Is night. You have to be asleep. But you are not. Because the partner, who is lying next to you: snores! So what can you do but pray for it to rest?

1. Do not focus on snoring noise

Yes, this seems easier said than done. Sometimes, however, you can use the power of the mind and train yourself to ignore or minimize snoring noise. There are several strategies through which you can try to distract yourself like meditation or listening to a podcast.

2. Put ear plugs

One of the easiest and fastest solutions is to put earplugs.

3. Listen to music or "white noise"

"White noise" refers to applications or devices that emit a continuous background noise that drowns out other sounds. Some examples are the sound of ocean waves. You can download applications with "white noise".

4. Change the position of the partner

For some people, sleeping in a supine position - that is, lying on your back - affects snoring. Sometimes it works to simply change your sleeping position and stop snoring. Also consider pillows that help position the neck and back properly.

5. Encourage your partner to visit

A visit to the doctor can determine possible causes of snoring as well as treatment alternatives.

6. Sleep in another room

When all else fails, you may need to sleep in another room overnight. Do not feel bad if you choose this option, especially if it works. Some studies even support you as there is evidence to suggest that sleeping in separate rooms has a positive effect.
