If your partner’s Snoring is keeping you awake at night, it’s natural to feel concerned – not just about your lack of sleep, but also what snoring may mean for your partner’s health.
For partners, disturbed sleep can take its toll, they worry, often remaining awake throughout the night, leaving them irritable, tired and less able to enjoy the day ahead.
Research shows that 75% of people who share a bed with a snorer experience disrupted sleep, and 77% report on the affects of partner noise impacts their overall well-being.
Many report feeling tired (44%), moody (33%), or drained of energy (28%) the next day.
The louder the snoring or nighttime noise, the more it can disturb a partner’s sleep, with widespread reports on the impact the disturbance has on their relationship with the snorer.
From a health perspective, snoring is not harmless. In some cases, it may signal a condition called Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, where breathing pauses during sleep.
When Sleep Apnoea goes untreated, it has the potential to impact negatively on several body systems including cardiovascular health, such as heart rate and blood pressure, the endocrine system which includes control of blood sugar and also cognitive health.
Loud snoring, especially waking up gasping for breath and feeling tired during the day, especially in the afternoon, could be signs of Sleep Apnoea, which should be further investigated.
