If your partner’s snoring is the bane of your life, you may not have to get him out of bed to get a good night’s sleep.

A recent viral video from TikTok that received 247,000 views showed NHS doctor Dr. Karan Rajan explaining that couples who want a better night’s rest shouldn’t sleep in the same bed.

But it has since been stated that this could be a little extreme, especially if you feel very comfortable with your loved one.

Sally Bonser silent nighthe has now focused on the matter and offered some useful advice for couples who need a better night’s sleep.

Silentnight spokesperson Sally Bonser said, “A recent viral TikTok video from Dr. Karan Rajan advised couples to sleep in separate beds if they want to get a good night’s sleep, but realistically this may not be practical for many couples.”.

“For those who don’t have the option of sleeping in a separate bed, but want to reap the rewards Dr. Karan mentioned, there are other ways to protect your precious Z.

“Dr. Karan points out that a partner’s snoring can affect our sleep, but instead of kicking them out of the room, why not consider an anti-snoring pillow to try first?

“Silentnight anti-snoring pillows were tested by the British Snoring and Sleep Apnea Association, which found that the pillow reduces the frequency and volume of snoring by around 50%.”

Another thing the NHS doctor was referring to was body temperature.

While sleeping with another person can raise your body temperature, the Silentnight expert says there are “ways to combat this so that your body can reach the core temperature it needs to fall asleep.”

She added: “Cooling pillows and pillow cases help prevent overheating, perfect when you have a welcoming companion to keep you company.

“Alternatively, opt for a double tog duvet so that you and your partner can get comfortable under a duvet that is just the right thickness for both of us.”
