This is very common now-a-days that while wife tries to sleep she finds her snoring husband on the other side of the bed, not even knowing the problem cause to make him snoring.In anger she takes her pillow and leaves to sleep in the living room on an uneasy couch. Often the end result is divorce.Statistics show that nearly 25% men suffer from this problem.
“This is a frequent problem within married that nobody is paying enough attention to,” says Dr.Rosalind Cartwright, founder of the Sleep Disorders Center at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago and director of a new study looking into this topic.For one couple in Cartwright’s preliminary study, a husband’s snoring woke his wife over eight times an hour.This exhausted his wife and caused a lot of tension at home.
