Most things you read about in relation to snoring is focused on the individual who is the snorer. Today, to appeal to the snorers who has not sort treatment, I want to focus on their loved one who sleeps with them.
For the bed partners who are affected by their partner’s snoring, it’s a constant roller coaster. They love the person they are with and honestly don’t want to vacate the bedroom. They are struggling from guilt and miss the intimacy that their bed partner provides. Unfortunately, the lure of a good night sleep or any sleep for that matter is usually the catalyst for finding a spot in a “snore free zone” . The snorer, while suffering from the affects of their own symptoms, typically don’t realize the affects of sleep deprivation they are inflicting on their partner.
Good Reason’s to Treat Your Snoring Issue
Sleeping with your bed partner helps create intimacy in the relationship. Studies have found that couples who share sleep in a healthy relationships may lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone. Sharing a bed may also reduce cytokines, involved in inflammation, and boost oxytocin, the so-called love hormone that is known to ease anxiety and is produced in the same part of the brain responsible for the sleep-wake cycle.
