Couples Worries About Their Partner Snoring

Does your husband or boyfriend snore? You are not alone.

How Snoring Strains a Relationship, And What to Do About It

Snoring is sometimes called the “relationship killer,” and couples who live with it understand why. It is a common source of friction, and surveys consistently find a large share of couples end up sleeping apart because of it. The same is true in reverse when the girlfriend or wife is the one snoring.

How does snoring drive a wedge between even the most loving couples? It starts with a chronic lack of sleep.

Snoring and Interrupted Sleep

Why does your husband or boyfriend snore?

As he sleeps, his throat muscles relax and narrow the airway between his nose and mouth. When air travels over the narrowed airway, it vibrates the soft tissues, and the harsh sound of snoring occurs.

You can't hear yourself snore, so it is very likely he is not aware of it until you tell him.

A good night’s sleep moves through different stages, each necessary to rest and restore the body. Snoring interferes with that cycle for both of you. When sleep is continually interrupted, the result is sleep deprivation.

What Sleep Deprivation Does to Relationships

Ongoing sleep loss is associated with the following:

• Lower Sex Drive: Research associates poor sleep with reduced libido in both women and men, including lower testosterone in men.

• Arguments: Sleeplessness causes irritability and poor judgment. Even a trivial remark can be misread, and sparks fly.

• Stress and Anxiety: Sleeplessness was once thought of as mainly a result of stress. More recent research suggests the relationship runs both ways, and poor sleep can itself drive stress.

• Low Mood: Ongoing lack of sleep is associated with depression. Improving sleep is often part of addressing it, but depression has many causes and should be discussed with a healthcare professional.

• Poor Health: Chronic lack of sleep has been associated with a weakened immune system and a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, weight gain and diabetes.

The effects of sleep deprivation are hard enough on a relationship, but snoring adds the emotional strain below.

Reduced Intimacy

Sharing a bed builds closeness. Many couples value the physical contact of sleeping together. But research shows a significant share of couples sleep in separate rooms because of snoring, and couples who sleep apart tend to communicate less. Over time, intimacy fades.

Guilt and Resentment

Even though your husband or boyfriend doesn’t snore on purpose, you may build resentment toward him for interrupting your sleep. In turn, he may feel guilty about the trouble it causes. And so the cycle continues.
