How snoring can break up a marriage

plzzz read.

Washington, Feb.03 (ANI): Preliminary results of a scientific sleep study have shown that sleep apnea does indeed put a strain on a marriage, and that couples struggling with sleep apnea have a higher divorce rate.

Researchers at the Sleep Disorders Center at Rush University Medical Center are now conducting a scientific sleep study to find out whether curing people of snoring can help save a marriage.
Rosalind Cartwright, PhD, founder of the Sleep Disorders Center, said that studies had revealed that couples who struggle with sleep apnea have a higher record of broken marriages.

"Couples who struggle with sleep apnea have a high-divorce rate. This is a frequent problem within marriages that nobody is paying enough attention to. Can we save marriages by treating sleep apnea? It's a question we hope to answer," she said.

The Married Couples Sleep Study will be based on the evaluation of 10 couples in which the male has been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea.

As a part of the study, couples answer surveys about sleepiness, marriage satisfaction, and quality of life. They then spend the night in the sleep lab where technicians determine each partner s quality and quantity of sleep. Following two weeks of treatment, the diagnostic tests and surveys are repeated.

Dr Cartwright said that preliminary results had shown that sleep apnea does indeed put a strain on a marriage.

"Our early results are showing that the wife's sleep is indeed deprived due to the husband s noisy nights. This is not a mild problem. The lack of sleep for both partners puts a strain on the marriage and creates a hostile and tense situation," said Cartwright.

In one case, the researchers found that after a husband had undergone two weeks of a non-invasive treatment that prevents the upper airway from collapsing during sleep by allowing the lungs to function normally during sleep, his wife's quality of life measure jumped from a 1.2 to a 7.

The treatment is called continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

Lolol sis, astaghfirullah. I mean who'd think snoring could lead to divorce? But it's true I've read countless stories of it happening. That, or the poor hubby gets banished to the spare room. Thank God no poor bloke has been sent to sleep in the shed yet for sounding like a pneumatic drill

I don't know but I just so happend to find this article and I dont know what the point in it was it to let us know to be aware of our snoring habits or was it to tell us that the statistics of marriage actually does break when a spouse snores. I thought it was very hilarious I definetly couldn't help myself but I couldn't resist either but to post I just had a good laugh

It does sound funny. But the serious side of it is, when your partner is snoring like a train thundering past, it's hard to sleep and in the long term results in extreme tiredness. Then ppl get snappy & moody and arguments start. Not just abt the snoring, but anything trivial can lead to a full scale row.

The snorer suffers too, because they actually stop breathing for a while then snort loudly when it begins again. This affects their quality of sleep too. Luckily most wives just elbow their husbands lol, or pinch their noses to stop their snoring, instead of filing for divorce.

^ It's not!

I remember when my husband used to snore. Sometimes I'd just nudge him and other times I'd pinch his nose and hope he doesn't notice. But I tell ya there were days when I wanted to suffocate him with a pillow.

It's like trying to sleep next to a human rattle snake. Only the rattle is in his mouth.
