After flying out on cheap airplane tickets and having secured discount hotel rooms, all many travelers want to do is to get a good nights sleep. Unfortunately a spouses snoring can cause the non-snoring half of a couple to lose one or more hours of sleep.
Crown Plaza hotels in Europe and the Middle East are testing what is being called the snore absorption room in Europe and the Middle East.
A United Kingdom survey reveals that three in 10 couples have come close to splitting up because of a partners snoring and 50 percent of UK couples surveyed complained that their partners snoring can ruin vacations.
The following is what can be found in Crowne Plazas snore absorption rooms:
Soundproofed walls soak up loud noises and decrease noise reverberating in the room.
Sound absorbing headboard helps muffle snoring inside the room.
Anti-snoring bed wedge motivates snorers to sleep on their sides or upright instead of flat on their backs, a position which makes snoring worse.
Anti-snoring pillow uses magnets creating a magnetic field that helps open airways and stiffen the upper palate so it wont vibrate and contribute to snoring.
White noise machine helps drown out the snorer.
All that seems to be missing are earplugs for the non-snoring spouse.
Currently there are no plans to test anti-snoring rooms in the United States. www.cheapfares.com
