My partner snores and keeps me awake - some nights I could happily smother him with a pillow. Other nights he doesn't make a sound ..... I am a very light sleeper so when he does snore it wakes me up and I battle to get back to sleep. Usually if I touch him lighly he stops snoring for a while and mostly turning on his side seems to stop it - but sometimes no matter what he snores the whole night through. Anybody have any great ideas to help me get a good nights rest?

ear plugs work great I was on a business course with a lad that snored and ear plugs worked great. Or most snorer's snore when they are sleeping on their backs, so another trick that I have found works is when they are asleep on their side put a shoe behind their backs it stops them from rolling over onto their back and hopefully gives you a better nights sleep. Or more drastic solution is an operation where they use a laser and basically scar the vocal cords causing them to tighten so there isn't as much movement in the cords and it doesn't affect the voice. my ex had this procedure done and it worked a treat.

there are some nasal sprays and other types of sprays I saw on tv the other day. Then also heard that getting them to lay on a pillow helps. Idk how much help that is but I tried.
