Conquering Snoring Together: A 6-Week Guide for Sleep Partners
Your partner is tackling their snoring with an oral sleep device, which is amazing. But listen, the first few weeks might feel like a climb. Don't worry, this guide will help you be their snoring-squashing sidekick.
Why the First 6 Weeks Matter
Imagine trying a brand new workout – your muscles get sore before you see results, right? Same with sleep devices. It might take a bit of time for things to feel comfy, and you might not hear total silence overnight immediately (sorry!).
But here's the key: consistent nightly use is like magic. It helps your partner adjust and find the perfect "sweet spot" for the device. Most people see a significant improvement after 6 weeks of constant use, and many people will see improvement much earlier than that
Why Slow and Steady Wins the Sleep Race?
Skipping ahead through the settings can lead to jaw discomfort, not a good look (or feeling!). By slowly increasing the setting every week, your partner's body has time to get used to the new sleeping situation. Think of it like training for a snoring marathon - gotta build up endurance!
How You Can Be a Sleep Superhero
You're already a champion for choosing to support your partner. Here are some ways you can help:
- Be a Gentle Reminder. Life gets busy. Sometimes a friendly nudge can help your partner remember to wear the device every night.
- Cheer Them On! Did the snoring sound a little less like a freight train? Provide encouragement and celebrate any progress, even if it's small.
- Track Your Sleep Adventures: Fill out our weekly partner questionnaire. This helps track how your sleep (and your partner's snoring!) is improving.
Remember, a good night's sleep for your partner means a good night's sleep for you too! With your support, your partner will conquer snoring and you'll both be well on your way to dreamland.
