Snoring is known to cause sleep deprivation to snorers and those around them, as well as daytime drowsiness, irritability, lack of and decreased libido. It has also been suggested that it can cause significant psychological and social damage to sufferers.
Multiple studies reveal a positive correlation between loud snoring and risk of heart attack (about +34% chance) and stroke (about +67% chance).
Armstrong et al. at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh found that snoring strains
interpersonal relationships, and concerns for its effects were often voiced above the medical malady. Patients also lamented the social
embarrassment arising from complaints when they sleep outside their homes. Both business and holiday arrangements can be detrimentally affected.
Though snoring is often considered a minor affliction, snorers can sometimes suffer severe impairment of lifestyle. The between-subjects trial by Armstrong et al. discovered a statistically
significant improvement in marital relations after snoring was surgically corrected. This was confirmed by evidence from Gall et al, Cartwright
and Knight and Fitzpatrick et al.
