If you’re a snorer (or share a room with someone who is), you’ve likely tried a myriad of remedies to reduce the noise you’re making through the night. There are things like anti-snore pillows and nose strips, but sometimes it can be resolved with something pretty basic: how you sleep.
Dr Hana Patel, NHS GP and resident sleep expert at Time4Sleep, explains how snoring can affect us. “Snoring can be detrimental to those we share a space with, and they can sometimes become damaging to our relationships due to a build up of frustration and accumulated lack of sleep, as well as impacting on the physical and mental health of the person experiencing a sleep shortage,” she says.
