Last week we were told a healthy amount of sleep every night ‘is better for you than money’.
Insomnia can drive people to dark places, ironically where they can’t get to sleep. But did you know terrible sleeping habits have driven almost half of Britons to sleep in separate beds?
And as many as one in 10 have split, or considered a split, from a partner due to their irritating sleeping habits
Men twice as likely as women to split with a partner with this reasoning.
Currently, a whopping 45 per cent of Brits fail to reach the recommended seven hours sleep per night, which is classed as Chronic Sleep Deprivation.
Thousands of Brits have confessed to having considered dumping their girlfriend or boyfriend because of an annoying nighttime activity.
Surprise, surprise: snoring is the number one most irritating offence likely to see you split from your partner.
A study of 2000 participants by Made.com revealed snoring as the most dumpable offence, followed by heavy breathing, huffing and puffing, tossing andturning, and starfishing.
This is how to stop your partner snoring – don’t risk your relationship before you try it.
Passing wind in bed was cited by 13 per cent as a dump-worthy offence, with women twice as likely as men to split over it.
