Snoring. A test of love that doesn't choose a victim. One snores, the other suffers – and vice versa. Although patience is also supposed to be an expression of love, the sound of a rasping nose at night all too often leads to thoughts of separate beds (or silently Googling "quiet hotel room for one person"). Did you know that plants can save you?
Plants?! Yes! Before you offer it to your partner separately the bedroom with a romantic note "for your good sleep", there is a trick that is both stylish and eco-friendly. Three houseplants that are not only a decoration for your interior, but a silent green army against snoring. No pills, no masks, no separate pillows.
These 3 houseplants should be in your bedroom
Don't be fooled by their gentle appearance - these plants can do more than you think. They purify the air, release oxygen, calm the nerves, and most importantly: help make snoring a thing of the past (or at least a quieter companion at night).
1. Lavender – the queen of relaxation
Lavender has long been considered a plant with incredible aromatherapy effects. Its essential oils are not only a hit in spas, but can literally calm your heart rate and lower your blood pressure. Place it on your nightstand and let its fragrance lull you into a deeper sleep. Bonus? Lavender also repels mosquitoes – because you really don’t want to snore. and buzzing in the same night.
2. Spathiphyllum – a cleaner with a glamorous white flower
Spathiphyllum or Peace Lily is a dream roommate. Quiet, undemanding, and caring. NASA has named it one of the top air-purifying plants, as it removes toxins from the air and increases humidity. This is especially important during the dry winter months, when dry mucous membranes mean more irritation and—you guessed it—more snoring. Plus, it looks fantastic—a white flower that needs nothing more than a little shade and love.
3. Sanseveria - "mother-in-law's language", which speaks only positively
If you're looking for a plant that can handle everything from forgotten waterings to low light, then the Sansevieria is your choice. But that's not all. This badass plant releases oxygen at night, meaning better air while you sleep. And its sleek, upright form will add an urban-jungle chic look to your bedroom that interior designers are admiring.
Snoring can be less scary – and a lot greener. These three houseplants are the perfect combination of beauty and health benefits to turn your bedroom into an oasis of quiet (or at least the best approximation of it). If you have to share a bed with a snorer, at least keep the air around you clean, airy and scented with lavender. And if nothing else – your bedroom will look so good you’ll forget why you didn’t sleep all night.
