How loud is snoring? Many snorers reach 90 decibels. That’s about the same decibel level as a passing freight train, a Mac Truck, even the noise of a jet aircraft.

Is it any wonder a recent survey found that snoring is the cause of one in seven domestic disputes? About 95 percent of those questioned say they are wakened by their partner’s heavy snoring at least once a week, with 39 percent being awakened every night!

Ear plugs remove about 33 decibels. That still leaves a lot of noise out there!

Another poll revealed that 80 percent of couples wind up sleeping in separate rooms, all because one partner can no longer tolerate sleeping next to someone who sounds like a diesel truck.   Besides the social ramifications of snoring, it can also have serious health effects.

New research published in the European Heart Journal shows snoring can increase your blood pressure,  no matter whether you are awake or asleep.    Then, too, there are the adverse health effects to the sleepless partner.

During one famous court case, a woman was being questioned about the death of her husband, who had apparently suffocated during the night. As the prosecutor, who suspected the wife of murder, bore down on her with his questions, the wife became more and more unnerved. In typical Perry Mason style, he quickly turned on her and blurted out:   “Why did you suffocate your husband with his pillow?” To which she screamed out:

“You would have killed him,  too,  if you had to try to sleep with his constant snoring!”

True or spurious? Who knows?    But one thing is for certain, sleep deprived people don’t think straight,  become very emotionally-driven and quick to snap.

That’s because everyone needs sleep. It is vital to our health and well-being.   While we sleep, our bodies and minds are mended, repaired, and recharged. Take the sleep away and things can get very nasty — very fast!

So this is the subject of our blog. Snoring. And cures for snoring – particularly natural cures.
