My husband is an intelligent, hilarious, thoughtful man…whom I used to loathe as soon as he fell asleep each night. Why?
He’s prone to snoring. As we’re all too real, it made us miserable instead: I lost sleep, he’d end up sore from the little kicks I’d deliver as I tried to get him to roll over, and we both woke up feeling wronged and resentful.
It doesn’t take a scientist to tell you that snoring can wreak havoc on relationships, but research certainly backs it up:
a whopping 50 percent of people who were at risk for sleep apnea or who had a partner at risk for sleep apnea reported that it caused problems in their relationship.
And 28 percent said that their intimate or
sexual relationship had been affected because they were too sleepy.
so what I was doing with my husband about it — short of divorce?
