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.

Neither you nor your partner are to blame. And surely you have attempted some sort of treatment to eliminate the snoring altogether. Hopefully you haven’t done like some who have had expensive, dangerous surgery in an attempt to solve the problem only to be worse off afterward.

Knowing the cause of snoring is necessary before you can expect to cure it. Some type of blockage in your breathing passageways is the cause. Blockage of the airways causes irregular airflow which prevents your breathing from being smooth like normal. When the airflow is restricted it slams the soft tissues around like a screen door in a windstorm. Your throat and mouth act like speakers hooked to a powerful amplifier keeping the whole house awake while you 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.

It can be very complicated to cure snoring despite the fact that it only has one main cause. The reason is that the blocks vary so much. And whats worse most people have more than one type of block causing their snoring.

Your snoring can be caused by some or more of the following:

1) Tongue is weak and falls into the throat blocking it. Very common to those who sleep on their back but may also happen if you sleep 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) I’ve already mentioned the soft palate earlier. A weak soft palate can flap and vibrate more easily to make the snoring sounds. Most of the time it is not that the soft palate is too big, it is that 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) Finally, anything that builds up in your throat will work as a dam for your breathing passages. The most common dams are fat or cigarette tars in the throat or allergy in the sinuses.

Can you get rid of the blocks that cause you to snore?

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.

Loosening up the jaw, using the jaw exercises will remove any tension from it. Youll be surprised how much easier youll breath after you do the jaw exercises.

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.

Its about working smart not hard. You make the choice how many minutes a day you want to train. The minimal time is only three minutes. How long you exercise every day is up to you. You can train for as little as three minutes a day. For quick permanent results, I recommend taking the program that requires ten minutes a day commitment.

The exercises work more quickly for some than for others but if you go in prepared to do the training and exercises for a full two months, you will in all likely hood stop snoring sooner than that. If you are ready to really work hard for two full months you are guaranteed a cure for your snoring. You should be prepared to commit to a two month program to effect a permanent cure. There is a good possibility you will be sleeping like a baby long before the two months are up. As will your partner!!!

I’m looking forward to receiving your success stories. Nothing is more encouraging than opening email and reading how people healed themselves using the exercise programs.

Since snoring is putting such a strain on peoples relationships, many are forced to sleep apart. Some have learned how to live with it but there may be underlying resentment. I suggest you try my program and give me the benefit of the doubt by making a serious commitment to throat training for a few weeks. I assure you, you and your partner will be sleeping like babies before long.
