Do you find yourself awake every night? Is your own snoring, or the snoring of someone who sleeps next to you preventing you from getting good rest? If so, then the information here will be a godsend to you. Lots of great tips and suggestions on how you can sleep better. If you enjoy that bowl of ice cream for dessert but you want to stop your snoring habits, its time to stop eating ice cream before bed. Ice cream and other dairy products can promote snoring due to the fact that they create more mucus. Make sure to avoid any dairy before bed. It is important to lose weight if you want to snore less at night. The more you weigh, the more pressure there is on your airway. If there is a lot of pressure on the airway, it will cause it to collapse slightly which will then lead to the loud, booming snoring that annoys and irritates everyone who can hear it while they are trying to sleep. Since snoring can be caused by lax muscles in the neck and jaw, try exercising these muscles in order to reduce snoring. Pull the jaw forward and back 10 times, then open and close your mouth, stretching the jaw muscles. You can also place something firm, yet soft, between the teeth and bite down for a few minutes. After strengthening these muscles for awhile, you may notice a difference. Some believe that snoring is a sub-conscious problem that people suffer from while sleeping and so devices have been developed that will help your mind learn to stop snoring on its own. There are wristbands now available that vibrate any time you snore causing the person to change position while they are sleeping which usually makes the snoring stop as well. These devices are good in that they train the brain and body to stop snoring so it tends to be a more permanent solution. If you have a problem with snoring, sinus infections may be a cause for you to look into. Sinus infection can block airways, making it hard to breathe. This can cause the passages to create a vacuum which can lead to snoring. Nasal infection can cause snoring in the same way. Do not drink any dairy products before you go to bed. Dairy products can cause mucous build-up in your throat. If you fall asleep with mucus in your throat, it will cause the snoring to be louder when you breath in and out. If you get thirsty, drink water instead, which will flush away the mucus. Talk to your dentist about being custom fitted for a mouthpiece keeps your jaws in a forward position. This keeps your airway open and keeps you from snoring. These mouthpieces allow the snorer peace even when they are suffering from nasal congestion because they can continue to breathe through their mouth. If you lose weight, you may find that you will stop snoring. This is because people who are overweight may have an accumulation of fat in the throat area that causes a narrowing of the air passageways. This, in turn, can lead to snoring. Losing weight can allow the airways to open up normally, so that snoring is minimized or eliminated. Many people can find relief from snoring by doing something as simple as singing on a daily basis. Singing encourages the development and strengthening of the throat muscles and your soft palate. Lax muscles are a major cause of snoring, so strengthening these areas will help you prevent snoring, improve your breathing and allow you to get a good night’s sleep. You don’t need any professional to tell you that sleep is very essential to our daily functionality. Sleep determines how we feel, react and cope with life. Sleep Apnea snoring may involve a bit more, however, using the tips from this article should give you at the very least, a starting point for finding a solution to your snoring problem. Two Homeless guys are changing lives and Helping people that need extra money find out how: CLICK HERE NOW! We are bombarded with hype about voting fraud that's being created via Youtube, facebook and Twitter claiming 'trick' voting procedures etc, etc... Personally, I feel we sometimes read a little bit too deeply into this process. Voter Fraud DOES exist, however with the social media so readily available in today's world it also gives folks a way to get lots of unconfirmed info and allegations out to millions of people in just a matter of a few seconds. Unfortunately we most times grab this unconfirmed info and run with it as if its gospel! If we were to be suspect of the voting procedure as a whole, we should really focus on the rarely discussed process of "The Electoral College" The Electoral College is what actually puts a president in office! Where are the theories about Electoral college fraud and the like? Please lets just do our part and fulfill the rights that were given to us with the blood of our grandparents At the end of the day only one thing really matters... Did you go vote? Thoughts or comments? "President Barack Obama said in an interview broadcast on Wednesday that he was "just too polite" in his first debate with Mitt Romney—a new explanation for the incumbent's widely panned performance in that prime-time political bout." This is how the article on yahoo.com starts out. Also during a Tom Joyner Interview, Tom asked about the debate, "What happened" and The president responded, "I think it's fair to say I was just too polite." and speaking on the upcoming debates on 10/16 and 10/22 he added, "We're going to take it to him." Mr President, Sir..With all due respect..Please stop talking so much. You can be sure that Romney is reading your every words and MAY use them against you and even worse you are telling him your game plan for the debate. Mr Obama is spending way too much time trying to 'Win The Debate", when in actuality, He should focus on and stick with, #1. Being himself, #2. Stick with the issues of the people and #3. Stop admiting to ANY implied defeat or rhetoric about winning and losing the debate...Lets focus on the BIG picture and talk about the issue that will WIN THE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL RACE !! SOAR OPINION: Mr Romney has provided enough rope to hang himself with his secret slurs and outrageous statements. President Obama must stop responding to EVERY criticism and let it go. Instead of openly talking about being tougher in the next debate, it should simply be implied that you are ready for the upcoming debates and will be prepared!! Talking about being tough is no comparison to just showing up, kicking butt and moving on quietly. Please, Mr President....Stop living this campaign as a First responder and run it as the leader that you are! Stand on your record, stand on 'being you". Be yourself, not the image folk wanna see As you have said, Romney wants the office that you ALREADY possess! comments anyone?? 