| Yet, it's a problem that may affect the sleep of up to twice as many people: the snorer and their unlucky bed partner! |
| Their answers are then assessed using internationally recognised diagnostic protocols and the snorer is sent preliminary findings within 12 hours. |
| But for the snorer, it can lead to sleep apnea, which can be a debilitating and lethal condition. |
| This quiet interval ends when the snorer is aroused from deep sleep, reopens his airway with a loud snort and resumes snoring. |
| The best thing that a snorer can do, in the interests of marital harmony, is to buy their partner some earplugs. |
| Our advice is to be gentle and point out that a small initial discomfort for the snorer is much less than the continual debilitating effect of sleepless nights on the person being kept awake. |
