If your partner snores too much, do not make a judgement about it. It is obvious snoring irritates everyone, but you should try to get used to this sound and never let your partner know that his snoring is disturbing you. Other it increases your stress and makes you feel worried.
“I can hear a rattle, a snort, a whisper, a wheeze” or “It starts soft and gets loud”. Describing it in this objective and non-judgmental way releases you from its emotional grip and increases the chance of actually sleeping,” says an expert.
“So next time you hear snoring, aim to describe the pitch, volume, tempo, crescendo, and other objective characteristics. Over time, responding to snoring in this way can help to lessen its negative impact on your own sleep,” this expert adds.
