Snoring is a Problem
The National Sleep Foundation estimates that 37 million Americans snore. Snoring disrupts sleep in both the snorer and their bed partner. A good night’s sleep allows the body and mind to rejuvenate. Disruptive snoring prevents deep, continuous rejuvenate sleep. The snorer does not sleep as well as you think they are. The bed partner of a snorer is estimated to lose at least one hour of sleep each night.
This disruption of deep sleep can lead to irritability and moodiness which constrain relationships between couples. Many couples sleep apart due to snoring, which further reduces intimacy.
Further, the daytime sleepiness that occurs in both the snorer and the bed partner can lead to decreased productivity, clouded thinking, low energy, and even make you unsafe driving a car.
In some cases, snoring is a sign of a serious medical condition called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Only a doctor can determine if your snoring is simply disruptive social snoring or OSA.
