Stop him snoring All too often men make their partner's life a misery with their snoring habits. The sheer loudness of the noise is the main problem for a partner. Many actually stop breathing temporarily, sometimes up to nine hundred times a night.
Problems associated with sleep apnoea include high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke.
Noisy breathing is the main sympton. Sleep apnoea results in daytime tiredness as the sufferer wakes up repeatedly during the night, often without realising it. He may also suffer morning headaches, memory problems and difficulty in concentrating. A cold or an allergy can cause snoring. Men with larger necks are more likely to snore.
