Seven out of 10 people in Sutton say their partner's snoring has caused them to argue or lose sleep.

According to a new survey, 72 per cent of people in Sutton say they have argued or lost sleep because of their partner's grunts, snorts and whistling in bed.

The figure is slightly higher than the average for the rest of London.

BMI healthcare, which conducted the survey, has advised snorers to lose weight, limit alcohol in the evening, quit smoking, avoid sleeping tablets and sleep on their backs if they want to stop.
