Snoring occurs when an irregular blockage occurs in the airway causing vibrations which lead to often very unpleasant sounds. The causes of these are one or more of the following; weakness in throat muscles, displaced jaw, obstruction in nasal passages, the gathering of fat around the throat, alcohol or other relaxants causing the muscles of the throat to relax or sleeping on ones back causing the tongue to fall backwards. The basic principle of many treatments of this condition is to clear the blockage from the airways.

Perhaps you’ve heard that not treating your sleep apnea may lead to death. It’s true.

One of the biggest causes of insomnia is food and/or liquid ingestion in the minutes or hours prior to bedtime.

How old, soft, thin or thick are your sheets? Have they been washed lately? Has your pillow seen fluffier days? What about your room, is it too warm or cold? The good news is that there are easy affordable solutions.

It’s only natural for an insomniac to crave an afternoon nap or be too tired to exercise. But beware! Too much or too little of each may upset the ‘fine line’ between getting a good night’s sleep or resuming the endless cycle of insomnia. Though harder said than done, napping should be avoided altogether. However if you ‘must,’ try your best to keep your nap short — under 1 hour for sure. Daily exercise does wonders to relax the body. 30 minutes of exercise, even simple walking, can do wonders to relax the body. But remember to exercise early, at least six hours before bedtime.

Even though it was red, they were wide open and he was staring straight away like a zombie from a horror movie. It scared me.
