The specialist quoted by the publication states that many couples spend too much time ignoring snoring, which harms both the relationship and the well-being of both partners. The impact on sleep can be compared to a hangover, leaving the person tired, irritated, and with difficulty concentrating the next day.
The problem goes beyond fatigue. Chronic sleep deprivation caused by a partner's snoring can contribute to the development of more serious conditions, such as hypertension, heart disease, and mental health problems. Snoring can also be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, a disorder that deserves medical attention.
The specialist recommends that couples not ignore the problem and seek solutions together. Among the measures that can be taken are changing sleeping position, weight loss, reducing alcohol consumption, and the use of oral devices or CPAP masks. Consulting a sleep specialist is also pointed out as an important step to identify the cause of snoring and find the appropriate treatment.
