I Love Snoring! Don’t You?

Sleeping Problems

For a long time now. I have been the reason, my wife has not had many peaceful nights of sleep. It started a very long time ago when I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is when you have trouble breathing while you sleep. To a point where you stop breathing completely and your body has to react to get you started again. Luckily I only had a mild case of it and It has passed. But I am still left with the snoring and the wife totally loves me for it.

It’s so great I even wake myself up from it sometimes.

Depending on how tired I am. Determines the strength and loudness of the snoring. I know when I have had a bad night or day of it. When I wake up, my throat is dry and sore. I have tried to sleep on my side but nothing really works. So, I thought I could use this platform to educate myself and hopefully help a few others that may benefit from it.

From what I have seen. I think I will have to speak to my dentist about this and see what I can get that way. Instead of buying home products. I will write an update when this happens.
