How to Handle a Roommate that Snores
Maybe it’s not your roommate, maybe it’s your partner, but whoever snores in your home is probably keeping you up at night (which may also be why you’re reading this!). There’s nothing worse than waking up feeling more tired than you did when you went to sleep, but if you’re stuck with a snorer, sleepless nights might start to feel like the norm.
There are some things that you can do to curb someone’s snoring, but you can also act on your own to make that noise more bearable too. If you’re plain fed up with that loud noise at night, check out these options for better sleep.
- Ear plugs: You can find ear plugs at any pharmacy, and they work relatively well if you wear them every night. The only time that ear plugs don’t work is if you have to be able to hear what’s happening in your home. If you have kids, plugs probably aren’t the best option.
- White noise: You can try to create some white noise by turning on a fan, running a humidifier, or finding something else that creates continuous background noise.
- Try to become a better sleeper: If you do wake up during the night, don’t look at any kind of device. The glare from a screen can really mess with your sleep cycles. Putting away electronics before bed will help a lot too. If your partner or roommate is going to snore, you can at least try to fall into a deeper sleep.
- Buy a bigger bed: If you do sleep with the person that snores, sometimes a larger bed will do the trick. In some cases, giving that person (or yourself) more room to move around will make a difference.
- Purchase a humidifier: Sometimes, the air inside can be really dry, and this can lead to snoring. If you live in a colder climate that’s dry during the wintertime, a humidifier might make a world of difference.
- Tell your partner/roommate that he or she snores: Ask them if they’d consider wearing a nose strip or nose plug. If you notice that the person you live with snores and gasps for breath during the night, this could also be dangerous, so ask them to have their snoring checked out by a doctor. You may just save someone’s life!
Moving in with a roommate or partner that snores can be tough, and not sleeping at night can really take a toll on your body. Try to do as much as you can to sleep better by becoming a better sleeper, and test out some of the methods listed above. While it’s not ideal to sleep in another room, sometimes moving to the couch at night may mean a better night’s sleep, and that’s vital!
Moving In With Someone New
It’s always an adventure (and a challenge) to move in with someone for the first time. You may not know about those bad habits that the other person has (like snoring), but you will find a way to adjust over time. Even though you can’t prepare for things that are unknown, you can prepare in advance for moving day by hiring moving experts to handle all of the small details (at least that part of your new life won’t be a surprise!).
