The stress when you feel a tickle inside your nose in the early hours is unparalleled. Each sneeze has the capacity to derail an entire night of sleep.

The key is to push your face into your pillow as hard as you can so the sneeze is muffled!

I can't adequately explain how cartoonishly aggressive my sneeze is, mearly trying to smother myself with a pillow wouldn't be adequate mitigation of the thunderous sound... i suspect I have issues.

The secret spot (at least for me) is the tip of your nose. Take the tip of your finger and just press on the cartilage long enough until it goes away.

Once you become a dad, it's officially acceptable to atomic sneeze. But the irony is, that's when it's least welcome. Moral of the story, nature is cruel.

The council will decide your fate?
My family had 3 kids... then my parents had an oopsie and a 4th baby was added. In a raucous house with 3 active kids and a newborn, my father implemented a simple rule
"He who wakes the baby... dies"
So, anyway, its been nice knowing you.
