The scenario

"Hi Katie!" exclaims pharmacy technician Vicky, spotting an old friend. "How are you? It’s been ages since I last saw you."

"Oh, hi Vicky – I didn’t know you still worked here!" replies Katie. "I’m all good thanks. In fact, I’m great. I moved in with my boyfriend a few weeks ago."

"Oh, how lovely. Is it all domestic bliss?" asks Vicky.

"It feels like we have settled in really well together," says Katie. "It’s just the nights. Jack’s a really noisy sleeper. I don’t remember it being as bad when we’ve been on holiday or slept over at each other’s houses. It’s not just that he snores – he seems to make these odd gasping and choking sounds. It’s really quite alarming. He even wakes himself up, and is often ever so tired during the day. That’s why I’m here: are any of those stop snoring products any good, do you think?"
