Snoring – some key facts:
- There are 24+ million UK SNORERS
- The snoring volume range, 50 - 100 decibels, is equivalent to a pneumatic drill
Some of the side effects of snoring:
- Reduced libido
- Diminished energy
- Lack of concentration
- Increased risk of stress
Figures vary but it is estimated that approximately 40% of the adult population snore. Female snorers typically make up one third of the snoring population.
Snoring can result in diminished energy levels, a lack of concentration, increased risk of stress and depression, and can affect your libido. Habitual snoring can also result in increased chance of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, especially if Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is present.
Snoring can have a significant impact on the bed partner. Bed partners often report as little as 3 hours sleep a night. This can have major health implications
Snoring can be indicative of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). A condition that sees oxygen levels dip throughout the night, leaving the snorer tired on waking and typically suffering excessive daytime sleepiness. OSA has complex medical associations - we may refer you to your GP for further investigation.
