Snoring is often the butt of humor and jokes… but as with many sleep problems, it’s often hard for non-sufferers to understand the sheer misery of those afflicted. Severe snoring can have serious consequences, leading to disrupted sleep and poor rest, as well as reduced blood/brain oxygen throughout the night. This contributes to tiredness, poor performance, and statistically higher accident rates the following day. And that’s before considering the social impact, on everything from intimate relationships to overnight stays and holidays.
Snoring often develops or worsens later in life, and can be exacerbated by carrying excess body weight and by drinking alcohol, as well as in the short term by sinus or adenoid infections. The cause of snoring is a constriction of the airway in the back of the throat, and this can have a number of contributing factors. As the air passes through the constricted area, it sets up a vibration of the soft tissue… and that’s the noise you hear.
Christian Goodman lived with a worsening snoring problem for many years, before developing a solution that works – he did this in association with his partner, who was a trained singer and voice coach. Together they developed a specific set of exercise designed to open up the airways at crucial points of constriction, and make taut the muscles that often sag in the jaw and throat which can collapse and vibrate in sleep. The program also strengthens the tongue, which can fall back into the throat during sleep, causing the familiar sleep apnea sensation of spluttering loudly awake feeling choked.
The program includes audio files, because some of the exercises need you make a specific sound using the mouth and jaw, and you need the reference sound to know whether you are doing it right! You might look and feel a little stupid doing these 3 minute daily sets of exercises, but they are actually very quick, and also easy to learn and master – so you won’t need to work with the audio or even the visual material very frequently. Typically results are obtained within 2 to 4 weeks, and the solution is guaranteed and permanent.
For a non-snorer the benefits are hard to imagine, of being fully rested overnight and waking beside the person you love – not fearing overnight invitations, planning risky surgery or sleeping with a strange device in your mouth…
