Does playing the DIDGERIDOO really cure snoring?

Though funny it may be...YES.  It's not just the didgeridoo, but any wind instrument will strengthen your throat and nasal muscles making it less likely that you'll snore.

Yes Yes Yes.  Get him an appointment with your physician.  At a basic level, there are sprays that will help.  More drastic--surgery.  But, snoring can be strenuous on the heart, so treat it right away!

I taught my daughter to do some breathing exercises and that helped her. Its my conclusion that people who snore are not breathing properly and thus the strange nosies when they are sleeping. They should learn how to take deep breaths with the eyes and mouth closed. Inhaling and exhaling gentle but deeply. It helps.

I suggest you try the British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association's website.  The correct treatment depends on the cause of your snoring and they have simple tests on their site that will help you find what's causing your problem and so help you tailor the treatment accordingly.  They are also very nice people so you can give them a call if the website is not crystal clear.\n\nHope that helps.

First learn to translate better, Snorking is an Afrikaans word, Snoring is the English one.\n\nThen I have found that blowing my nose before going to bed helps, and try and avoid dairy products, and booze like beer

A tranquilizer is a relaxer, consequently it can relax the upper palate, uvula & throat which can increase snoring in some people

Any underlying disorder, such as an ear infection, acoustic neuroma or Ménière's disease, must be treated appropriately.\n\nPeople with chronic tinnitus without an easily treatable cause, are encouraged not to listen for their tinnitus and aim to concentrate on other things.\n\nIf the hearing is impaired, wearing a hearing aid often helps by "masking out" the problem sound with the amplified external signal. In much the same way, special devices (that look like hearing aids) are used as part of tinnitus retraining treatment. These produce particular sounds to mask out the noise of the tinnitus which is accompanied with training to help block out the annoying aspects of tinnitus.\n\nThe psychological attitude that you have towards your tinnitus is crucial and people with a positive attitude to dealing with it tend to find it more manageable.\n\nDepression or anxiety can make tinnitus more of a problem and treatment of these conditions may help bring some relief. A range of other treatments including dietary supplements, electromagnetic stimulation and medicines (including antiepileptics and anti-sickness drugs) have been tried, but their effectiveness has not be proven.\n\nComplementary therapy\nAny therapy that promotes relaxation and a sense of wellbeing may be useful in relieving tinnitus or the distress it causes. Techniques include yoga, the Alexander technique, meditation, hypnosis and acupuncture. The herbal remedy ginkgo biloba is promoted as a cure for tinnitus but good-quality scientific studies have shown it does not work any better than a placebo (dummy treatment).\n\nOKAY??

Not all snoring is caused by obstructive sleep apnea, but that is the most common cause of really loud snoring. It is a serious disorder which can cause heart damage and eventually kill the snorer. Anyone who snores a lot should get a sleep study done, as apnea is easily treated by the use of a CPAP machine, but these have to be individually set for the correct pressure to stop a person's apnea/snoring, so you can't just buy one - you MUST go to a sleep clinic and get a prescription - too little pressure will not stop the snoring/apnea, and too much can cause other serious problems.\n\nSleep apnea is NOT always weight related.

Sorry to hear about your husbands problem. How can you sleep next to him with all the snoring and always waiting for the next stop. I Hope the machine helps on this.  The operation is bound to improve the general situation drastically as he will most likely get rid of the machine. He will also get some good sleep again and with this being fitter during the day. By saying it will not be and "end all" solution, I think the doc means, nothing can be guaranteed and while the collapsing velum is a common cause for the apnea, it could be caused by factors.\nGood luck to both of you!

How to stop your partner from snoring may not be the best question in this case. You may want to consult doctor if he is suffering the Sleep Apnea.\n\nThere is a reason why your partner is snoring. Also, if he is suffering Sleep Apnea, he is likely to have some other health issues such as high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disease, memory problems, weight gain, impotency, and headaches.\n\nOnce he is diagnosed, there are means, such as CPAP machine (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), to help him.\n\nPlease check below link for further information on Sleep Apena. (I'd rather like to have you read more formal explanation than mine so that you can make your own judgement)\n\nhttp://www.sleepapnea.org/info/index.htm...\n\nThis CPAP machine or sometimes BiPAP (Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure) machine is a very small mechanical ventilator designed to help the patient with Sleep Apena.\n\nUnfortunately, public is not aware this serious Sleep Apnea as you find answers from others....

There are lots of old wives tales to stop snoring. Your best option is to buy her some earplugs for Christmas! ;o)

It works, in a limited way.\nActually it has more than 1 point of view.\nPsyhodinamically, it is said that when our conscious mind is resting, sub- & un-conscious mind are still active. And they have the capacity to store memories (long-term memories) so we can bypass our conscious mind by memorizing things (including vocabs) right into the subconscious mind. \nWhen is this window opened, it is while we asleep / through hypnosis.\n\nCognitive-psychology would see it from the brain working style. While we FALL asleep, our brain's waves turns from Alpha (wake / alert pattern) to Delta (sleeping pattern). It goes slowly (or quickly, depends on our mental state / how sleepy we are, etc) through Beta pattern first.\nWell, beta brain waves is known to be the most effective for brain to function. (That's one of the reason why people are suggested to listen to 60 beats instrumental music while studying, because it helps stimulate brain waves into this condition)\nWhen we are in this state, the brain will absorb the information exposed.\n\nOff course there are 2 obvious drawbacks.\n1. the phase / length of time when brain will 'learn' is raher limited. So it is not wise to depend on this method to learn new languages. It is most effective (I think) to use this method only to get used to the language itself and the pronounciation.\n2. brain can only takes vocabs / sound / pronounciation, and not grammar, since grammar / other language rules need thinking / understanding, and so need the conscious mind to be active.\n\nI am indonesian, and I speak mandarin, fujian, and french (apart from english), so I had had first hand experiences about these stuffs.\n\nThese methods help, but not in themselves sufficient to learn a language. Good luck!

Yes, it was not done by a magician and it is not what people tend to picture it to be. Some moron does not sit there and wave something in front of your face and tell you that you are getting very sleepy either :D\n\nI was in a nice room and I was asked to lay down and make myself comfortable. I was told to focus on something that was relaxing to me, there were pictures of nature, and there were flowers and nice things like that. WHile I was focusing I was told to breathe in and out slowly and deeply until every limb of my body was relaxed. then I was told to close my eyes and visualize myself to be wherever it is  I wanted to be. I was hypnotized to relieve mental stress. :)\nYou are basically so relaxed and you are filtering the bullcrap out of your mind so that you can tap into your subconcious. It is the coolest thing . The professional slowly talks you back to "reality" and you come out of feeling so calm and relaxed, it is awesome.  You would be amazed out how you can find the solutions to your problems. \n\nEveryone has their opinions of what it is like or how it feels, but I thought it was great.

Yes. deep sleep ! LOL

yes. for long-term insomnia. it worked.\n\nwhen i was being treated I didn't think it was working, i felt awake, aware and in control - but then after sessions, i noticed that i was sleeping better and better as time went on.\n\nwhat REALLY helped was that she recorded a session with me and gave the tape to me so I could listen to it whenever I needed to.  \n\nI would definitely give it a go for whatever you are looking into it for.\n\nI know people who have tried it to give up smoking and it's worked for them.  To cure long-term insomnia AND smoking, I think it's gotta be able to help LOTS of other stuff too.
