It rarely starts as a decision. One bad night becomes a week on the sofa, then a spare duvet in the guest room, and at some point it just becomes how you sleep. A surprising number of couples end up here, and most of them never planned to.
The hard part is that it is not really about the noise. It is about the distance. The person who moved out feels exiled; the person who snores feels guilty. Neither of you is sleeping well, and nobody wants to make it a bigger conversation than it already feels.
A few things make it easier. Name it kindly and together, as a shared problem rather than one person’s fault. Rule out the simple stuff first. And give one calm, low-effort fix an honest try for a few weeks before deciding anything bigger.
Stilla was built for exactly this moment: a small, silent device that settles snoring at the throat so two people can share a bed again. If it does not make your nights quieter within 30 nights, you send it back. Getting the room back should not be a gamble.
