Snoring Grandparents: Block them out with Ear plugs

Posted on by

Every Christmas Eve the grandparents stay the night to enjoy Christmas day with the children. Watching them open presents they have received from Santa and later in the day opening presents from the family.

However, the spare room shares a patrician wall with my bedroom and they have a tendency to snore quite a lot. This makes it quite hard for my husband and me to sleep.  The children are already very excited about Christmas so being woken up in the early hours seems likely.

So to make it easier for us this year I have bought some sleeping ear plugs. It will block the sounds coming from the spare room and allow us to sleep peacefully, well until Santa comes that is. Hopefully, come Christmas Eve these ear plugs will work their magic and my husband and I can have a good night’s sleep, revived for the day’s activities.

Get a good night’s sleep

Sleep is a critical when trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle. You are expected to have 7-9 hours sleep per night to allow your body to rest and restore itself after the day’s activities. This can be extremely hard to maintain especially if you are a light sleeper when the nights are becoming a lot lighter or you have a partner who likes to snore.

It is estimated that over 1 billion people, with the US, Germany and the UK estimating to represent over 70 million snores alone with 60% of snorers being male whilst 40% are women. So if we take into account that there are over 1 billion snores out there and say for arguments sake they have significant others, there are also over 1 billion people who suffer from a bad night’s sleep due to their partners sleeping. This brings to the total of over 2 billion people in the world that do not have the much needed sleep their bodies require.

A simple yet effective way to help those with getting a good night’s sleep is the use of sleep and snoring earplugs. Not only will these earplugs allow you to block out the sounds of your snoring partner, but also the sound of ongoing traffic and other noisy factors.

For those who can’t sleep due to the nights getting lighter a simple solution is wearing a night shade. I have found they are extremely comfortable to wear as I even forgot I had it on and woke up thinking it was still late at night.
