Sleeping in separate rooms due to snoring: a problem or a cure?

A new survey has shown that nearly a third of couples practice what has been called "sleep divorce" to escape snoring and seek good sleep.

The survey was conducted by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and the result was 29%, representing a significant increase compared to the results of the same survey last year, which recorded 20% of couples choosing to sleep in separate rooms, and only 15% doing so consistently.

However, according to "Health Day", sleep experts believe that the result should not represent a type of concern regarding marital relations, but should be viewed as a positive choice that favors sleep health.

Sleeping in different rooms or beds is not the only tactic that couples try, as a third of adults in the survey indicated that they sleep at a different time than desired.

10% of the survey participants also tried the "Scandinavian sleeping method", using separate blankets or duvets in the same bed.

Sleep Academy experts warn that when snoring is accompanied by choking, gasping, or pauses in breathing during sleep, this is a strong indication of sleep apnea.

Other symptoms include: insomnia, morning headaches, frequent urination at night, difficulty concentrating and memory loss, or difficulty staying awake while watching TV or driving.
