Snoring Partner? 5 Things You Should Have For A Good Night's Sleep

Snoring Partner? 5 Things You Should Have For A Good Night's Sleep

Image: FreePik

We all know that getting a good night's sleep is essential for good health. 

Several factors that cause poor sleep quality include stress, anxiety, drinking caffeine too late in the evening, scrolling social media on your phone right before bedtime, and for some people, sleeping next to a snorer.


Although snoring is pretty common worldwide, affecting about 57% of men and 47% of women in the US, it can be frustrating and stressful for someone who sleeps next to a snorer. 


Disruptive, persistent snoring may interrupt their sleep and potentially create tension in the household.

Stopping snoring by strangling your partner is obviously the most immediate solution, but it’s not always easily achieved. 

If you can relate to this frustrating situation, obviously you should get these 5 items to ensure a good night's sleep while saving your marriage/relationship.

1. Anti-Snoring Pillow

Get your snoring partner an anti-snoring pillow.

They come in many shapes, are ergonomically designed to support the head and neck, and can help improve breathing to reduce snoring.

Unlike regular pillows, many are lower in the center and higher on the sides. 

Check out these anti-snoring pillows:

Ann Taylor Anti Snore Memory Pillow



💛 Price: RM89.70 on Shopee
💛 Pressure-relieving memory foam for maximum support of head and neck
💛 Shaped to fit your body ergonomically while side-sleeping
💛 Shaped to align your head and shoulders

Therapedic Anti-Snore Pillow


💛 Price: RM158.00 on SHOPEE
💛 Made of 100% natural latex
💛 Ergonomically designed for optimum support of the natural curve of the spine
💛 Anti- Mite, free from fungus, bacteria, and mildew
💛 Suits fit back, stomach, and side sleepers - covers everyone in the family no matter their sleep orientation

It may seem like a loving gesture that you want them to sleep better but you sneakily also wanted them to stop snoring so you can finally sleep peacefully. 

Heh Heh Heh *evil laugh*

2. Foam earplugs

Foam earplugs are made from a soft material that will form to fit your ear canal. They are relatively cheap and can be easily purchased in-store or online.

It can be quite difficult to find the right earplugs so you may need to purchase quite a few different brands until you find the right set that works for you.

Shop on Shopee:
💛 RM0.50 per pair
💛 cute colours
💛 comes in a casing - convenient for traveling
💛 made from soft foam
💛 comfortable 

3M 1100 Disposable Ear Plug

💛 RM0.55 per pair
💛 Pretty standard colours - orange/yellow
💛 No individual casing but comes in individual packaging
💛 made from soft, hypoallergenic foam
💛 comfortable 

Personally, 3M earplugs are a little bit scratchy for my liking and preferred a softer, squishy type. But that's just me.

Anyway, a tiny setback of the earplug solution for snoring partners is that it only works if the snorer is not loud.

And they tend to fall out of your ears if not inserted properly into the ear canal.

3. Noise Cancelling Headphones or Earmuffs

A good earmuff provides excellent protection against noises, including one coming from a snoring partner. 

Headphones usually work better than earplugs because of their noise-cancelling properties.

You will also need to find wireless headphones with the right balance between comfort and noise cancellation. 

3M Peltor X5A Earmuff



💛 Price RM265.00 on Shopee
💛 Exceptional noise reduction (NRR 31dB)
💛 Lightweight, well built & secure 
💛 Comfortable wide, soft foam ear cushion 
💛 Fit both small and large heads

On the flip side, this earmuff is a bit bulky and can be uncomfortable for side sleepers.

Sony WH-1000XM4


This headphone is perfect if you want to block out snoring noise while listening to soothing sounds to help you sleep.

💛 Price RM999.00-RM1149.00 on Shopee
💛 Active noise-canceling
💛 Lightweight and comfortable
💛 Automatic head detection mode
💛 Super portable with long battery life - up to 30 hours
💛 Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 Spatial Sound

A bit pricey but that's a small price to pay for a good night's sleep I guess.

Pros of a noise-cancelling headphones:

  • Excellent noise-cancelling properties
  • Can be used for work, traveling, public places

Cons of a noise-cancelling headphones:

  • Uncomfortable for long-wearing, side or front sleepers
  • Pricey

4. Air Humidifier 

So how does air humidifier helps reduce snoring?

Humidifiers can help snoring triggered by breathing in dry air. When the air in your bedroom is dry, it can cause the nose, throat and mouth to become dry.  

Dry air also stimulates your body to produce more mucus, which can lead to nasal congestion. 

