The
benefits of a good night's sleep are obvious to most people and
recent scientific studies have brought to light even more beneficial
effects for overall health.
Having
a solid sleep session helps reduce stress levels, can improve
cardiovascular health and is even thought to be involved with
positive processes which may ward off age-related degenerative brain
diseases.
So
sleeping really does appear to play an important part in a healthy
lifestyle. However, for many people, sharing a bed with a partner can
interfere with their own ability to enjoy a good night's sleep ...
especially if they are being kept awake by the noise of someone
snoring!
Survey
A
new survey from a major British bed retailer has revealed that 54% of
people in the UK claim that their partner's snoring regularly impacts
on their own chance of getting eight hours sleep.
Of
the 1,000 people who took part in the survey, 74% said that they lost
up to seven hours sleep a week because of their partner's bedtime
habits.
10%
said they would rather share a bed with their pets! haha!
Health
Of
course, sleeping well plays its part in staying healthy, but the
reasons that people snore can be a medical question in themselves.
However, in most cases it is a far simpler thing to sort out.
Sometimes it can be caused by something as straightforward as bad
bedtime habits or even poor sleeping posture.
Personalhealthcare from
benenden health will enable you to request help from consultants who
are familiar with the problem. They will be able to diagnose the
cause of your snoring and decide if you’re suffering from a more
serious condition like sleep apnoea.
Other
factors
Of
course it isn't just a snoring partner that can keep people awake.
The survey found that 46% of people who took part cited their partner
hogging the duvet as the main cause of their own lack of sleep,
whilst 40% said that fidgeting was the big problem.
More
unsavoury complaints include partners who passed wind or suffered
from excessive sweating in bed, and a number of people complained
about sleeping naked.
The
whole thing is put into perspective by the number of people who quiet
happily share their beds with their partners, but for those who do
find they are having sleeping problems a medical opinion may be the
solution needed to keep everything happy beneath the sheets.
Is snoring a problem in your love life?
