Anyone who has slept next to a snorer knows all too well what it feels like to be sleep deprived.

The good news is, NASA scientists believe they have discovered a simple way to put an end to snoring: a pineapple plant.

According to multiple news reports, NASA claims “pineapple plants produce oxygen and boost air quality at night which could improve sleep quality and cut out those snores.”

Want one of these in every room! Did you know the pineapple plant is one of the most purifying plants by night?! Most plants produce oxygen during the day (photosynthesis) but this bad boy does it by night (crassulacean acid metabolism).🌛Studies prove how it strongly improves the air quality and thus contributes to better sleep by reducing sleep apnea or some snoring symptoms! 😴

Jumping on the bandwagon, UK supermarket chain Asda is stocking the plant, marketing it as a 'miracle' cure.

Phil Smith, Asda Plant Buyer, said: "Snorts, snuffles and splutters affect a quarter of Brits, so for those 16 million snorers, Asda's Pineapple Plant could be a dream come true – even more-so for sleep-deprived partners.

🌿🍍Pina Colada🍍🌿 Grow your own mini pineapple - these cute Ananas like a warm sunny position and moderate watering. The fruit will eventually turn yellow and when it does you can eat it or put it in your pina colada. Once you've picked the fruit you can plant the plant into a bigger pot or garden and it will sucker and produce more fruit for years. Then update the pot with a new indoor or outdoor plant 💚 🌿$80 for pot and plant🌿 #ananas #pineappleplant #pots #outdoorpots #indoorpots #plantstyling #greenlife #greengifts

"For those lucky enough to sleep through the night without the disturbance of snoring, the plant is a chic addition to the home which is easy to care for and adds a little touch of The Tropics to any room."

For anyone looking to purchase a pineapple plant in Australia, Bunnings sometimes stocks decorative pineapple plants, or contact your local nursery.
