And the Snoring and Sleep
Apnoea Association say those married to snorers lose
a massive two years of sleep during an average marriage, One in 10 couples even
consider splitting up or living apart, and one in four believe it ruins their sex life.
And it's not just the mere mortals who suffer. Madonna, 48, had years of
sleepless nights after marrying film director Guy Ritchie, 38. He said: "She doesn't
like it at all and, when it's at its worst, she boots me out of bed."
Hollywood beauty Uma Thurman, 36, said being in bed with ex-husband Ethan
Hawke, 26, was "like sleeping with a hers of bellowing elephants".
And who can forget David Gest, 53, drowning out the beast of the jungle with his
wild snoring in I'm a Celeb...? Thankfully, all that can be a thing of the past as
MATT GLASS gives some top cures to combat snoring.
Laser Treatment
Laser-Assisted Uvulopalatoplasty was invented by
accident by Professor Yves
Kamani at The Private Clinic in London.
While performing laser surgery on tonsillitis sufferers, Professor Kamani found that
the laser beam was gently remoulding the patient's uvula - the muscle in the back
of the throat which vibrates, causing the snoring noise.
After treatment, his patients found that not only had he cured their tonsillitis, but
their snoring had stopped too! Snorers can have the operation in their lunch hour,
as it takes less than ten minutes.
Patients sit upright in a dentist's chair while the work is carried out, and the only
anaesthetic needed for the treatment is applied via a spray to the back of the
throat.
Amazingly, sufferers will see results almost immediately. The only pain patients
feel is a slight sore throat for a week or so afterwards.
Prices only available on consultation.
