Is Snoring the Reason For the Divorce?

Posted by admin in Prescription Sleep Medicine on November 05th, 2009

Friends or family may have a laugh on your expense if you’re caught snoring, but the fact is many Americans are actually losing sleep over something as simple snoring. Not only the partner who has to sleep with the snorer, but the snorer themselves. Fatigue and irritability can stem from not getting enough sleep, and can cause one to feel stressed and exhausted.

More than 30% of Americans at the age of 30 years snore and that number only increases with age. 50% more men snore than women do. It is no phenomenon that people are searching to find the best way to deal with this issue. Being a loud or excessive snorer can force your bed partner right out of the bedroom. Being forced to sleep separately can be a definite problem in any relationship.

People who snore may not realize they are also not getting a restful night sleep. This is what generally results in fatigue and daytime illness. In results, couples tend to fuss more when exhausted or stressed. So finding snoring aids can be beneficial to both partners.

There are many options available for snore relief, some are measures you can take by yourself, and others are over the counter remedies. A main thread between snoring and the cause of snoring is being overweight. Dropping 20 percent of your overall body weight can greatly reduce the amount you snore, and possibly eliminate it altogether. Another main cause is smoking or alcohol consumption. Reducing intake of alcohol or quitting smoking can too greatly reduce or eliminate your snoring problems. If neither of these seems to apply to you, there are many over the counter snoring remedies available such as chin straps, nasal moisteners, nasal strips, mouthpieces and pillows that may be beneficial to you in your quest to stop snoring.
