Another danger related to snoring yet this time not directly effecting health is nuisance to partners.
In actual fact, today in France, it is estimated that there are more than 15 million snorers which represents over 30 million people suffering alongside, i.e. 1 French person out of 2!
- Sleeping in separate rooms : dmany spouses are obliged to opt for this solution in order to get a good night’s sleep. According to the "Great British Snoring Survey 2006", 48% of partners are affected by this.
- Reorganisation of sleeping times : couples are sometimes obliged to change their sleeping habits to make sure that the non-snorer goes to sleep before the snorer.
- Palpable irritability : Lthe intensity of certain snoring can quickly rise in decibels and turn sleeping into a nightmare for partners. This gives rise to increasing irritation..
All these parameters can, over time, give rise to genuine problems in personal relationships as partners become the victims of snoring. In actual fact, this upsets their sleeping pattern therefore giving rise to a certain physical and emotional distance between the partners.
