Women too soft on partner's snoring

Women should do whatever they can to get a full night's sleep when it comes to snoring partners, researchers say. As the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk reports, according to British scientists, those who listen passively to the dulcet tones of their soundly-sleeping partner may be missing out on up to five hour's sleep a week. The University of Surrey http://www.surrey.ac.uk researchers, who have spoken to 25 couples so far, have found that plenty of women snore as well, but men are much more likely to wake them up. According to sleep experts, there are many ways for people to stop themselves snoring. Missing out on sleep can lead to sleepiness in the daytime, potentially affecting performance at work and ability to drive safely.
