In the case of snoring, the condition’s masculine associations can often discourage women from reporting their experiences in full.
and you’ll be met by a familiar scene. Alongside the odd anatomical diagram and product advertisement, you’ll find a variety of photos and illustrations of a man snoring in bed with a woman lying awake beside him.
The reality is far more complicated, however. According to statistics, men do snore more than women – recent research from Hannah*, 26, from south London, is one of the many women who has felt the impact of snoring’s masculine depiction. To the best of her belief, she’s snored since her pre-teen years, but she’s never spoken to her GP about it – and still feels embarrassed when people hear her or bring it up.
“I always feel ‘unladylike’ whenever my snoring is experienced by others or spoken about in a social setting,” she tells. “It feels like men are more able to snore without people having an issue or without their physical health being up for discussion.”
