Snoring
Snoring isn’t just an annoyance for your partner as they struggle to sleep every night. Chronic slumber snuffling could also be a sign of sleep apnea, in which you stop breathing while sleeping for 10 to 20 seconds, upwards of hundreds of times per night. Sleep apnea raises the risk for heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure, so don’t hesitate to get checked out if your partner disappears to the couch every night to get some decent sleep.
Being sedentary
If you spend a lot of time on the couch, you’re not helping your heart, as long periods of sitting have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Even if you work out hard for 30 minutes—and then sit around all day—you are still at risk, so make an effort to move every hour.
