Andy Galpin | How Your Partner Can Negatively Impact Your Sleep Quality @drandygalpin | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 20 minutes ago.
If you're struggling with sleep and feel like you've tried everything to no avail, you might consider getting your partner checked. I've seen it more times than I can count. Partner A can't fall asleep, stay asleep, or just feels crummy every morning. The assumption is that a sleep problem exists. Partner B is the opposite; falls and stays asleep easily.
After endless tests and treatments, Partner A sees little or no progress. In the recent episode of Perform, I talked about how frequently we've found this stems from disordered sleep in Person B (the 'good sleeper')!
For example, a big problem can be a partner's snoring (sometimes perceivable by Partner A, and SOMETIMES NOT!). Snoring can disturb the sleep of the person sharing the bed, causing them to have broken sleep and overall poor sleep quality.
When the partner's snoring was treated, often with medical help and proper treatment, the other person's sleep quality improved immediately and stayed that way. It's important to consider environmental and relationship factors when diagnosing and treating sleep problems.
