Effect Of Snoring In Family Relationships!
That's the conclusion of a new survey in which people blame their partner's sleeping habits for the trend of sleeping in separate beds sometimes or having different rooms altogether for getting some shut-eye.
Forty per cent said snoring made sharing a bed or a room impossible, while 24 per cent blamed fidgeting and 13 per cent said getting up for the toilet was the most disruptive bedtime behaviour.
A fifth said they were more tired on a Monday than they were the previous week, while 54 per cent said they were more argumentative with their loved ones after a bad night's sleep. Many still feel tense from work and most are in the dark about how to wind down properly.
