Stop Snoring Week 2008
Whether you’re a snorer or you’re just unlucky enough to share a bed with one, you’re probably already aware of the negative impact snoring can have on your life.
Over fifteen million people in the UK are thought to be snorers; the problem affects an estimated four in 10 men and around three in 10 women. In addition to this, millions of other people are affected by their partner’s or neighbours’ snoring.
Snoring can cause sleep deprivation, both for the sufferer and for 97% of bed partners. In fact, research shows that many bed partners are woken so frequently in the night, they manage to snatch just 3 – 5 hours sleep. Research also shows that the sound of some snoring can reach 100 decibels, so it’s hardly surprising that this habit is keeping the nation awake. In addition to this, snoring can also increase the risk of more serious health risks, including high blood pressure, bronchitis, heart disease, diabetes and high cholesterol, as well as the lack of sleep causing sufferers to experience headaches, gastro-intestinal irritability, nausea and palpitations.
So, if you’re a snorer, why not try and cure your little problem during Stop Snoring Week 2008? This year’s Stop Snoring Week will take place between the 21st and the 26th April. It is organised by the British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association, who will be using the week to raise awareness of the physical and psychological effects that this noisy problem can have on snorers and their bed partners. They will also be using the week to discuss the latest news and research on snoring, as well as to show off the latest stop snoring aids.
The British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association was founded in 1991 to educate the public about snoring and sleep apnoea. Its primary aim is to show people that these complaints are often treatable and that help is readily available. They currently offer sufferers an array of useful information on the causes and treatments of snoring and sleep apnoea, which can be accessed via their website.
