(OPEN):
WHILE COMMUNICATION AND ROMANCE CAN GREATLY IMPACT YOUR RELATIONSHIPS,
A NEW SURVEY HAS FOUND THAT SNORING IS ALSO A MAJOR PLAYER. THE
SURVEY--CONDUCTED BY GLAXO-SMITH-KLINE CONSUMER HEALTH-CARE--INDICATES
THAT ONE IN THREE PEOPLE WHO SHARE A BED WITH A SNORER SAY THAT SNORING
IS AMONG THE TOP THREE THINGS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE ABOUT THEIR
MATE. HALF OF SNORER-BED-PARTNERS ALSO SAY THAT SNORING DISRUPTS
THEIR ABILITY TO GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP--LEADING MORE THAN 40-PERCENT
OF THEM TO CONFESS TO HAVING SLEPT IN SEPARATE BEDS.
RELATIONSHIP EXPERT, DENNIE HUGHES...
(HUGHES):
"SNORING AFFECTS NEARLY 50-MILLION U-S HOUSEHOLDS--AND CAN
BE A HUGE ISSUE, IN RELATIONSHIP STABILITY. IT CERTAINLY CAN BRING
ABOUT RESENTMENT--IF THE SNORER REFUSES TO SEEK HELP. MANY COUPLES
DON'T REALIZE THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN BE ADDRESSED WITH A SIMPLE,
DRUG-FREE SOLUTION--LIKE 'BREATHE RIGHT' NASAL STRIPS. WHEN
MY HUSBAND REALIZED THAT ALL IT TOOK WAS A SMALL STRIP ACROSS HIS NOSE,
HE WAS IMMEDIATELY ON BOARD; AND, YOU KNOW, THAT MADE THINGS BETTER."
