SNORING is ruining the sex lives of one in four couples, a survey says.
Twenty-five per cent sleep separately to avoid the racket, while half admit it affects their relationship.
Seven in ten men confess to snoring, according to the Great British Snoring Survey.
Four out of ten women admit they have a problem.
Relationship expert Denise Knowles, from Relate, said: “People deprived of sleep suffer physically and emotionally.
“Sex is the last thing you want when you’re shattered.”
Marianne Davey of the British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association said: “Snoring can put a big strain on relationships. We get calls from women who are absolutely in despair.”
Snoring can be a sign of ill health, with snorers more likely to have high blood pressure. Sleep apnoea, an extreme form of snoring, is associated with higher heart disease risk.
Sheep need their sleep, too, ya know.
I am going to go eat Chinese food.
I had PF Changs for lunch. You eat late lunches.
my wife is 41 and is a sex crazed lunatic (who snores very load and weirdly I must say), so I don't know what kind of anecdotal evidance you have, but mine is the smile on my face....
btw I'm 31
Rest assured, your age is of no concern to me.
My comment about the 'magic age of 40' was not meant to imply that something physical happens at that age to wives - its just an amazing observation as to how many men I know of whose intimate life ended around the time their wives turned 40...in addition to the plague of divorce, its been amazing to realize how many people are suffering through dead marriages for the sake of the children (which is better than divorce for the little ones any day of the week..)
Thank your for telling us something we didn't really want to know...
"Thank YOUR for telling us something we didn't really want to know..."
yer welcome ;)
What's the mating call of the blonde?
"I'm sooooo drunk!"
Sorry...couldn't resist....
And I am never a sweetie.
What is "HRT"?
It lessens the symptoms of menopause and it also can kick up the woman's sex drive as well.
Mine waited about 48 or so.
Hostage Rescue Team (FBI). Sometimes needed during PMS or hot flash state.
Oh - I was hoping you were talking about curing snoring - besides CPAP!
Anyway, thanks for the info!
Exactly....
HRT, especially a Estrogen/Progesterone/Testosterone mix is wonderful!
I mean, I haven't seen any drop in sex drive from women on it.
If your man starts snoring during sex, you're doing something wrong...
Hey, have you popped out the newest edition to the Legs household yet?
Hi darlin'!

Hi there!
