Do you want to know a big secret? Do you promise not to tell? My husband becomes a mouth breather when he sleeps! Thankfully the noise isn’t freight train crashing through your house loud but loud enough. You would think after 14 years of marriage (this October), I would have had devised a built in a switch that blocks that sound out of my head. Unfortunately, I have not.
I totally understand what my grandfather loves about being able to turn off his hearing aids. You don’t ALWAYS need to hear. At the flip of a switch, he gets peace and quiet, which sounds pretty nice sometimes. I’m not quite at the hearing aid stage of my life just yet but I have learned some tricks on how to sleep great along the way. A good night’s sleep tonight helps ensure tomorrow is a good day for everyone! Trust me, no one wants to see a cranky mommy.
Stop The Noise Before It Starts
When my husband is making a racket over on his side of the bed that’s ALL I can hear. I completely zone into that noise and can’t sleep. I just keep hearing it. To make him stop I have to either kick him and tell him to turn over or stop the noise BEFORE it starts. To do this I have him put on the Breathe Right® Nasal Strips I purchased at my local Walmart before he goes to sleep.
These nasal strips are designed to instantly relieve nasal congestion by gently opening nasal passages with a spring-like band. This gives you better airflow allowing you to breathe better so you can sleep better. It totally does the job!
I also love how they are completely drug-free and safe to use with any medication. This means they are great to use with colds and allergies, too. Breathe Right Nasal Strips instantly open your nose up to 38% more than using just cold or allergy medicines.
Applying Breathe Right Nasal Strips is Easy
Wash and Dry your nose.
Remove the liner and place on your nose. Not too high or too low. Right above the flare of your nostrils.
Press down the ends and gently rub to secure.
Simply remove in the morning when washing your face or taking a shower. Slowly loosen/lift the strip from both sides.
Some kind of switch goes off when you tell kids it’s bedtime. All of a sudden they are hungry and thirsty or forgot about a homework assignment. Whatever it is, it’s there to stall bedtime. One would think this would end once everyone is in bed, but not always. Sometimes you have little ones coming in your room right when you are about to fall asleep because their favorite stuffed animal is downstairs or just to ask if you can check on them.
The key to stopping kids from interrupting your sleep is to make sure they go to bed much earlier than you do. I recommend at least 30 minutes to an hour earlier or however long it takes them to fall asleep. This helps keep interruptions to a minimum.
The Bedtime Trick
If you partner is a mouth breather like mine, you always could go to bed at different times. I’ve noticed once I’m asleep his noise doesn’t bother me, but if I’m awake, that’s a different story. So sometimes I lay with our son until my husband is ready to go to bed. By the time he comes and gets me, I immediately pass out in our bed and don’t have time to enjoy the sounds of the night. What a shame!
Get Relaxed
Sometimes we can’t sleep because we are too wound and our brains are going a mile a minute. Something that helps me relax are essential oils like lavender and chamomile. I personally use a sleep blend for my children and I. I start my diffuser about an hour before bedtime, and within 30 minutes, we are out cold.
Not Too Hot Not Too Cold
The temperature plays an important role in my sleep. If I am too hot, I sleep awful, yet if I am too cold I just toss the whole night. Finding the perfect temperature will help you sleep. I personally like being tucked in covers with cooler air around me. That way if I get too hot I can just stick a foot out, and equalize my temperature. Works like a charm!

sleep is very important and I value mine big time, I need to get this for my partner as he makes so much noise when his sleeping so I have to sleep first and then he follows otherwise I wont sleep
haha! We used to try this but it takes me forever to fall asleep. So we go for the strips and that way we don’t have to do an odd timing thing. Good luck, I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
i would love to try this for my husband, he is the same most of the time but i can sleep. but i would love to try if this works for him as it works to you. thanks for sharing this idea
Thankfully my partner and I don’t have any of these issues apart from he likes to be wrapped in bed clothes as hes cold and I like to kick them all of as I’m too hot
My sweetie used to loud-snore really badly, so much so that I’d have to sleep in the living room sometimes because I couldn’t take it. We never tried anything for it, but over time, he just stopped. Glad to hear you found something that works!
They’re even great for people who don’t snore. I have a friend who has terrible sinuses and uses them just to breathe clearer. They really do helping anyone and everyone!
I have heard so many good things about Breathe Right strips. My husband only snores when he’s downright exhausted, and even then it’s tolerable. I sleep right through it!
This is a great tips! I know how it feels like when my hub snore especially when he was too tired. I really like the tips you mentioned. I think many people will find this helpful.
When they’re overly tired, it’s hard to wake them up to have them adjust so they’re not snoring anymore. I always wonder how my husband has a throat left he snores so hard. Thankful for the strips!
These work great for my husband. He tried them out last year I think it was, and loved them. I haven’t tried them yet, but glad to see they work for you too!
I’m glad your husband found some relief! I know my husband was pretty thankful for them and so was I! You should try them, you would really enjoy them.
There’s a link for a free sample if you would like to try it beforehand! I know I’m always afraid to spend the money if I’ve never tried something before.
October Is Depression Awareness Month
We have tried these with my husband and they did help a little.
I’m glad they helped. It’s crazy how fixing a bit of breathing and airways will help so dramatically!
Breathe Right was a lifesaver when I lived with my brother. You could hear him snoring through every room in the house before Breathe Right, lol.
Ha! that sounds horrible both for him and the entire house! I’m so glad they were so life-changing for you all!
We really need this in my house i swear because we can’t sleep perfectly always. This may help me a lot.
That sounds pretty frustrating! You won’t regret getting these–they’re worth every penny!

Well, I have terrible insomnia, so I don’t sleep well, ever. However, snoring has never been an issue with anyone in our house.
I’m very glad you guys don’t have issues with snoring, you’re lucky! ha! these don’t help insomnia though I wish you best of luck on that!

That’s crazy that it just eventually went away. I wonder what changed. I’m glad we found something to and I’m glad you were able to get a break!
People swear by those strips, I know. Whatever makes sleeping for EVERYONE easier. 🙂

Temperature definitely plays a part in sleeping! I hate being too hot and so does my daughter.
Every person has a specific way they like to sleep. It definitely does change things up. Like mommy like daughter!
