If you sleep with a snorer, you are entitled to a lot of sympathy and understanding – and so is the snorer.
Snoring, it is claimed, affects around 24% of men and 13 – 14% of women and this rises to about 60% of men and 40% of women over the age of 60 years. It is one of the main causes of sleep deprivation both for the snorer and the unfortunate people who happen to be within earshot. If the snorer is not woken up by his own snoring, the chances are he will be awoken by his sleeping companion or even by a next door neighbour, if the walls between the dwellings are not soundproof. Mind you, banging on the wall sometimes only adds to the noise and the neighbour’s fury at having to listen to all the snorts and peculiar noises emanating from next door!
However, the main victim is normally the poor sleeping partner or room- mate. So learning how to stop snoring at night is important for harmony in the household!
Picture the scene: It has been a long, hard day. Work did not go well and there didn’t seem to be any let-up in the pressure. You miss your bus and have to wait half hour in the rain for another one – and then you have to stand.
You get home to find that HE is late also, the children are hungry and squabbling but of course lacked the common sense to start getting the evening meal ready. (The fact that the dinner is in your shopping bag is beside the point!).
So you get cracking, cook dinner and are just about to serve it when the love of your life arrives home, sits down to a nice meal (never giving a thought as to how it got onto the table!) and starts telling you what a terrible day he’s had. Then he adjourns to the other room, puts the TV on and promptly falls asleep; the kids go off to do their own thing and you are left with the bomb-site to clear up.
However, you don’t complain because you have decided to have a nice warm bath and an early night – something to look forward to. You make your plans known to the other members of the household who say “good for you; you do look a bit tired” and off you go for a bit of ‘me’ time, with a clear conscience and pleasant thoughts about your lovely family.
Then, tucked up cosily in bed, you are woken in the middle of the night by what sounds like an express train in the bed beside you, only to realise your beloved is lying on his back, out to the world and no amount of shaking, thumping, pushing or kicking will make him stir!
Ah well, such is life!
Learn How To Stop Snoring At Night and get a great nights sleep!
