Help A Partner Lose His Snoring Habits

It may not be too obvious, but you could be snoring while you
are sleeping. Snoring is one of the most annoying sound any
person could hear during the night and it could be a life-long
problem if this person is your partner.

If you have been a victim long enough to the nightly snoring
sounds, you could do necessary steps to make sure that your
partner doesn't snore any longer, or at least make sure that he
minimize snoring every time he sleeps. Giving an effort for your
partner's best welfare is going to give you and your partner
more than the relief you could get. But most importantly, a good
night sleep is the sweetest reward of all.

How do you start your quest in helping a loved one lose his
snoring habits?

First, check on his weight. If you think that his weight
doesn't have anything to do with his snoring problems, you are
wrong. An overweight person has excess fats in his body and the
concerned areas here are the fats located in his neck area. The
throat is an air passage for the person to breathe and if there
are obstructions to where air passes through, a sound vibration
will occur and this is going to be the sound that you hear
whenever he is asleep.

Inform your partner to start losing his weight first. Physical
exercises are the best form of remedy. It doesn't only help with
the snoring problem but other health illness will also be taken
care of.

Next to this is your partner's diet. Any food that your partner
eats when awake may have contributed to the snoring state he is
in now while he sleeps. Start to monitor what your partner eats
every meal. Keep dairy products at a low volume because
ingredients from dairy products interfere with the breathing
pattern of a person when lying asleep which, causes the snoring
sound you hear. Also, make sure that your partner doesn't take
in anything that has too much sedatives like alcohol. These
ingredients causes a person's organs to become extremely relaxed
during sleep and is also one of the reasons why snoring happens.

Be mindful of these simple but important steps to having a
partner great to cuddle with every night minus the snoring
noise.

What Is Insomnia?

Insomnia is an inability to get to sleep and/or stay asleep
during the night hours, and it's sometimes mistakenly called a
sleeping disorder when in fact, it's a symptom of a sleeping
disorder. Women and older adults are the typical victims of
insomnia although millions of people across the country suffer
from it for various reasons. As a result, each case is different
and there are thus different kinds of insomnia brought on by
individual sleep disorders, stresses, illnesses, or
environmental problems. Insomnia can be long-term, short-term,
minor or severe, occasional or constant. Yet more than 1/3 of
the American population is affected by some sort of insomnia and
10% suffer from a chronic form.

What qualifies short term insomnia as a temporary problem is
that it lasts for a few days rather than weeks as in chronic
insomnia. But neither form of insomnia is less important than
the other - even if it only lasts for a day or two. The problem
is always the same: not enough sleep.

Types OF INSOMNIA

Alcohol-Dependent Insomnia - a sleeping disorder induced by the
over-consumption of alcohol.

Altitude Insomnia - an inability to sleep because of problems
experienced in high altitudes. Examples include fatigue,
headache, loss of appetite, etc.

Childhood Insomnia (Limit-Setting Sleep Disorder) - a problem
with falling asleep in accordance with discipline problems

Environmental Insomnia - the difficulty to sleep based on
environmental factors (noise, smells, air flow, etc.)

Food Allergy Insomnia - the result of an allergic reaction

Idiopathic Insomnia - a physiological problem that prevents
full sleep; usually a lifelong problem.

Periodic Insomnia - an inability to sleep that occurs in 1-2
hour intervals

Psychophysiological Insomnia - a sleeping disorder that's
brought on by stress or other psychological problems.

Sleep Onset Insomnia (Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome) - a problem
that delays the occurrence of the major phase of sleep.

Toxin-Induced Sleep Disorder - a sleeping problem brought on by
poising

Transient Insomnia (Adjustment Sleep Disorder) - a temporary
problem initiated by stress and emotional troubles

THE IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP

Sleep is often taken for granted by those who get enough of it.
But it's also one of the most important contributors to body
health, function, and sound mind. People need to sleep because
it gives the body the opportunity to repair itself without
having to be bothered with the stresses of performing daily
activities. Eight hours of sleep is sufficient for the adult,
but any less than that puts the body into stress - stress that
over a short period of time can weaken the immunity system and
thus bring about more serious health problems.

One major problem with insomnia is that many people suffer from
it, yet do not know or acknowledge that they have it. The pace
at which today's society runs is faster and more stressful than
ever and can cause a multitude of health problems. Yet insomnia
- a tell-tale sign that something is wrong - is one the last
things that people suspect or care to admit.
