Snorers 'like bulldog cut in half with rusty chainsaw' drive couples apart Not the ideal solution but we are a lot happier as we are not constantly sniping at each other through tiredness. "We go to bed several hours apart," said user Anifrangapani. It is either that or divorce papers. A no-fault divorce - we are both really bad. The annual National Stop Snoring Week, which runs from April 22-26, was launched by the British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association which is dedicated to "helping people get a good night's sleep." According to the association, "snoring is something that cannot be stopped at will, neither is it something that can be 'cured'. It can however, be successfully controlled. Snoring is caused by a physical abnormality that needs to be identified before a way to control it can be found, it adds, saying: "This is not as difficult as it seems and the good news is there is a control for everybody."
