When it comes to the thoughts of snoring interfering within a couple's marriage, the first thought is that the husband is the one snoring away sound asleep, while the wife is constantly being awaken throughout the night. But there has now been more resent studies that paints a completely new picture from the traditional male snoring infringements in the bedroom. To our consternation, studies are currently showing that it is the women doing the heavy snoring more often than not, while there are higher numbers of men finding themselves upon the suffering end of the situation.
Since there are still numerous amounts of men that fall on the side of being heavy sleepers anyway, this just may be as for why some of them are less bothered by their wives snoring, with the exception for those light sleeping husbands. For those that are wondering about the gender roles changing when it comes to snoring, many questions are steadily popping up. There is still the surprise in the findings, or at least a strong curiosity as to why there are now so many more women snoring, than there seemed to be in the past. This new epidemic of women snoring more now than ever before has got many professionals scratching their heads having to ask what is going on to cause such a role reversal!
Snoring has for awhile been known to be a sign of importance for reasons of health issues, and for the after affects of daily sleep deprivation. But for women that regularly snore and are pregnant, there are recent Swedish studies findings showing that since the woman are constantly stopping their breathing throughout the night, the fetus are being deprived of oxygen. If the oxygen deprivation is often and long enough throughout the 9 months of pregnancy, there may be a heightened increase in the appropriate growth formations. These risks includes the brain health for the child's future learning abilities, and the proper growth of all other body organs, along with a fetus's outer limb formations and facial features.
Women that snore are being found to be living stressed lives, extra weight or obesity, high blood pressure, and even higher overall rates of heart disease, than men. Although obesity, stress and the other health issues are found in men, women are in a higher risk bracket with many of these health issues even without the problems of snoring. As for the obesity or just being over-weight, emotional over eating has too been found to be more common in woman than in men.
More women than ever are being required to work outside the home. Women are to be a full-time parent no matter if they are single or married, be the one with the most responsibility of cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, be the main driver for doctors and dentists appointments, and to be there for school or performance events for the children. The list goes on, and women are finding themselves exhausted and very unhealthy. Whether pure exhaustion is a huge contributing factor in why more women are now being found to snore or not, the hazardous problem of snoring still remains.
If you answered "yes" to either question, you may be sabotaging your efforts. As a Marriage, Family Therapist, I helped many clients, through a process I developed called HART (Holistic And Rapid Transformation), get in touch with their negative, self-defeating thoughts and change them to positive ones. Since beliefs are magnetic, they were then able to attract what they wanted.
The following are 20 unconscious reasons why you may be pushing away the relationship you desire and deserve, an example, and a positive thought to turn the negative belief into a positive one. If you recognize a negative thought is one of yours, then first imagine that you are deleting (erasing) it from your mind, and then say and write the positive thought. Keep repeating the affirmation until it becomes part of your automatic thinking.

If you related to any of the negative thoughts, cleared them, and said the positive thought, you probably feel better about relationships and yourself. If you still are not attracting what you want, then write down the following: "I can't or won't be in a loving relationship because____ (and finish the sentence)." Then do the same process as above. You do deserve a loving, healthy relationship. Go for it!
