With Valentine’s Day upon us it is a good time to examine the effects of snoring on your relationship. Studies show that snoring can have a significant impact on relationships and intimacy, sex life with your partner, and in some severe cases may even lead to divorce. Sleep deprivation due to a partner’s snoring can cause stress on any relationship, no matter how strong your bond. Snoring experts say some 60% of adults in the United States snore – that’s 183 million people. Research indicates that individuals sleeping next to a snoring bed partner will lose between one and two hours of sleep each night due to the disturbance; it’s no surprise that some 80% of couples with a snorer sleep in separate bedrooms. So what can you do this Valentine’s Day to inspire bedroom bliss for your partner? Here are some simple suggestions:
Try to loose weight. Problem snoring is much more frequent in overweight people – particularly men. By adopting a more healthy lifestyle, you’ll not only be in better physical shape but also help relieve your partner from the disturbance of snoring.Avoid alcohol before bed. Alcohol effects your body’s control over your throat muscles when you sleep, which can trigger snoring. It’s also a good idea to avoid tranquilizers or sedatives before bedtime as well.Establish regular sleeping patterns. Going to bed at the same time every night will help your body get into a sleeping rhythm; this in itself doesn’t cure snoring but it will help you fall asleep faster and in most cases sleep better.Sleep on your side rather than your back. Modification of your sleeping position is an easy way to try and reduce snoring. When we sleep, our air passages must have enough room to avoid constriction; research shows that sleeping on your back increases the chance of airway blockage which results in snoring. Elevate your head. You can increase the angle of your bed by raising the head of the bed or use additional pillows to support your entire upper body – don’t just raise your head because that will put more pressure on your airway and have the opposite effect of what you’re trying to accomplish.One of the top health concerns associated with snoring is interrupted sleep for both the snorer and bed partner; people who snore chronically should discuss their condition with a physician, because it can be a symptom of sleep apnea (a reduction or cessation of breathing during sleep), a deviated septum or more serious health risks such as high blood pressure, strokes, and heart disease.
