A YouGov survey commissioned by
Snoreeze has found that more than 9 out
of 10 (93%) of UK women in relationships
say that their partner snores. This means
there is a massive chance of the person
you're puckering up with this Christmas
being a noisy sleeper. As many as 75%
of women with snoring partners admitted
that the problem has some sort of effect
on their life or relationship, and as many
as 87% admitted that shaking, nudging
and kicking goes on in their bedroom in
order to stop the snorer from snorring.
However, while heavy snoring is
annoying, it can also be a warning sign
of sleep apnoea, where the airway
relaxes and narrows as they sleep. This
means that oxygen cannot be taken
in properly, reducing or even stopping
airflow to the lungs. If untreated, sleep
apnoea is linked to a number of chronic
conditions including heart disease, Type
2 diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure,
and depression.
A mere 3% of snorers in relationships
said they had visited the doctor about
the snoring, despite it being one of the
main signs of sleep apnoea. There may
be a hope of home diagnosis as a recent
study conducted by the University of
Pennsylvania Medical Center found that
those suffering from sleep apnoea had
fatter tongues than non-sufferers. In
addition to making the tongue appear
larger, increased levels of tongue fat mean
that the muscles can no longer position
the tongue away from the airway, causing
it to be blocked at night.
Snoreeze spokesperson Richard Wiffen
says, "Mild to moderate sleep apnoea and
severe snoring can be treated with an oral
device that advances the jaw. The FDAcleared
Snoreeze Oral Device is worn
like a gum-shield and can be customised
to fit in just a few minutes. Its adjustable
design positions the jaw forward to clear
the obstructed upper airway, meaning that
normal breathing continues and snoring
stops."
