Dont let snoring scatters your marriage. Read for tips

Snoring doesn’t just interfere with the snorer’s sleep. When it comes to couples, one person’s snoring often means sleep trouble for two. And it isn’t only sleep that can suffer. Snoring can put great strain on relationships. Protecting the health and intimacy of your relationship is a very important reason to treat a snoring problem.In marriage snoring spouse who feels “dragged” to the doctor’s office is resentful that his or her snoring problem can’t be left alone. The spouse that does the dragging-in is frustrated and tired. Ordinarily, affectionate couples can have a strain in their relationship caused by snoring. Sometimes if it wasn’t for their spouse, a snorer wouldn’t even know they had a problem. As one  patients recently shared his experience with me that, “He was very surprised when his lovely wife first clued him that he was snoring at night. It was disturbing her sleep, but he didn’t realize that snoring was the cause of his own fatigue."The reason for resentment is understandable. Snoring can cause daytime symptoms that can cause serious problems in one’s waking life, and unfortunately it is not just the snorer that suffers — the snorer’s spouse can suffer just as much.The sleep loss associated with snoring — whether it’s the snorer or the bed partner who is awakened by the snoring, interrupts important recuperative sleep, which can impair a person’s ability to perform cognitive tasks involving memory, learning, reasoning and mathematical processes. It can impair motor skills and can cause morning headaches, irritability, burnout and depression, to mention just a few symptoms.If your marriage is suffering because you or your spouse snores, the key to reconciling is to understand that snoring is a symptom of a physical condition, such as sleep apnea, sinusitis or nasal obstruction, and it can be treated. There are many non-surgical, in-office and minimally invasive treatments available to snorers today. Although I would never make the claim that I’ve saved marriages, I’ve heard back many times from patients who tell me that it wasn’t until after their snoring was cured did they realize how much happier they are snuggling next to their spouse again.
