Is Your Relationship in Trouble?

Holiday Season is a prime time for relationship break-ups, when many couples report that their partners snoring causes excessive stress between them. Happy holidays might not always be a happy party time for all of us. In fact, many couples living with a snorer dread this time of the year! Expectations are high, holiday excitement takes over, yet many dread their holidays, which may lead to relationship disappointment.

For most of us, holidays are a time of fun and relaxation, including the sharing of good food and more than usual amounts of alcohol. But, party life comes at a huge cost to couples who are prone to snoring.

Snoring is a real test to any good relationship.

Alcohol, cigarettes and excessive weight are listed as some of the main causes of snoring. Alcohol relaxes the soft tissue at the back of the throat, causing soft tissue and the tongue to drop back, partially block the airway. The air passing through this soft tissue causes the sound we know and refer to as snoring.

Obstructive sleep apnea, often confused with snoring, is a more dangerous sleep disorder. Sleep apnea sufferers wake up several, if not hundreds of times a night, to gasp for air. The body is reliant on the brain registering that there is a high carbon dioxide build-up in the blood and, in turn, forces the body to breathe. Alcohol slows down most body responses, including signals from the brain, that the body is in trouble.

Couples often complain that their partners snoring is tolerable during the year, but unbearable during their holidays when they simply wish to relax and enjoy a full nights sleep. Romanticism flies out of the bedroom, with snoring partners often finding themselves on the couch, or alone in bed. Holiday expectations are dampened, leaving this time of the year most prone to relationship break-ups.

Not all is doom and gloom, with plenty of snoring solutions available. It is maybe a good investment to add one of these solutions to the party pack. Who knows, it might be the answer to your relationship enjoying a happy holiday survival.
