Don’t let snoring keep you awake

Research shows a clear link between good sleep and improved mental health. Disruptions to your sleep (like snoring) can also take its toll on your physical health too. That’s why quality sleep is so important – and why we’re listing all the ways it can improve your life.

Benefits of a good night’s sleep

Boosts mental wellbeing

A single night without sleep can put you in a bad mood, let alone a whole week of sleepless nights. Chronic sleep deprivation could lead to clinical depression and generalised anxiety disorder in adults.

Helps you maintain a healthy weight

Studies have shown that people who sleep less than 7 hours a day tend to gain more weight, and have a higher risk of becoming obese than those who get 7 hours. Being overweight can also increase your chances of snoring, leading you into a cycle of disrupted sleep.

Improves attention and concentration

Feel like your mind is wandering a little too much? A full night’s sleep can make you feel energised and alert, ready to engage with your tasks throughout the day.

Boosts immunity

When your body takes a hit from flu or a cold, sleep gives it time to rest and repair itself. So next time you catch a bug, get an early night and protect your health.

Helps you learn and make memories

When you wake up after a good night’s sleep, you’re more likely to look at a problem differently. This is because while you sleep, your brain organises and processes things that you learnt during the day. Short-term memories turn into long-term memories.

Is snoring disrupting your sleep?

Snoring is often joked about, but it can have a real impact  on the quality of both your own and your partner’s sleep. Studies show that bed partners of snorers are more likely to suffer ill health than those with silent partners.

Sometimes loud snoring is a sign of something more serious, like obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). People with OSA stop breathing while they sleep, often up to hundreds of times in a single night. Their body will constantly ‘wake itself up’ to a lighter stage of sleep in order to breathe. This is why many people with OSA feel so tired the following day.

How to have a snore-free night

Making simple lifestyle changes can help reduce snoring, such as cutting out alcohol, cigarettes, and committing to more exercise. If these changes don’t have much of an effect, a snoring relief product could help. Different products are designed to treat different types of snoring, you can find out more here.
