Q: Do you believe snoring can be a ground for divorce? Julius C my darling, my husband do not snore nor do I and I am not contemplating divorce, I want to know how people can survive in a marriage without sleep when they have a chain saw sawing away every night.
A: We were almost there. Hubby suffered from sleep apnea and he would wake up the kids in the other room. He even slept on the 3rd floor and we could still hear him Thanks to modern technology he went for the CPAP surgery basically they removed all the soft tissue from that back of his throat. Where your tonsils are. They also cut off 3/4 of his little tongue (the small tongue at the back of your throat) because it was way to big and when he slept the muscles relaxed and it covered his throat and cut off his oxygen. Back to the point. When you don't sleep at night. Your body just breaks down. Why do you think they use sleep deprivation for torture? I was so irritated it puts a lot of stress on the relationship. People whose partners snore know this. I was getting about 1 hour of sleep a night and you just can't function normally. I can see how people get to the point of divorce.
