If you don't think your partner's loud snores that keep you awake at night are a big deal, then here's something you need to think about. Those snores are keeping you awake for two years of your life. Snoring is not just an annoyance but could be an illness called apnea, which can stop a person from breathing up two hundred times a night.
Because it involves snoring, many women don't realise they might be at risk.
