HEALTHY LIVING TIPS

People snore for a vast array of different reasons. Some people snore because they suffer from a breathing problem while others do so because the tissues of their throat are loose and weak. Advances in medical science have made it possible for anyone who has a problem with snoring to be able to treat it effectively, regardless of the cause of their snoring.

Being healthy will also help you to prevent snoring, this means no smoking, exercising regularly and cutting down on alcohol consumption. You might have heard of surgery as a way of preventing snoring, but before you visit your doctor there are some other remedies you can look into that may help you and your partner get a good nights sleep.

Throat Sprays to Treat Snoring

People whose snoring is directly correlated with a breathing or sinus problem may be able to use certain throat sprays to prevent snoring. If you wake up with a dry or sore throat after having snored, using an over the counter throat spray may work for you.

The reason for this feeling is that the soft tissues in your throat are bruised from hours of vibrations in your soft palate. The vibrations can also dry out your soft tissues. Preventing snoring with a throat spray is similar to using a nasal spray to combat congestion.

The natural oils in throat sprays dampen the soft tissues of your throat and the uvula, which is the dangling tissue in the back of your mouth. This dampening might not keep your throat tissue from vibrating entirely, but it will at least lessen the severity of the vibrations and may be able to help you breathe better as well.

Natural Snoring Cures

There are also some herbal remedies that have been prepared to stop people from snoring. The natural ingredients in anti-snoring supplements work to help you breath better and to break up the mucous in your throat that makes snoring worse. Other airway opening herbal remedies include nasal sprays and nose drops.

Mouth Breathing

Breathing through your mouth is another thing that can cause snoring. Preventing snoring could be just a mouth guard away. Breathing through your mouth is an automatic response to having a congested nose. You cant breathe properly through your nose so you compensate by breathing through your mouth. A mouthpiece designed for snorers will correct this by forcing you to breathe through your nose.

The pillow choice you make can mean the difference between a good nights sleep or a lousy one. With an unevenly shaped pillow, it is much more difficult for the body to concentrate on the feeling of relaxation and rest.

Taking the time to learn about what pillow is right for will pay off big time in terms of the kind of sleep you will get. A well made pillow can easily turn a weary night to one of the most relaxing evenings of your life. It is critical to make sure that you know exactly where to go and how to find the pillow for your sleep.

Nowadays pillows come in various shapes and sizes. The material varies immensely and can be dictated by the price tag. A few centuries or decades ago, men and women use feathers to stock the contents of their pillow. Today, there is always the most viable option of getting elastic foam.

A very popular material used in pillow construction is visco elastic foam. These foam pillows provide unequaled support for a persons head and neck. It is well known in most manufacturing industries that memory foam, another term used for the visco elastic foam, is a great way to enhance blood circulation in the body.

With the help of the memory foam, the body is able to create the right molds or curves that will help the body in its breathing patterns. In many ways, this contributes to a very good sleep.

The position that you sleep in will dictate the size, shape and type of pillow that you ultimately end up with. For instance, if you are petite and often sleep at a fetal position, there will be a specific shape of memory foam assigned for your use. Back sleepers will a different pillow size and shape

As with all other materials used for making pillow materials, this type of foam also makes use of different sizes. Depending on your size, the neck curve will be estimated so as to fully support your body from head to foot.

As you can there are many factors that go into choosing the right pillow for you. Size, height, weight, sleeping position and other physical needs such as a person that suffers from allergies or asthma should all be considered when making a pillow choice.

Snoring is a major problem in many parts of the world, you are not alone in your quest to find out how to stop snoring however, in order to find a workable solution you need to determine the exact cause first.

The causes of snoring can be quite complex and the first step in seeking out a solution is to get your exact condition identified by a doctor.

Discovering The Reasons Why You Snore

One common cause of snoring is actually tonsilitis, the usual solution offered for this is surgery.

If the doctor suspects sleep apnea then he will usually send you for a sleep study otherwise known as a polysomnogram.

Tests can also be performed by you to see if the problem can be corrected by eliminating something in the home that is causing breathing difficulties and is responsible for snoring.

There are many causes which can include feather pillows, household chemicals, perfumes and pet hair to name a few. The elimination of some of the causes may relieve the snoring problem.

Typical over the counter snoring remedies include nasal sprays or strips you place across your nose to keep the passages open.

