The only more annoying thing than being kept awake all night by a person who snores is when you’re the snorer and your partner is making your existence a misery due to the fact that they could not rest. I’ll tell you why that’s way more annoying. It really is due to the fact that you do not believe you have done anything wrong.

You didn’t hear yourself snore. You probably had enough rest so you feel fresh as a daisy, and if you didn’t, you’re in no mood to get a beating for keeping someone else up accidentally.

The causes of snoring are well known, booze, tobacco, being overweight, and generally those are all long term problems. They will take a while to fix.

Let’s face it, snoring is rather unpleasant. It’s amusing when you’re a kid, your dad is snoring away like a freight train and he’s sitting there with his mouth wide open and you can drop things in so he almost chokes to death and wakes up yelling his head off. For those people who are victims of snoring, it’s not fun and games.

I used to say, ‘just go back to sleep’ when confronted about my snoring, but it isn’t that easy.

There are a fair few anti snoring devices available and I’ll look at 3 of them…

The Chin Strap – It fits over your head and keeps your mouth firmly closed. There’ll be no catching flies for you. It looks a bit strange, but looks are nothing to be concerned about at this stage. Your spouse will be more attracted by the lack of snoring.

The Nasal Strip – It open your nasal passages up allowing easier breathing. These really work instantly. Athletes use them to increase their oxygen supply to their brains and this is only mildly different. You get more air, easier, meaning less struggling for breath.

The Snore Pillow – Positions you so that you are less likely to snore. Supports your neck and head.

For more significant cases of snoring, which includes sleep apnea there are actually machines that can be hooked up to during the night, but that’s something you’d really need to see your health practitioner about.

The ideal program of action is to find out all you can about snoring, its causes, how it can be stopped etc, so that your spouse, partner or lover can get a great night’s rest and be more impressed with your other nocturnal activities.Find out about the causes of snoring and beat them.

Change your lifestyle and in the meanwhile, check out some anti snoring devices which can support in the short term.

Change bed-time back to fun-time by getting rid of at least one of your bad habits. Good luck!
