Do You Have Annoying Sleep Habits? See The Results

Author Mike Anthony

Just the other night, as I was going to sleep, my wife wished me a good night and said “Here’s to a night not filled with you snoring excessively.” I was like “Have I been bad lately?” She responded by detailing the levels of snoring I reach and what she does to counteract or stop them.

When it’s really bad and wakes her up, she does everything from sighing loudly and coughing to punching the bed, to finally poking me in the arm. If I wake up, she pretends to be asleep so that I don’t know what it was that I felt.

So, yes, I have annoying sleep habits and it seems I’m not alone!

There was a recent sleep survey done by Serta Simmons Bedding, that concluded half of the couples would be all about sleeping in separate beds for the sake of getting a good night’s sleep. 

As for the most common annoyances people find in sleeping with their partner?

Here are the results:

  • stealing the covers (35%)
  • tossing and turning (35%,
  • keeping the television on (28%)
  • snoring (28%)
  • leaving the lights on (27%) 

This survey also found a few other points that were pretty interesting. My wife and I both shower before bed.  It helps us wind down and get ready for a peaceful sleep.  (That is of course if I’m not snoring loudly). That works out great since we’re both on the same page when it comes to washing up.

The survey found that Nearly two-thirds (64%) said “yes” and 58% confirmed they would be pretty upset if their partner didn’t wash up before bedtime.. 

As for parents – there’s more to it than just their partner’s sleep habits. Over one-third reported that their child snuck into their bed two nights a week (37%) and one in five (20%) said that they were woken up by a child getting into bed with them three nights a week.

Thankfully, our kids have grown past that stage for the most part.  But now – what do I do about that snoring??!!

    Bobs Burgers follows restaurateur, Bob Belcher, who deals with various situations while running his dream restaurant with the help of his uptight wife and their three underachieving kids.

  • 1. Family Guy – 20.2%

    Family Guy, an animated sitcom also created by Seth MacFarlane, hits the #1 spot as the most popular show. The series has won 9 Emmys and is in its 21st season. The show follows no linear storyline and so can be watched in any order without the viewer feeling lost. The show follows the adventures of the Griffin family with endearingly ignorant Peter, housewife Lois and their three kids. Meg, the eldest child, is a social outcast, teenage Chris is awkward and clueless when it comes to the opposite sex and Stewie is their genius baby who is bent on killing his mother and destroying the world. To top it off, they have a talking dog, Brian, who keeps Stewie in check while sipping martinis and sorting through his own life issues. The light-hearted comedy is what makes it a perfect choice to fall asleep to.

Mike is all about having fun each afternoon. He brings you concert tickets, some fun trivia, and of course the best bands. Other interests outside of being at WDHA are drums, movies, and my family.
