the sound with earplugs. If it's too late to buy a pair at the store, you can make temporary earplugs, but make sure that they're big enough to not get stuck inside your ear canal, and leave a tail so you can pull them out easily. Use a dense material that won't shred when you tug on it. Cotton is a bad idea because it can tear easily, and it doesn't muffle much noise anyway. The filters from cigarettes can make good impromptu ear plugs because they're made of a tight foam material. A small, tightly rolled piece of fabric will also work. If it's late and you're tight on options, cut up an old sock or t-shirt, and roll up little pieces.

3
Listen to music with headphones. If you're used to falling asleep to silence, this will be difficult at first, but if you listen to certain music only when it's time to sleep, your body will eventually adapt to the noise and even associate that music with sleepiness. The headphones and earbuds can also double as earplugs, without music.

4
If there is a fan around, put it next to the bed and turn it on. Many people find that the noise made by a fan is effective in drowning out snoring. If you don't have a fan, turning on a computer monitor can have the same effect.

5
Use a nonprescription antihistamine to help you sleep. Do this only as a last resort, as your body quickly develops a tolerance. Read the labels. The main ingredient you're looking for is diphenhydramine. Pain relievers or cold and flu products marketed as nighttime formulas often include analgesics (acetaminophen, ibuprofen), decongestants (like pseudoephedrine), cough suppressants (like dextromethorphan), and sometimes alcohol. Stay away from those unneeded ingredients if you can.[2]

An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous. -Henry Ford.
A cynic is not merely one who reads bitter lessons from the past, he is one who is prematurely disappointed in the future. -Sidney J. Harris