If you are a mouth breather this can cause snoring. There are also stop snoring solutions for this type of problem. A device called a chin-up strip can be used to keep your mouth closed and teach you to breathe through the nose instead.

Another reason for snoring is a problem with your tongue. The base can get in the way of your breathing passage and this creates the snoring sound.

Physical remedies such as a mandibular advancement device can be used to pin your tongue against the lower jaw, this stops it from flapping and causing obstruction.

Yet another cause of snoring is vibration of the soft palate at the back of the mouth. Simply put this can vibrate with air flow and give rise to the sound of snoring.

The hidden problem : sleep apnea

As stated earlier sleep apnea is dangerous and should be investigated by a health professional immediately.

Sleep apnea causes the sufferer to actually stop breathing, it is obstructive to restful sleep and can be dangerous especially if the person has a demanding physical job.

Because they stop breathing for 10 seconds or longer the blood flow to the heart and the brain is stopped as well. The result of this can be many things but one major issue is failure of the left side of the heart.

This is not to say that everyone who has sleep apnea has it this bad. There are milder forms that can be taken care of simply by using a wedge pillow or elevating the head of their bed. However, it is always wise to make certain before trying to treat yourself.

Some other reasons for snoring include, nasal congestion, obesity and general sinus problems.

Here in Lucidology 101 part 5 we’ll cover the exact relaxation routine you can use to fall asleep quickly to cure insomnia and enter waking sleep paralysis for frequent lucid dreams and O.B.E.s.

How To Save A Boatload Of Time On The Relaxation Stage

You don’t have to spend hours relaxing every part of your body to have O.B.E.s. About 90% of your body’s tension is in about 10% of your muscles. If you target just those key areas you can quickly relax enough that your body will interpret it as a signal to sleep.

The Best Place To Start Relaxing

Most books on relaxation say to lay down and start relaxing at your feet and work your way up to your head. That’s not the most effective way to do it because the vast majority of your body’s tension is in your jaws, not your feet.

The jaw is the strongest muscle area in terms of extorted force. The world record for bite strength is 975 foot-pounds for 2 seconds. No other muscle in your body can exert more total force than your jaw muscles and no other muscle holds more tension.

The Top 5 Health Problems From Excess Jaw Tension

Many people go their whole lives and never consciously think to relax their jaws. This causes bruxism, or “teeth grinding” which wears down your teeth and cause other problems such as: o Tooth aches o Headaches o Ear aches o Tinnitus (which is ringing in the ears) o Even dizziness So the very first thing I do before an O.B.E induction or falling asleep is to relax my jaws. This step is absolutely required. It only takes a few seconds so it gives you the most bang for your buck of all the relaxations you can do.

Step 1: Jaw Relaxation

Start with a very firm massage of the meaty part of your upper jaws in front of and below your ears. This is called your “masseter muscle” and is the single biggest culprit for locked up muscle knots in the entire body. Press strongly with your fingers on both sides of your head and get a ‘good hurt’ feeling.

Step 2: Palm Squeeze

The second step is to squeeze on both sides of your jaws with your palms instead of just your fingers. You can use quite a bit of force when you do this because your jaws are quite strong. Let your jaw go as slack as you can while pressing.

Step 3: The Jaw Stretch

It’s common to stretch before and after exercise such as stretching your legs by touching your toes. But have you ever stretched your jaws muscles? You may look silly doing this, but it really goes a long way to relaxing your jaws. So the third step is to relax your jaws as much as you can then use your fingers to pull your jaws open. You may be surprised how much your jaws resist your fingers but by stretching them you can get the tension out.

My grandfather was a professor of a science called relaxology. One of his colleagues could relax his jaws so much that you could wiggle it with your hands and it felt like there was almost nothing holding his jaws on his head. You don’t have to relax your jaws that much but I mention it to give you an idea just how much tension is in your jaws even if you think they’re relaxed.

Step 4: Horizontal Wall Chest Stretch

Step 4 is to stretch your arms and chest against the wall. Place a palm flat on the wall and turn the trunk of your body so that you get a good stretch from the very tips of your fingers, down your forearm, you bicep, shoulder and all across your chest. Exhale all the tension out. Repeat this twice with both arms.

