snoring
Throughout the entire world a person's habits have thoroughly irritated another's. These habits are may annoy one person more than another, or not annoy another altoget-her. With such a highly varied and intensely personal list of annoying habits available, it appears difficult to choose the worst. However, one habit is so annoying that at times it is life threatening. This irritating and dangerous habit is, snoring.
There are many reasons for my choice. The first is that it is snoring disrupts what is a basic necessity of life: sleep. Trying to sleep while close by a person you normally care for is making noises resembling road construction is difficult to say the least. Pat-iently you wait for the noise to subside so you can try to quickly fall to sleep. If that doesn't work you try gently pushing the human chain saw in order prompt them to be sci-lent. Soon you are tempted to smother the snorer with your pillow for a moment of si-lence, half-caring if they survive the encounter.
Secondly, it is almost impossible to convince a snorer that they, in fact, snore. Nothing short of taped evidence is enough to convince them, and in some cases it's not. It almost appears that snorer's have a genetic trait to deny their snoring. A comparison of their sleeping habit to a forest being clear-cut is always taken too personally. Your heroic suppression of your desire to smother the snorer's sleeping form is never taken with the deserved appreciation. The frustration is enough to grab your pillow and smother the snorer for their stubbornness.
Thirdly, and lastly, it is very difficult to find help when the snorer finally admits that they have a problem. Where does one find a cure for this aliment that annoys you and threatens the snorer with bodily harm. Over the counter remedies don't often alleviate the symptoms and sometimes amplify the snorer with reverb. There are surgical options, but snorers are often reluctant to go under the knife for something not life

    Thank you very much for referring Barry along for investigation of possible obstructive sleep apnoea. I agree that he has a high likelihood of the condition given his history of snoring, witness apnoeas and his waking unrefreshed even when he sleeps well. He has symptoms of lethargy and fatigue, but also some sleepiness in passive situations, but reassuringly not whilst driving. He is also concerned by the quality of his sleep. He will go to bed at about 10.30pm, read for half an hour and fall asleep quickly when he turns the lights off. He will however wake after about three hours and will occasionally will find it difficult to get back to sleep and will sometimes read for up to an hour. When he stops reading, he will return to sleep…

    Snoring, and fast asleep you are abruptly woken up by your annoying and loud alarm. You wipe your crusty yellow eyes, and you are finally awake but you don't want to leave the warm silky sheets. Finally the loud repetitive sound annoys you to no end and you flip the sheets off and open your cold phone. The bright screen makes your eyes squint back into your head. Blindly, you grab random clothes in your drawer and hope they match. The warmth from your bed is leaving your body so you throw your clothes on to try and keep the warm in. Since you don't wake up until the last minute all you have time for is to brush your teeth. The thick minty toothpaste caresses your teeth while you quickly move the bristles back and forth on your teeth. Then you throw your heavy backpack on filled with the homework that isn't finished and jump into your car.…

    Obstructive Sleep Apnea

    Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that is defined by the absence of breathing for at least ten seconds due to obstruction of the airway. This obstruction can be caused by the tongue, soft palate or uvula relaxing and blocking the airway. A person with OSA will have noticeable breathing efforts, such as chest rise, but will not be able to take are into the lungs. This causes the person to startle awake. Often times the person with the sleep disorder is not even aware that they have a problem, they wake only enough to start breathing again, and then fall back asleep. Often times, a person does not figure out they have sleep apnea until a loved one notices the signs. Some of these signs include loud and chronic snoring, gasping awake,…
