The Snoring Chinstrap
The Snoring chinstrap is so often reminiscent of dressing for a game of Rugby and although I’ve not done that for a while I remember it well. I was a Front Row Forward in those days – being amply built – and there were some giant guys around me. We wore them of course for [...]
The Sound of Snoring
I’m sorry to say that the answer is no…it’s not a new West End Musical. It’s that age-old problem of excessively loud snoring and the knock-on effects. What do you do if you find yourself sharing a bed or even just a room with someone who snores? Or are you the one with the problem? [...]
The Bedroom Wars
Not a book review I’m afraid but I think it would make a great title for a Hollywood Rom-Com. And what a story it would be. Maybe you’re in the trenches for this one because it certainly seems to be a bigger, and sometimes more amusing, and widespread scenario than we realize. Would our blockbuster [...]
Earplugs for relief from Snoring
‘Relief from snoring by using earplugs’ is an advertising headline that I see regularly on various shopping sites around the internet and the statement always triggers a number questions for me: First, which of the two persons sharing the bedroom gets the relief? Second, is this an interim measure or a last resort? Third, will [...]
Stop Snoring – Naturally
A friend asked me the other day how to stop snoring “naturally” without any help from mouthguards or other items that a GP or Dentist might recommend them to use.

In fact, it has been ascertained by doctors that snoring can also lead to daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, high blood pressure, and many more life altering, and occasionally threatening issues.

Snoring Treatments – the choices
Ahead of National Stop Snoring Week – which begins on 23 April 2012 perhaps it’s probably time to dispel some of the myths surrounding snoring and look at how to get to the bottom of a real problem which affects around 40% of the UK population at one time or another. Firstly you should try [...]
We live in a ‘Can’t Sleep Society’ – but there are solutions out there.
Why are so many people having trouble getting a good night’s sleep? Well perhaps you only have to count up the number of ways that contribute to this huge, ever-growing problem: We are over-caffeinated (coffee, soft drinks, energy drinks, and snacks) and we are over-medicated (prescription and over-the-counter drugs, including all alcohol), and this is [...]
How to prevent snoring
Whilst reading a few articles and comments on the internet the other day I started to notice that there are so many different ways recommended to prevent snoring that the average sufferer, and that’s about 40% of us, must be pretty confused. One or two of the recommendations, such as not eating dairy products before [...]