Step 5: Vertical Chest Stretch

Step 5 is to stretch against the wall by placing both palms above your head against the wall and then bending forward. This really targets your shoulder and chest tension. Inhale and exhale fully and slowly 3 times to work all the tension out. Stand up normally, then repeat the vertical chest stretch.

Step 6: Stretch Your Feet

Step 6 is to stretch the bottom of your feet by propping your foot against the wall and leaning forward. This will also give you a good calf stretch. Repeat this on each foot two more times then sit down and massage the individual muscles in the soles of your feet with your hands.

Step 7: Stretch Your Hands

Step 7 is to stretch the palm of each hand by pushing your fingers back with the other hand. This also gives your forearms a nice stretch.

Step 8: Relax Your Shoulders

Step 8 is the last stretching step. Do some slow windmills to relax your shoulders. It’s tempting to skip this step but your shoulders carry almost as much tension as your jaw so it’s important to stretch and relax your shoulder as much as possible.

Step 9: “Pre-roll” To Dissipate Overall Body Tension

For step 9, remember that one purpose of the roll over signal is to get you to roll over which causes you to gradually gather and release tension. Here’s a trick to speed that up or even skip over it.

Lay down in bed and relax a much as you can for 15 seconds or so. Then roll over and relax for a couple more seconds. Roll again and relax Repeat this several times and you’ll relax the rest of your muscles quite quickly.

This works because normally when you stretch one body part to relax it, you have to tense up another part. For instance, to stretch one hand you had to tense up your other hand. By laying down and rolling around for a minute you stretch and relax everything a little bit at a time and get your “roll over” phase done all at once.

Step 10: Stop Drop And Roll

Once you’re done rolling around, step 10 is to start Stop Drop And Roll. Lay flat on your back with your arms above your head and start daydreaming. See Lucidology 101 part 3 for how to do Stop Drop & Roll to fall asleep if you haven’t yet.

Step 11: Start Sleep Breathing

Step 11 is to begin sleep breathing. See Lucidology 101 part 4 for details if you haven’t seen it yet.

Step 12: Roll Eyes To Relax Them

Step 12 is to relax your eyes and the stop micromovements. Roll your eyes around both directions a few times and then let them rest. The idea is to completely forget that your eyes even exist. To do that count 150 heart beats.

Step 13: 150 Heart Beat Count To Forget About Eyes

Focusing on your heart for a long time will make it feel like it’s going to beat its way out of your chest. However if you get up and actually check your pulse you’ll find that it’s beating like normal. The heart pounding sensation is just a trick of the mind which will help to distract you from your eyes.

Step 12: Bring Arms Down To Enter ‘Drop’ Mode

After 150 heart beats you’ve come to step 14 which is to switch on the roll over signal. Drop your arms down to your side and move to step 15 which is to tense and release each muscle group.

Step 15: Tense And Relax Muscles

By now you should be pretty deeply relaxed. Continue to sleep breathe and sense where you still have some tension left. Slightly tense that area for a moment then release it. This will cause you to relax that muscle further than before you tensed it. Start at your jaws and end at your feet.

To do this, count 150 heart beats starting at 300 which tires your brain out a little faster. After every 10 heart beats pause the count and tense and release another muscle group. For instance, when you get to 160 tense and relax your jaws. At 170 tense and release your face, at 180 your neck and so forth. If you lose track of where what number you’re on that’s a good sign that it’s working and you’re falling asleep.

Step 16: ‘Roll’ Phase

When you get to 450 you’ll either be asleep or feeling the roll over signal. If you don’t have a very strong roll signal then just daydream and continue sleep breathing for a while until it’s strong enough. When you really feel the need to roll over you’ve reached step 16 which is to simply roll over and release any remaining tension. Continue sleep breathing and you’ll black out within a few moments.

Warm Socks

Two things that really speed things up are socks and earplugs. You may not realize how much your body temperature drops when you fall asleep but when you’re feet are just a little bit cold it’s really hard to relax. So wear socks even if you don’t think you need them.

Silicone Earplugs

Earplugs are also incredibly valuable for falling asleep fast. You can get them on amazon or Target. The silicone putty earplugs work the best and you can make them last several uses by washing them with soap after each use.

