How Sleep Apnea Affects a Partner's Health

Sleep deprivation affects every part of the body and causes heart problems, elevated stress hormones, depression, diabetes and obesity. These symptoms are just a part of the list. There is an emotional side to suffering with a snorer in bed. The snoring and breathing cessation is so disturbing that often the patient is kicked out of his or her bed and forced to sleep on the couch or in another room. Not good for a marriage or any partnership. Relationships suffer, as much as the body suffers.
