The National Sleep Institute says that almost 1/4 of people sleeping in separate bedrooms do so because of the snoring of a bed-partner. This often leads to hurt feelings. The snorer is completely unaware of the noise that is generated by snoring and doesn't understand the difficulty that their snoring is causing their partner. When I see patients for consultation, I encourage bed-partners to come as well. Sometimes this leads to some quite interesting interaction!

But, on the other hand, if I was losing sleep I am not sure what I would do. Sleep, outside of being a necessary part of our daily lives, is something I truly enjoy. I like being able to lay down, relax, and get six to eight hours of sleep every night. Are there nights I get less than that? Of course. But to have this lead to divorce? That is just crazy. I would love to see some stats relating to this. Do think that these happily (at one time or another) married individuals will allow something that is controllable ruin their lives. Thanks for sharing this. I do believe that I need to keep one ear open tonight and see if my bed partner is snoring to save future fighting!
