Half asleep in an unfamiliar bedroom, I woke up with a beautiful chic beside me. The night before was a blast and that morning felt more awesome. I saw her leaning towards me about to breathe something to my ear. I anticipated a good morning my dear but she said the most embarrassing thing. You know what; everything was great last night except that, well, you snore a lot .
It was a major bummer and I should have expected it.
I knew I had the snore ever since. But nobody complained, so I didn t care much about it. This was the first time a date of mine complained after sleeping with me. In majority of my sleepovers , the girl fell asleep first.
Sleeping position was no longer an option for me. I tried psyching myself into sleeping on my side, but it seems it didn t work that much. I tried a snoring pillow, sleeping on either side of the bed and using pillows when I m alone. But when I m on a night out with someone, it s a whole different ball game. Obviously, I don t have the option to bring my snoring pillow. So sleeping on your side is not a snoring solution for me.
I could have tried chin straps but what s the use? That doesn t seem too alluring and attractive when you re on a one night stand. So chin straps are also a NO for a possible snoring cure.
Another snoring solution I tried was nasal decongestants. They worked indeed, but I couldn t risk my health and liver taking meds all the time. Herbal tea was also another option. However it didn t work 100%.
After finding out that snoring was caused by the tightening of throat muscles, I also learned that a healthier lifestyle could be the best solution. Cutting down on meat, alcohol and smoking worked wonders for me. After burning those calories and cutting down on body fat, my snoring stopped and I was back on top of my game.