27 Year old Sarah Jones was accused of having sex with a Student while she was a teacher at a Northern Kentucky School. ABC news reports: "Judge Patricia Summe granted prosecutors' recommendation to sentence Jones to five years of diversion but no jail time, and she won't have to register as a sex offender." if this had been a Male having sex with a female do you think the outcome would be the same as we see here - NO JAIL TIME, DOES NOT HAVE TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER"? Do you think the justice system is blind when it comes to these sex cases involving minors when the accused is a female? SOAR QUESTION: The accused pleads guilty, THEN avoids jail time AND does NOT have to register as a sex offender... Is this fair? Comments?? The BIG debate...Fits of all lets review a few comments from the CNN blog in reference to the debate: 1. RoscoeC writes: Romney seizes the story? What nonsense. Is this all it takes to "win" a debate? Don't let your opponent get a word in. Tell lies, and when your opponent challenges your lie, tell another one? Romney acted like a thug on steroids. This wasn't a debate. It was a one-sided yelling match from an irrational, lying lout. 2. JoeDProactiv writes: Romney definitely "won" the 1st debate. Especially on "tone." His duplication of his GOP debate performance strategy [disrespecting the rules/ interrupting his adversaries and impinging on their time/running roughshod over the moderator] shouldn't be tolerated- it detracts from clear communication & is pretty obviously planned. His pushing around of Lehrer is a confirmation that Lehrer is past it [for debate moderation].. and, in a strange way, can be seen as a cypher for Romney/Ryan's lack of respect for seniors in general. After all- he can follow any path/policy he wants & what can they do to him. 3. Dejavu65 writes: Thats funny I always said Romney is a slick fast talking car salesman no wonder he wants to buy a Chinese factory and continue to outsource jobs!...Glad I work in the medical field! 4. angrymobvoter writes: The die hard Obama supporters are crying because Romney beat Obama at his own game. Obama has been the worst President in at least a generation. Obama cannot use statistics because the statistics prove conclusively how Obama has failed the American people. Unemployment remains high, gas prices have more than doubled, the national debt is at unsustainable levels, and Obama is just offering more of his divisive policies that have failed. Yes we all saw the gun down in Denver or WAS it a gundown? The Major polls crown Romney "King" of the debate but at what costs? Do we win debates by speaking over your moderator? By refusing to acknowledge the time or subject? Is feisty behavior what America wants or do we want mature debates centered on issues as presented? People are saying "President Obama gotta fire back, get tough", etc etc etc..But WHY? Does the office of President rely on these type of theatrics? Are we supposed to choose a candidate based on how many times you can butt in or effectively disregard the moderator? I would feel better if Obama just was himself! He could have returned with some of the flip flop issues, the 47% statement etc.....But he choose not too. So am I to understand that Obama HAD to change HIS debate style to win the debate and election? Who decides what pace a debate is set? The aggressor? Who really won the debate? I would say that the person who can handle him self under pressure and still conform to the rules and procedures of the debate. The person who was able to maintain the proper demeanor and respect for the moderator should get a lot of points in MY boo Do we believe Romney when He is behind closed doors and says that He says He's NOT concerned about 47% Or do we believe Romney when he's animated and on LIVE TV saying he's concerned about EVERYBODY? SOAR OPINION: Stop putting down your president because HE chose the higher road. Leave the theatrics in the movie theaters and leave presidential debates in controlled, moderated environments. After all, Aren't we told in grade school to respect authority? If the President of the United States choose to respect the authority of the moderator...Why do we rebuke him for it? Lets step back take a step back take a deep breath and come to our senses. Don't get it twisted, This was an ALI vs Frazier fight...It was a debate to help us decide our votes for the next President of the United States ..... Any comments? The video below is TOO funny but true... President Obama really does NOT have to go after each and every mistake Romney makes. Dont get me wrong, Its kinda dishearting how President Obama quickly attacks every wrong word out of Romney's mouth. SOAR OPINION: Stop Commenting President Obama. Romney's doing a great job of losing votes. Please watch the FUNNY way that SNL expresses that very same view point!!!...The enite clip is embedded below..Please click on the play button below 7 weeks out from the election and Mitt Romney makes the statement that best represents how He really feels. THEN STANDS BEHIND IT!!!!!! (See Here) In case you have been under a rock the past day or so, check out what Mitt Romney said on hidden tape. Taped with a hidden camera at a private fund-raising event this past May, the video shows Romney telling his donors that nearly half of Americans back President Barack Obama because they rely on government support. Here's the exact quote: (Quote)"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. ... My job is is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." (End Quote) Of course a Tea party spokesman (Jenny Beth Martin, national coordinator for Tea Party Patriots) has rushed to his defense saying , essentially, what Romney said. So let me get this straight...Mitt Romney IS NOT concerned with almost HALF the country but wants YOUR vote? Not only is that outrageous...but its even MORE outrageous to openly say (in so many words)..Yeah, I said it!! Now what? I doubt it seriously if Mitt Romney would have said this statement at the Republican National Convention or on any Nationally televised event. And Yet there is all this foolish talk of "Black Clergy" "telling" their "flocks" NOT to vote?? (see SOAR blog 9/16 post) I feel its again time to stand up for what we feel is right and to ban together to continue moving forward. SOAR Opinion: GO VOTE!! Comments? |
