Let’s face it….your partner’s sleeping habits effect you more than him. When he snores, he is still sleeping unlike you, who lay awake, counting sheep, making your grocery list in your head or thinking about all of the things you could be doing at 2 in the morning instead of listening to him snore.  As you watch the clock, minute by minute or hour by hour, trying to rouse your partner from his loud snores, you pray for sleep to overtake you. How can he not wake himself up with the symphony of snores and loud breathing?

 What you could be listening to is sleep apnea. If you partner is loudly breathing, snoring and having periods of breathing stoppages he should consult a doctor to determine if he has a sleep apnea. To combat the condition, a doctor will prescribe a CPAP machine, which can be purchased through CPAP Supply. Insurance might cover part or all of the cost of the equipment after an approval process. In severe cases of obstructive sleep apnea, a doctor would recommend a bipap machine which can be found through the same type of company that sells CPAP machines. 

Encouraging your partner to seek medical advice can save you many sleepless nights as well as help him get a better sleep and be more rested.
