ALMOST two thirds of people in Northern England admitted that they snore in a YouGov survey commissioned for Snoreeze.

While almost 64 per cent of people in the North admitted to snoring themselves, a massive 86 per cent of those in relationships dropped their partner in it and said that they snore.

Snoreeze spokesperson Richard Wiffen said: "Snoring is a complicated issue, with the main cause being relaxed muscle tension in the upper airway. This relaxation leads to narrowed airways, vibration of soft tissue, and the unmistakeable sound of snoring.

"Snoring relief products such as Snoreeze Throat Spray, Throat Rinse, Lozenges and Oral Strips can all provide a solution for this type of snoring, and are clinically proven to be effective for up to 8 hours.

"Colds, allergies and a blocked nose can also cause snoring as the nasal passages become congested, forcing you to breathe through your mouth."

Snoring is often brushed off as a bit of a joke, but the results of the Snoreeze survey show that it is putting an unnecessary strain on many relationships across the North.
