Impossible say my teenagers! But in actuality excessive sleep is frequently fragmented and un-refreshing. If you nap, early afternoon is best. If you feel unrested after 8 hours plus of sleep you may in high likelihood have sleep apnea.
It is difficult to know for sure if snoring can break up a relationship. Certainly it can cause stress if both partners are getting suboptimal sleep.

I would suggest taking care of the snoring is a better alternative!!!
