Help for Couple’s this Valentine’s Day: Cupid’s Arrow or a Cure for Snoring?

Cure for Snoring?

Cupid could use some help from snoring treatment this Valentine’s Day. Snoring is a major cause of couple’s unhappiness according to the Etap Hotel Group of Europe, which recently conducted a poll of 4,000 couples. Of the three most aggravating factors that drive couples apart, noisiness is the most common complaint, together with hogging the bed covers and restlessness.

Results showed that snoring forces many of couples to sleep in separate rooms. According to the study, nearly a quarter of the couples studied feel resentment towards their partner as a result of lack of sleep, which causes arguments between almost half of couples. Those who do share a bed lose out on an average of 70 minutes sleep a night.

When a partner snores, according to the Etap study, in over a quarter of relationships the couple’s sex drive suffers and one in 20 people would consider leaving their partner because they snore.

When a partner snores, it causes the other person to lose much needed sleep. Even just mild sleep deprivation can cause serious health issues. As a study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison has found, even five consecutive nights of four hours or less of sleep per night has the same negative affects on the brain and body than total sleep deprivation. Someone else’s snoring can take a real toll on your health.

If your spouse’s snoring keeps you up at night, you’re not alone. It is an issue that affects people from all walks of life, including the most famous celebrities. It has been reported that Tom Cruise, Sid Owen and Kevin Jonas sleep separate from their partners because of their snoring. Recently Helena Bonham Carter admitted that Tim Burton, her partner has a deviated septum that causes him to snore loudly. They have two adjacent houses in London, and Carter stated that his snoring is one of the reasons she enjoys having her own house.
