Snoring and Your Relationship

 

I just want to share an interesting article I’ve read from The Injury Board Blog Network written by David Mittleman about snoring and its effect on your relationship:

For many couples, snoring is a familiar problem: according to a 2009 survey by the National Sleep Foundation one-third of adults admitted to snoring at least a few nights per week. The problem of snoring occurs when breathing is obstructed during sleep either from allergies, a deviated septum, or problems that occur in the back of the throat. Specifically, some people have long soft pallets, a large uvula, tongue, tonsils, or adenoids that cause there to be less room in the back of the throat for airflow…

…As expected, both the snorer and their partner can lose sleep and quickly become fatigued and easily irritated. Ironically, many couples seek counseling for a troubled relationship without realizing that snoring is the underlying problem. Unfortunately, when a partner confronts their snoring counterpart, it’s common for the snorer to deny the problem or accuse their partner of exaggerating. According to experts, it is important for both partners to accept the problem as equally their own, as a couple. Avoid blaming, because that only leads to emotional and often physical separation during sleep times. Solving the problem may require medical help, so see your primary physician for a referral to a sleep clinic or an ear, nose, and throat specialist if the problem is diagnosed as nasal. Most importantly, if you can’t sleep together, make time to cuddle—watch a movie, listen to music, or just spend time lying together in bed to keep intimacy and the relationship alive.

Sleep Problems Hinders Good Sex Life

 

Do you know that lack of sleep can be a BIG disaster when it comes to sex, relationships, and your social life? Here are some key findings about sex life and sleep problems such as snoring based on WebMD:

Sleep disorders and chronic sleep loss put a serious ding into a sex life. No surprise there. When some partners resort to separate bedrooms due to snoring, sleep apnea, or restless sleep, that pretty much rules out any opportunity for spontaneous action.

Sleep loss can make you quarrelsome: you’ll be “feisty” in an irritable kind of way—not a sexy kind of way.

OSA may be associated with lower testosterone levels. A 2002 study of men at the Technion Sleep Laboratory in Israel found that nearly half of those who suffered from severe sleep apnea also secreted abnormally low levels of testosterone during the night.

The effects of sleep deprivation—low energy, fatigue, and sleepiness—won’t inspire sex. No surprise there either.

Men with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), an inability to breathe properly during sleep, commonly report low libidos and sexual activity.

Sleep loss makes you less able to cope with life’s ups and downs. Sex can be a great stress reducer, but if you don’t have energy for it, then that reduces your opportunities to unwind.

People with insomnia are also less likely to engage in social activities. This doesn’t bode well for the single person looking to make an intimate connection.
