For individuals who have partners that snore, getting a good night’s sleep can be a challenge. Even after trying various foam earplugs, the quality of sleep may not improve. However, solving this issue does not have to involve sleeping separately. According to Russell Foster, a professor of circadian neuroscience at the University of Oxford, sleeping in different bedrooms can be seen as the “beginning of a new relationship” and can lead to happier and more responsive partners. Mel, a 34-year-old accountant from Sussex, can vouch for this. After years of frustration, resentment, and tension, she and her partner decided to sleep apart, and it significantly improved their relationship and her overall health. Mel, who is a light sleeper, used to constantly wake up her partner, which resulted in sleepless nights and strained interactions during the day. However, since sleeping apart, they both wake up feeling refreshed and happier. While they don’t sleep separately every night, they prioritize it when Mel knows she has a busy day ahead. Thomas, a 42-year-old filmmaker from Nottingham, also understands the benefits of sleeping apart in a snoring situation. He tried various solutions to stop snoring but to no avail. Initially, he was hesitant when his husband suggested sleeping in separate rooms, fearing it meant the end of their relationship. However, realizing that it would alleviate guilt and improve their sleep quality, Thomas decided to give it a try. Having a larger house made the transition easier for them. Learning about other couples who had experienced positive outcomes from sleeping separately helped Thomas feel more comfortable with the idea. On the other hand, Clare Buntic and her husband, who have been married for 31 years, are hesitant to sleep apart. Despite her husband’s snoring, Clare is not willing to sacrifice the physical closeness they share. She has tried various earplugs to block out the sound, even though some attempts resulted in accidents. Fortunately, Clare recently discovered a sleep mask that doubles as headphones, allowing her to listen to radio shows or podcasts while blocking out the snoring. She believes that maintaining that last moment of conversation before bed is crucial as they grow older. Overall, the key takeaway is that sleeping separately can have a positive impact on partners of chronic snorers, leading to improved sleep and happier relationships.
