No one likes an off key sound track, especially when it’s in the bedroom coming from your partner. As embarrassing as it sounds, old people are not the only ones who snore. More young people are joining the rebel gang of those who blow invincible trumpets with their noses while they sleep. If you want to leave this gang and embrace your inner cool, here’s what you should do:
Change Your Style
Changing your immediate sleeping position can relieve the pressure on your airways. For instance, sleeping on your back may cause your tongue to fall back into your throat and obstruct the passage of air. The result? Snoring.

Staying hydrated also ensures secretions in the nose and soft palate becomes less sticky. Done? Time to have some …
Pillow Talk
Yes, let’s talk pillows. When last did you change your pillows? Allergens may be lurking in them. Again, pillows determine the position of your head, so if the one you use currently isn’t elevating your head to allow for better air flow, then it’s time to ditch it for a better one.

A Doctor will also be able to give you prescriptions necessary to tackle the causative agent if needed. A professional will also be able to diagnose, point out the allergy, recommend therapy where necessary, or anything to make your life (and that of your partner) better at night.

A Crazy Idea
Get a tennis ball and a pocket from old clothes. Sew the tennis ball to the centre back of your pyjamas using the old pocket to hold it place. When you sleep and go into the position of lying on you back, the tennis ball will make you uncomfortable, forcing you to turn and sleep on your side. This is a milder principle better than being jabbed by your sleeping partner, it also forces you to change your style. Bringing us back to solution one.
