Did you know that snoring is the
number one medical cause of divorce? Shocked! But this is true. It is quite
annoying if your partner snores all throughout the night. Couple often begins
with arguing about sleeping and the argument is soon heated because of
tiredness, irritability and this causes tension. This also impacts your blood pressure.
A study, examining quality of
sleep, was conducted at London’s Imperial College, with 140 volunteers, who
lived near Heathrow and other major airports. This study found that noise
levels higher than 35 decibels, such as planes, traffic, and even snoring,
cause spikes in blood pressure of 0.66 mm Hg, at every five decibel increment.
Just for your information, a 90 decibel level is similar to the noise of a
jackhammer.
Since hypertension can lead to
whole host of diseases such as strokes, dementia, heart and kidney disease,
experts suggest that you remedy your current sleeping situation. Consider the
following techniques to get a sound night’s sleep:
Invest in a white noise machine
These machines send out variable
sound frequencies which mask or cancel irritating noises. Placing an air filter
near your bed will have the same impact. The partner can
hope to have a sound sleep.
Listen to Soothing Music
Simply load up your iPod with
soothing tunes, and listen to this as you fall asleep. Ambient sounds such as
rain, ocean waves, and wind chimes, can have the same impact.
Invest In a Pair of Ear Plugs
Ear plugs may or may not block
the sound entirely, but they do work in reducing volume. You will have to
experiment with a variety of ear plugs before selecting a pair that fits you
correctly.
These might seem trivial solutions but these are worth a try
and not let your health being affected. Also, to save your wedding make sure
you share a healthy relationship with your partner. The relationship must
involve emotional and physical intimacy to strengthen the bond the fight the
problem of snoring if it gets in the way of your relationship.
