Phsychological aspects: snoring




While snoring may popularly be seen in some circles as a minor affliction, snorers can suffer severe impairment of lifestyle.





1.snoring strains interpersonal relationships
The between-subjects trial by Armstrong et al. discovered a statistically significant improvement in marital relations after snoring was surgically corrected.Studies have shown that there is a direct inverse relationship between snoring and frequency of sexual activity between married partners, meaning that there is generally less sexual activity if one of the partners is a heavy snorer.

2.psychological discormfort to listener
Also, studies have shown that there is a psychological component in snoring which causes discomfort in any listener, depending on the loudness, tone, frequency, and other auditorial attributes of the snore. Listeners, mainly spouses also have difficulty sleeping at night.