Most of the time, this dry air is filled with allergens like dust that can irritate the airways.

And when the mucous membrane in your throat and nose become irritated, they often become inflamed which makes your airways more restricted and narrow. 

This restricted airway causes snoring at night.

OEM/MUJI-inspired Ultrasonic Air Humidifier/Aroma Diffuser


💛 Price RM15.00- RM104.90 on Shopee 
💛 500ml water tank that can last up to 10 hours of use
💛 Can be used with essential oils
💛 Timer setting feature 60 mins, 180 mins or 360 mins
💛 2 adjustable mist setting
💛 7 colours setting

Xiaomi Mijia 4L Air Humidifier


💛 Price RM85 on SHOPEE for standard version 4L
💛 4L water tank capacity
💛 Silver ion, 99% anti-bacterial
💛 3 mist adjustment
💛 Sleek design that will look great in the living room or bedroom

While air humidifier helps with snoring caused by dry air, it's only a temporary fix and does not work if snoring is caused by other factors such as sleep apnea or obesity. 

5. White Noise Machine

A good white noise machine can mask moderate snoring noise. 

How does it work?

It works by reducing the difference between background noise (your bedroom without snoring) and startling snoring noise.

In other words, it masks snoring noise with another noise, making it almost unnoticeable.  

Some machines also have soothing sounds that work by distracting your ears (and brain) and calming you down. 

ORIA White Noise Machine

💛 Price RM63.00 on SHOPEE 
💛 24 soothing sounds including 7 white noises, 7 fan sound effects, 10 relaxing natural sounds (birds, waves, creeks, lullabies, music boxes, campfires, rain, etc.)
💛 30/60/90s Auto-Off Timer Function
💛 Memory Function
💛 USB Rechargeable
💛 5 Adjustable Brightness

LectroFan High Fidelity White Noise Machine


💛 Price RM215.66 on AMAZON
💛 10 fan sounds and 10 ambient noise variations, including White noise, Pink noise and brown noise
💛 Powered by AC or USB
💛 Precise volume control

Pros of a noise machine:

  • you don’t need to wear anything over or in your ears
  • Some machines have soothing nature sounds that are relaxing

Cons of a noise machine:

  • Need to train yourself to sleep with noise
  • Tend to be pricey

I would really love to know if any of these works for you in the comment section below.

If all else fails, remember the old adage about how desperate times call for desperate measures, you might have to sleep in a different room.

Or get a different partner 😁

Sunlight Suite: Introvert's Heaven In Cameron Highland

 Sunlight Suite: Introvert's Heaven In Cameron Highland I told myself I'll not revisit Cameron Highlands since it became so crowded, busy, and overdeveloped in recent years. I might have changed my mind after I found this beautiful hidden gem. Honestly, it really is challenging to find a place that ticks all the boxes for an ideal introvert's getaway in a touristy place like Cameron Highlands. With lots of research, you can and for me, that place is Sunlight Suite . Going on a long weekend, I already mentally prepared myself for the infamous non-moving weekend traffic jam in Cameron Highlands.  "Going to Cameron on a long weekend?! You crazy ahh?!" my friend said.  But to my surprise, the traffic was pretty smooth. It also helps that I departed quite late from KL (3pm-ish) via Tapah route and reached Sunlight Suite around 7pm.  Little English Cottage In The Tropics Moonlight Bungalow Picture credit to https://www.sunlightsuite.com/moonlight-bungalow/   Sunlight...

Amboi Kemain Kau Hakak

Uols pernah tak jumpa manusia muka tebal yang meminta pertolongan uols tetapi no common sense, common courtesy whatsoever? Demanding lagi pulak tu Iols dah experience dalam kisah Amboi Kemain Kau Makcik . Kisah kali ini bukan dialami oleh CPPS tetapi kawan gym iols, yang kita namakan Jay. Beberapa minggu yang lepas, Jay ajak iols berFriday-Night kat Havana, Changkat dengan beberapa orang kawan dia.  Although I'm tempted to join, but the thought of a nice home-cooked dinner, followed by a cup of coffee while watching movie in the comfort of my own home is more inviting. Plus she's going with friends of her friend, people who I don't really know. So I said no. Bila iols jumpa Jay lagi beberapa hari lepas tu kat gym, iols tanyalah "How was Havana?" Belum lagi dia jawab soalan iols, dia pulak tanya soalan kat iols "After clubbing right, you go home or go somewhere else like hotel ke apa?" " I go home lah. If I go clubbing, it...
