Do You Know The Exercises To Stop Snoring?

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

Losing your focus in heavy traffic during the day can be life threatening. If you are distracted for only a few seconds, you could easily wind up in a terrific accident. Another way loss of sleep can affect you is when your emotional and physical well being are out of balance. The result could be heart attack, nervous breakdown or stroke for example.

Don't go blaming your partner or yourself. I'm sure you've tried many things to reduce the snoring but nothing was totally effective. Many people have had dangerous, expensive surgery with no positive result. Some were even worse off after the surgery.

In order to cure snoring you must be aware of what causes it. It is always caused by some sort of blockage in the air passageways. When these passageways become blocked, the airflow becomes irregular and doesn't flow like it should. The restricted airflow then slams the soft tissue in the passageways around like a door in the wind. Your mouth and throat amplify the sound like speakers powered by a powerful amplifier and your partner can't 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 is complicated even though there is only one main cause. The reason is because most people have more than one type of blockage causing their snoring.

Some examples of what can cause 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) Tense jaw muscles put pressure on the breathing passages. This is what many dentist try to deal with by putting in dental implants. An easier way to avoid this is loosening up and relaxing the 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) 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) Anything that builds up in your throat works as a dam to your airway. Most common are cigarette tars or fat in the throat or sinus congestion due to allergies

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

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.

Training the tongue will strengthen it and by doing that prevent it from dropping into your throat when you sleep.

Jaw exercises to remove tension from the jaw muscles will loosen the jaw. It will surprise you how much more easily you will breath once you do the jaw exercises for a few sessions.

To prevent the throat from closing when you are asleep you can do throat exercises which also strengthen and lift the soft palate keeping it from flapping any more.

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.

Different people get different results in different time periods. It is suggested that you prepare to train for two months. Your snoring will like stop long before the end of two months but If you determine to go full speed ahead for two months then you can be assured you will be cured by the end of the program. It may take the full two months to work a permanent cure for snoring even though it is very likely that you will be sleeping quietly all night long long before the two month program is completed.

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.
