More than a quarter of couples have slipped out of the marital bed and escaped to a spare room because of their partner's snoring. A recent survey involving almost 1,000 volunteers revealed that one in ten people deem their other half's snoring a major turn-off in the bedroom. Half of the couples surveyed by the anti-snoring spray makers Asnor admitted they argue about snoring at least once a week. Poking the offending sleeper in the ribs was agreed to be the best way of making it stop, with women more likely to employ this method than men.
