Put A Sock In It




It is now that time of year when people are starting to think about their annual summer holiday; for many this is the highlight of the year.

Planning to ensure everything is perfect can take months. For example, visiting numerous travel agents, looking at lots of brochures, renewing your passport, saving your spending money, buying the suntan lotion, and packing the case. Often the first time you will get a chance to relax will be when you set off on your journey… but what is that dreadful noise beside you spoiling your holiday already… your partner snoring?

48% of people admit that snoring has ruined their holidays, with 6% having had their holidays completed wrecked, often resulting in arguments with both the snorer and their partner left tired and irritable. A recent survey conducted by the British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association (BSSAA) reveals the extreme tactics some holidaymakers employ to escape the snoring, with 23% admitting to sleeping on the balcony and 20% sleeping in the bathroom to avoid the sounds! It's no surprise then that the emotion that dominates the mood of 74% of people who holiday with snorers, is anger!

Holidays can be very expensive and yet snoring has driven 11% of people to book two separate rooms, making that search for peace and quiet an extremely costly one! A further 30% would book a separate room if they could. In contrast 51% of snorers have taken no action at all to minimize their snoring.
