41% Of Couples Fight Over Snoring Partners

A new survey has found 41% of couples argue and tussle at night – because one of them snores.

The annoyed party was also found, when woken up by an annoying whistle, wheeze or snort, to have tried to shift their partner from their back to their side in an attempt to help ease the noise.

The survey was conducted by researchers at pharmaceutical brand Nytol to mark National Stop Snoring Week, with a total of 1,134 snorers taking part.

Of those questioned, a number even admitted to shoving or elbowing their snoring partner in the ribs, but to no avail, while 28% said they regularly resorted to sleeping in another room to try and get some sleep.

When asked how they felt about the disruptive noises, 27% said they are regularly left feeling grouchy, with 21% feeling constantly tired. A further 16% claimed they are less productive as a result of snoring.

Other findings showed around a quarter of women and four in ten men are 'frequent snorers', although almost half snored occasionally.

Speaking about the results, Dr Chris Idzikowski, Director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, said: "Snoring can greatly impact sleep quality which may eventually lead to more serious health problems.

"To ensure couples maintain the intimacy of their relationship and prevent snoring from getting in the way of a good night’s sleep, it is important that both the snorer and the partner work together to find a solution."
