\"snores\"If you had to guess the percentage of couples that sleep separately at night because one person snores, what would you say? Perhaps you\u2019re a romantic, so you\u2019ll guess low at five percent. Or maybe you\u2019re more of a realist, so you think 10 or 15 percent might be accurate. Well, studies indicate that some 25 percent of couples are willing to report that they sleep separately, so researchers believe the actual percentage is likely much higher. Moreover, that snoring can be a sign of a more serious condition called sleep apnea<\/a>. If you sleep with a snorer (or if you don\u2019t because you\u2019re in another room), then contact Sleep Rehab. Dr. Fedosky and his team treat sleep apnea in Dallas, TX, and the surrounding communities, so everyone can sleep well and together.<\/p>\n

The Dangers of Second-Hand Snoring<\/h2>\n

Just as second-hand smoke can have health consequences to those who don\u2019t smoke but are around people who do, so too second-hand snoring can affect people who are in relationships with snorers. The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, did a study of snorers and their partners, finding that partners were awakened an average of 21 times an hour\u2014almost as much as the snorers\u2019 27 awakenings due to sleep apnea.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Mayo Clinic\u2019s sleep disorders center in Scottsdale, AZ, gave a quality-of-life assessment and sleepiness test to 54 confirmed sleep apnea patients and their spouses. Initially, spouses had the same quality-of-life scores as national averages. However, once a partner\u2019s snoring and sleep apnea were treated, their spouses\u2019 quality-of-life scores increased significantly. In addition, spouses\u2019 sleepiness scores generally improved, as well.<\/p>\n

Treating Snoring and Sleep Apnea in Dallas, TX<\/h2>\n

Dr. Fedosky and his team at Sleep Rehab treat both snoring and sleep apnea with an oral appliance called a nightguard. More often than not, sleep apnea happens when soft tissue in your throat blocks your airway; hence, this is called obstructive sleep apnea. As you try to breathe in and out, air vibrates the tissue causing that annoying and often loud snoring that awakens your sleep partner.<\/p>\n

A nightguard shifts your lower (mandibular) jaw slightly forward in order to open your airway for easy breathing. This oral appliance is made of smooth medical grade plastic that fits comfortably in your mouth, so you can wear it night after night to ensure that both you and your spouse sleep well and are alert and productive during the day.<\/p>\n
