How to fall asleep when others snore

Whether living in a group or sleeping together as a couple, if one of them snores, it will have a great impact on the sleep quality of the other. When someone snores, it proves that they are in a deep sleep. However, the snoring of others sounds like noise in your ears, which greatly affects your sleep. So how do you fall asleep when someone else is snoring?

What should I do if someone in the dormitory snores?

1. You can buy noise-isolating earplugs and put them in your ears when you sleep. This can effectively block out the outside noise, including the snoring of your roommates. However, you should pay attention to cleaning the earplugs regularly to ensure that they are clean and do not damage your second degree of hearing loss.

2. If you don’t like to use earplugs, you have to develop the habit of going to bed early, at least earlier than your roommates.

3. If you are woken up by your roommate while sleeping, you can go to the bed and gently pinch his nose, or pull off his quilt, or push down his feet to wake him up or turn over. The chance of him snoring when he falls asleep again will be greatly reduced.

4. Some people snore because they are tired, so you should remind your roommates to take a rest. People who have a good rest and are in good spirits are less likely to snore.

5. Good dormitory order is also very helpful in reducing the snoring of roommates. It is best to remind the whole dormitory to rest at 11 o'clock, otherwise it is easy for roommates to snore.

6. Avoid causing conflicts due to minor issues such as snoring. The dormitory is a home in the university. Pay attention to handling the internal relationships in the dormitory.

How to relieve snoring at night?

1. Do not engage in stimulating activities before going to bed: It is best to engage in gentle activities before going to bed, and do not let your emotions become too excited, because your nerves will not be able to relax immediately, making it impossible to get a good rest at night.

2. Sleep: Use the right pillow correctly. Sleeping on your back or stomach will make your respiratory tract less smooth. When sleeping on your side, the relaxed muscles will lean to one side, which is less likely to block your respiratory tract.

3. Avoid smoking, drinking and stimulant drugs: Smoking, drinking and stimulant drugs will relax the muscles more and block the airways.

4. Lose weight: Obese people usually have enlarged nasal polyps, and the flesh in their throats and noses is also thicker, which can more easily block the respiratory tract.

5. Pay attention to your daily living habits: Do not take medication before going to bed to avoid aggravating the inhibition of respiratory center regulation. Patients after surgery should eat soft food and avoid eating overly hot food. Avoid strenuous activity.

6. Pay attention to your sleeping posture: Sleep in a side-lying position, especially on the right side, to avoid the tongue, soft palate, and uvula from relaxing and falling back during sleep, which will aggravate upper airway obstruction. You can put a small ball on your back when sleeping to help force yourself to sleep in a side-lying position.

Note: You must have a correct understanding of the phenomenon of snoring. Don’t ignore it as mild snoring. Correct awareness, active prevention and professional treatment are the best options. The above measures can only help you alleviate the symptoms of snoring. If you want to have a comprehensive and comfortable sleep, curing snoring is the key.