Here’s the complete system, step by step.

o Jaw Massage o Jaw Palm Squeeze o Jaw Stretch o Horizontal Wall Chest Stretch o Vertical Chest Stretch o Stretch Your Feet o Stretch Your Hands o Relax Your Shoulders o “Pre-Roll” To Dissipate Overall Body Tension o Start “Stop, Drop & Roll”: Hands Above Your Head o Start Sleep Breathing o Roll Eyes To Relax Them o 150 Heart Beat Count To Forget About Eyes o Bring Arms Down To Enter To “Drop” Mode o Tense & Relax Muscles That Are Still Tense o Roll

Coming up in Part 6 you’ll find out how to use the sun to avoid the #1 mistake everyone makes in O.B.E.s & how to optimize your brain chemistry for lucidity.

Plus we’ll cover the ONE O.B.E. induction I would use if I was not allowed to use any others.

In a lot of O.B.E.s it’s really hard to tell what’s going on and whether you’re in an O.B.E or not. Here in Lucidology 101 part 8 you’re about to find out the 4 easiest ways to take the red pill so you know if you’ve shifted into an O.B.E or not.

O.B.E.s Can Be Much More Hyper-detailed Than Waking Awareness

Lucid dreams and O.B.E.s can be extremely realistic. In fact, a lot of times it’s very hard to tell if you’re actually awake or if you’re dreaming.

In fact, sometimes they are actually more realistic than waking awareness. Sometimes after an O.B.E you’ll find that your physical sight is actually hazy and dream-like compared to the hyper detailed realism of the O.B.E.

High Dynamic Range Visuals In O.B.Es

For example, a lot of times your vision will have what photographers called “High Dynamic Range” or HDR. HDR means that there’s a higher range between the bright areas and the dark areas. HDR is anything but dream-like and you may not think at first that you’re actually in an O.B.E because your sight has so much detail. Your sight may also seem like it has a lot more pixels than you have when physically aware. In fact, these O.B.E.s should be called “high bandwidth experiences” because of all the extra sensory information you take in

First Awake/asleep Cycle Is Usually Kind Of Sloppy

This effect is compounded when you use the timer method we covered in Lucidology 101 part 7. Remember that the hypnotic fractionation effect causes you to hover on the awake asleep threshold when you enter and exit trance over and over. The first couple times you wake up and fall asleep, it’s relatively easy to tell if you’re nonphysical or physical because it’s kind of a sloppy cycle and you swing wildly around between being awake and asleep.

The Next Awake/asleep Cycle Is Tighter

However as the hypnotic fractionation effect kicks in, the cycles start to get tighter and tighter.

Eventually You’re Alternating Very Tightly

The O.B.E.s start to become more and more realistic. Eventually it can be very difficult to tell if you’re waking up into your physical bedroom or if you’re in an O.B.E.

False Awakening Loops

This is called a false-awakening loop in which you think you wake up but end up in an O.B.E. You wake up again and end up in another O.B.E. It may take a couple tries before you really do wake up in your physical bedroom again.

False Awakening Loops From Spiraling Off-center

This is because you’ve started spirally off center toward a nonphysical focus. What you need is a way to know that you’re in an O.B.E and wake up for real.

How To Deal With The False-awakening Loop?

Basically you need a way to take the red pill. This is called a reality check. And not just any reality check will do, you need a movement-free reality check so that you can do it without disturbing your trance.

You Need Multiple Reality Checks

In fact you need a set of reality checks because there is no single silver bullet reality check which is 100% reliable.

The 4 Easiest Movement-free Reality Checks

Here are the 4 most effective, most reliable and easiest reality tests that you can start using immediately. I have tested each of these many times to see how well they work and what pitfalls to watch for. These are:

1.) The blindfold test

2.) Transparent eyelids

3.) Overlaid sight

4.) The spoon bending test

The Blindfold Reality Check: The Simplest Reality Check

First is the blindfold reality check. This is easiest reality check of all.

All you do is put on a blindfold and relax into sleep. If at any time you find that you can see the room through the blindfold then you know you’re in a subconscious dream environment and you’re looking at the dream version of your room.

The advantages are that it’s simple and requires no practice Secondly, once it works, there’s no doubt in your mind that it really did work. Also, it’s an ongoing reality check. It’s not something that comes and goes in an instant.

