Stop the snore

I am always amused by the never ending argument between the snoring people and their beloved ones whom are forced to listen to the orchestra every night. Well, at least I was until I have found out that the joke is on me.

One morning I was blamed for snoring, my first reply was: I never snore, you must be wrong. Soon I was proven wrong, heard myself recorded on tape, and it was unbearable. Believe me, my wife was very close to divorce me for that. Since I love her very much I had to find a cure for snoring real fast, and so I did.

Before I could find a solution I had to figure out why I was snoring in the first place. I have found that I am not alone. About 44% of men and 28% of women age 30 to 60 suffer from this phenomenon.

Snoring usually takes place when the upper parts of our breathing path, at the palate, weaken. As a result when we breathe the air passing through these parts causes sides vibration, these vibrations are snoring. In drastic situations it could lead to breathing-pauses which degrade our blood oxygen level. This might lead to increased blood pressure, heart bit pace disorder and even a stroke.

That information alone has convinced me that this is truly my problem and not my wife’s, and the sooner I find a solution the better. I have found a few nice ways each comes from a different perception.

The first things I have found were conventional: from a dental device which moves the jaw forward to open the airway through laser surgery and finally some throat spray. I did not like these solutions so I kept looking and found some unusual tactics, one is really worth mentioning: a signing instructor has developed series of exercises, same as professional singers do, to strength the weaken parts of our throat. This seams very nice and healthy but I hate signing so I had to find something that suited me.

Finally I have found a cure that ended my, and especially my wife’s, misery. It was perfectly for me, I could do it every day and it did solve my snoring problem. I have found that aerobic activity for at least 30 minutes a day completed cured me. It could be basketball, walking, football, just pick your most enjoyable plan and stick to it. Today I enjoy a very good night sleep and my wife loves me twice as much.
