Most people are unaware that snoring is not only a nuisance, it is a silent, deadly killer. Snoring is caused by the vibration of the muscles and tissues in the throat as air passes by during sleep. Science has now discovered that snoring is a sign that something bigger is amiss that cannot be ignored. Snoring affects over 40 million Americans today. It is a problem that is getting worse with time. Snoring is a sign of a worsening problem, Obstructive Sleep Apnea or OSA. Sadly, those who snore are not the ones who are even aware of it.
Some people are afraid to tell their partner or spouse that they snore and endure the condition, or in some cases sleep away from the snorer.

He would continue to struggle to release the air until his brain finally recognized that he was going without oxygen and would wake him up to regain his breath. This would happen over and over. This didn’t allow him to enter the valuable, enriching part of our sleep that heals and sustains our bodies.
When I told him about it, he went through a long period of denial until it finally became too much to bear in his waking life. He was struggling to survive. Ultimately he was evaluated in a sleep center and prescribed a CPAP machine, although he ended up instead using a different anti snoring device after reading snoring mouthpiece reviews like this one on the Good Morning Snore Solution. It was a miserable existence, until he finally found the Good Morning Snore Solution. Don’t let this be you. Continue reading →