Secret System For Free O.B.E.s That Require No Work

So here’s way you can use the blindfold test for free O.B.E.s that require exactly zero work. The fact is you probably are already having many spontaneous morning O.B.E.s but don’t realize they’re O.B.E.s because you don’t have a system to catch these when they happen. All you need to do is get in the habit of sleeping with a blindfold on. Whenever you wake up and are able to see, you’ll have just gotten a free O.B.E without doing any extra work!

Blindfold Reality Check: Disadvantages

As good as the blindfold test is, it does have its disadvantages For instance you may find the blindfold is distracting and that it’s hard to relax with it on. If you try this method I do recommend getting a padded blindfold in the $20 to $30 range because I find the cheap ones are too uncomfortable to be of any real use.

The second disadvantage is exit blindness. Exit blindness happens a lot especially for new OBEers. When this happens you enter the dream and find that you are blind and so you can’t see with or without the blindfold.

Dream blindness happens a lot and there are solutions to it that we’ll cover later. However, all of these solutions require that you be lucid in the dream so it won’t help if you’re trying to use sight as a reality check.

Transparent Eyelids

One solution is to use the transparent eyelids effect. Transparent eyelids means that you see through your closed eyes into the nonphysical version of your bedroom.

This has the advantage of not wearing a distracting blindfold.

The disadvantage with the transparent eyelids effect is it’s difficult to feel whether your eyelids are really open or closed.

So the way the transparent eyelids check often works is that it’s after the fact. You first become lucid, then you notice you can see, and then you open your physical eyes and wake your physical body up.

Another scenario is that you open your eyes twice without closing them in between. You open them in the O.B.E and then open them again when you wake up physically.

In either case you may not know if you were nonphysically focused until it’s too late and you’re already physical again. So it’s very useful to have a check that works immediately as soon as you have a nonphysical focus.

Overlaid Sight Reality Check

The third reality check to watch for is overlaid sight which happens as soon as you’re nonphysical. When you’re nearing a nonphysical focus you’ll start to split your awareness between your waking surroundings and the dream version of your bedroom. Often you’ll see your nonphysical surroundings from a slightly different angle than your physical surroundings. This makes it look like you have two sets of sight overlaid on top of each other, like two movie projections.

Overlaid sight doesn’t last very long, usually you’ll see your vision flicker back and forth and then stabilize. It’s also rare to achieve overlaid sight because most of the time when you do O.B.E.s your eyes will be closed. Because of this you need a longer lasting check which brings us to the 4th movement free reality check called the “spoon bending” check.

Spoon Bending Reality Check

This brings us to the 4th movement free reality check which helps fix this. This reality check is the spoon bending check.

To do it, just fall asleep with a spoon in your hand.

When you think you might be in an O.B.E, squeeze the spoon and see if it bends.

As long as you don’t move any other part of your body, you can move your fingers slowly and slightly and not disturb your trance. So even though you are moving a little bit this still counts as a movement-free reality check

Kat Black And Waking Awareness Spoon Bending

Kat Black of fork-you.com seems to be able to soften metal in ways that should be impossible.

For example, bending the bowl of a spoon should require more force than a human can physically generate, but she can apparently do it.

On her site she has a tutorial and videos on how she bends metal, I suggest you go check it out. Even if you can’t bend metal physically like she can, it’s still good to see what it’s like for when you do it in an O.B.E.

What Spoon Bending In An O.B.E. Is Like

Here’s what it will be like when you bend a spoon in an O.B.E. The metal will be extremely easy to bend. It’s about like bending a wire twist tie. When you wake up, the spoon will be back to normal

In this section we mentioned exit blindness and how very often in O.B.E.s when you first enter a nonphysical awareness you’ll find that you can’t see. In the next section we’ll cover the most effective and simple ways for fixing exit blindness so you can make the most of each O.B.E.

If you suffer from snoring you are certainly not alone, millions of people in the world have the same problem the exact cause of which has to be determined before you can discover how to stop snoring for good.

Going to a doctor is always the first step you should take, there is no point in buying solutions to a problem that you have not correctly identified.

Searching Out The Causes Of Your Snoring

Strangely enough tonsilitis can actually be a cause of snoring and if it cannot be cured by drugs then surgery is usually the solution.

If sleep apnea is suspected as the reason, a sleep study may be required. This is called a polysomnogram.

Simple tests can be carried out to see if there is something in your home that could be causing an allergic reaction and affecting your breathing.

