Robbie, treat your snoring... for Ayda

IN A candid confession on her podcast, Ayda Field Williams has discussed her ‘completely dead’ sex life with her husband, Robbie Williams. Once, the bedroom was a place for ‘physical need’, she said, but four children have ‘obliterated’ any chance at love-making. I’m sure a lot of couples will sympathise.

But there was something else that caught my attention: the impact of Robbie’s erratic sleeping patterns and snoring on the couple. Ayda explained that sometimes not even an earthquake would rouse him, but at others he can’t sleep and will keep her up, too.

The impact of snoring on a partner shouldn’t be underestimated. The disruption it causes to their sleep can push people over the edge. There are remedies available and it’s worth being checked for medical conditions, such as sleep apnoea. Not only does it improve the snorer’s life, but it improves beyond measure the life of the person they share their bed with.
