Married couples know that tying the knot means making sacrifices, but not many newlyweds expect giving up a good night’s sleep to be one of them.

For better or worse, almost seven out of 10 newlywed couples (67 percent) report that one or the other partner snores, according to a recent national survey of newlyweds. And more than 40 percent of snorers and bed partners say that snoring adds stress to their relationship.

Snoring not only takes the bliss out of the bedroom, but a poor night’s sleep significantly affects how nearly six out of 10 respondents (59 percent) function the next day, according to the survey.

Surprisingly, 40 percent of newlyweds consider snoring to be “a fact of life” and have not taken any measures to manage the problem. Well, that is unless you consider the “nudging, prodding or yelling” that goes on in 29 percent of America’s bedrooms when the sleep-deprived bed partners desperately try to stop the noise.

Help is at hand. The Breathe Right brand is coming to the rescue of sleep-deprived couples and vows to bring harmony — and blissful silence — back to the bedroom. Snoring solutions, including new Breathe Right Snore Relief throat rinse, can transform restless nights into sleep-filled, peaceful ones.

Snoring is a breathing problem. When you’re awake, air flows freely through your breathing passages. But at night, nasal passages become restricted and throat muscles relax making it harder for air to pass through. These two problems cause snoring.

Nasal strips, throat spray or throat rinse from the Breathe Right brand, or a combination of these products, can help 85 percent of snorers get relief.

Breathe Right Snore Relief throat rinse is clinically proven to reduce the loudness and frequency of snoring by lubricating throat tissues to minimize vibrations and control the snoring sound.

Breathe Right Snore Relief throat spray lubricates throat tissues with a blend of natural oils and is clinically proven to reduce the loudness and frequency of snoring.

Drug-free Breathe Right nasal strips use flexible, spring-like bands to gently life open nasal passages so you can breathe through your nose and close your mouth.

The national survey also revealed that more than two-thirds of newlyweds try to create a loving atmosphere by saying “I love you” every night upon retiring. Forty-two percent of those surveyed make sure they never go to bed angry. Happily, only 4 percent said that separate beds are good for their relationship.