Items such as feather pillows, perfumes and cat hairs are common culprits.

Typical over the counter snoring remedies include nasal sprays or strips you place across your nose to keep the passages open.

If you are a mouth breather this can cause snoring. There are also stop snoring solutions for this type of problem. A device called a chin-up strip can be used to keep your mouth closed and teach you to breathe through the nose instead.

There are more reasons for snoring and one includes being a tongue base snorer. This simply means the base of your tongue gets in the way of breathing and causes you to snore.

Mandibular advancement devices can be employed to stop snoring by hoilding your tongue against the lower jaw.

A further reason for snoring is vibration of the soft palate at the back of the mouth. This is caused by air flow through beathing.

The hidden problem : sleep apnea

As stated earlier sleep apnea is dangerous and should be investigated by a health professional immediately.

Sleep apnea causes the sufferer to actually stop breathing, it is obstructive to restful sleep and can be dangerous especially if the person has a demanding physical job.

Sleep apnea in affecting the oxygen levels in your blood, can cause a range of problems with the heart and brain at the top of the list.

It is as well to remember however that sleep apnea does come in varying degrees and the lesser varieties are not so harmful to the body.

Other potential causes of snoring include nasal blockages, sinus problems and being overweight.

Do you and your spouse suffer from your snoring? Don’t feel bad, over 23% of marrieds suffer from this terrible condition. It isn’t just the irritation of keeping someone else awake the whole night or suffering their elbow all night long, but not getting enough sleep can also be life threatening.

If you happen to lose focus when driving your vehicle your life could be jeopardized. Losing focus for just seconds can lead to a life threatening accident. Lack of sleep also affects your physical and emotional well being. This can lead to stroke, heart attack or nervous breakdown.

Neither you nor your partner are to blame. And surely you have attempted some sort of treatment to eliminate the snoring altogether. Hopefully you haven’t done like some who have had expensive, dangerous surgery in an attempt to solve the problem only to be worse off afterward.

Knowing the cause of snoring is necessary before you can expect to cure it. Some type of blockage in your breathing passageways is the cause. Blockage of the airways causes irregular airflow which prevents your breathing from being smooth like normal. When the airflow is restricted it slams the soft tissues around like a screen door in a windstorm. Your throat and mouth act like speakers hooked to a powerful amplifier keeping the whole house awake while you sleep.

The soft palate is the soft part of the back of the roof of the mouth and it can vibrate and really make a horrendous racket. When it is weak, the tip of it can bang down on the back of the tongue much like a bongo drum. Of course, the tongue may also be dropping into the throat at the same time which also blocks airflow.

Curing snoring can be very difficult regardless of the fact that there is only one cause. This is because the blockages vary so widely and to top it all off, many people have more than one type of block causing their snoring.

Here are just few examples of what can cause your snoring:

1) Weak tongue also falls into the throat and blocks it. This is very common if you sleep on your back but can also happen when sleeping on your side.

2) Breathing passages blocked due to pressure from tense jaw muscles. Many dentists try to solve this problem by putting in dental implants. It is far easier to avoid this by loosening and relaxing your jaw muscles.

3) As has already been mentioned, the soft palate is another source of blockage. When weak, it will flap around and make the snoring sound more easily. In most cases, the soft palate is not too big, it is too weak.

4) Additionally the soft palate may be too weak and will lay too close to the tongue. This makes it very easy for it to flap around and make those horrendous snoring sounds.

5) Finally, anything that builds up in your throat will work as a dam for your breathing passages. The most common dams are fat or cigarette tars in the throat or allergy in the sinuses.

So How Can You Get Rid of the Blocks That Cause Your Snoring ?

It appears to be common sense. It is possible to train this part of your body much like you do any other part. Kind of like taking the breathing passages to the gym. With a few simple exercises focused on the area in and around the throat, you can relieve any block you may have. It doesn’t matter what is causing your snoring the beautiful part is that a few simple exercises can solve all your problems.

Prevent the tongue from falling into your throat while you sleep by strengthening it.

Using the jaw exercises to loosen it up removes tension from it. Don’t be surprised at how much easier you breath after a few sessions of the jaw exercises.

There are throat exercises which will open up the throat preventing it from closing while you are sleeping. These exercises also lift and strengthen your soft palate preventing it from flapping.

