Snoring in the Spare Room

According to some estimates up to 30% of snorers are sleeping in a separate bedroom from their spouse.  Paul Rosenblatt, author of Two in a Bed: The Social Systemof Couple Bed Sharing states that sleep problems are “probably the most common unresolved difficulty” in marriages.  67% of people who were married or living with someone report that their partner snores according to the National Sleep Foundation – causing sleep deprivation for both parties.

If you have been banished to the spare room or are ready to send your spouse to sleep on the couch it may be time to visit a sleep specialist.  Loud snoring may be a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea, a serious condition in which the sleeper’s airway is partially or totally blocked many times each night causing the sleeper to stop breathing.  Treatment for snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea can be as simple as an oral appliance created by Dr. Mark Levy, your Columbus area Dental Sleep Medicine practitioner.

Contact Dr. Levy today for a consultation to discuss your snoring treatment options.  Our office is conveniently located in Gahanna, Ohio.   A better nights sleep is possible for your and your spouse call 614-454-3488 today to find out how.