You must work smart, not hard. You choose how long each day you want to work out. The shortest time should be three minutes. However long you train every day is up to you. If you want long term results immediately, it is best to choose to do a program requiring a ten minute per day commitment.

It varies a lot between people how quickly the exercises work. It is recommended that you be ready to work the program for two months. The program will most likely stop your snoring quicker than that. But if youre ready to give it full blast for two months, youre guaranteed to cure your self. And you should be ready to commit for about two months to permanently cure your snoring. Although most likely you will have quiet nights long before those two months are up.

I hope Ill soon receive your success story. I love nothing more than opening my email in the morning and reading the stories on how my clients healed themselves using my exercises.

Snoring has put a great strain on many relationships. some people have resorted to sleeping separately while others have learned to live with it. There may still be some hidden resentment so I hope you give the exercises a try. Please commit to doing the exercises for a couple of weeks and I promise you, you will have many quiet restful nights in the future.

Is you snoring threatening your life? Well, over 23% of couples suffer from this serious situation. If you aren’t being kept awake by your partners snoring, you are repeatedly being jabbed awake by them trying to stop you from snoring. In fact, not getting enough sleep is truly life threatening

It is life threatening for example when you lose your focus in heavy traffic during the day. In our modern world, losing focus for few seconds is a good way to have an accident. Its also life threatening because your whole emotional and physical balance will suffer. Nervous breakdown, stroke, and heart-attack are only three examples.

You cant blame yourself or your partner. Youve probably tried several things to eliminate the snoring but nothing helped. Ive heard of many who undertook expensive, dangerous surgery, only to find themselves worse off afterward.

Knowing the cause of snoring is necessary before you can expect to cure it. Some type of blockage in your breathing passageways is the cause. Blockage of the airways causes irregular airflow which prevents your breathing from being smooth like normal. When the airflow is restricted it slams the soft tissues around like a screen door in a windstorm. Your throat and mouth act like speakers hooked to a powerful amplifier keeping the whole house awake while you sleep.

When the soft palate (the soft part of the back of the roof of the mouth) begins to vibrate the noise really gets bad. If the soft palate is weak then the tip of it may bang down on the back of the tongue like a bongo drum. The tongue may at the same time be dropping into your throat further blocking airflow.

It can be very complicated to cure snoring despite the fact that it only has one main cause. The reason is that the blocks vary so much. And whats worse most people have more than one type of block causing their snoring.

Here are just few examples of what can cause your snoring:

1) Weak tongue falling into the throat blocking it. If you sleep on your back this is very common and it can also happen when sleeping sideways.

2) Breathing passages blocked due to pressure from tense jaw muscles. Many dentists try to solve this problem by putting in dental implants. It is far easier to avoid this by loosening and relaxing your jaw muscles.

3) I mentioned the soft palate before. If it is weak, then it will flap around more easily and make the snoring sound. Notice that most of the time the soft palate is not too big. Its too weak.

4) The Soft palate may be too weak and not firm enough and will lay too close to the tongue, making it very easy to flap around and make the irritating snoring sounds.

5) Things that build up in the throat can work as a dam in your breathing passages. Some common dams are allergy in the sinuses, or fat or cigarette tars in the throat.

Can you get rid of the blocks that cause you to snore?

It’s just common sense, you can train this part of the body just like you do any other part of your body. You know, weight training for the breathing passages. With a few exercises each focused on a specific area around the throat can remove any block you have, no matter what is causing your snoring. It is simply that no matter what is blocking your air passages, the same few exercises will be effective for you.

Working smart is better than working hard. You determine how many minutes you want to train each day. The least you should do is three minutes but it is entirely up to you. You can start with as little as three minutes but if you want quick, long term results, you should choose a program that requires a commitment of ten minutes a day.

It varies a lot between people how quickly the exercises work. It is recommended that you be ready to work the program for two months. The program will most likely stop your snoring quicker than that. But if youre ready to give it full blast for two months, youre guaranteed to cure your self. And you should be ready to commit for about two months to permanently cure your snoring. Although most likely you will have quiet nights long before those two months are up.

I’m looking forward to receiving your success stories. Nothing is more encouraging than opening email and reading how people healed themselves using the exercise programs.

I assure you, you and your partner will be sleeping like babies before long.
