Sleep Apnea Revelation and other Diversions

Filed under: — Mark @ 9:04 pm

;)Needless to say Mondays are really hectic! I admire people that can squeeze in a whole day without complaining that there aren’t enough hours in the day to cover everything! But I digress.
I saw an ad on a website about a device which prevents snoring and even cures it over time. It was an interesting website and has a lot of convoluted information which I weeded through. They are selling the SnoreStopper for a tad under 60 bucks (which I cannot, nor wish to, afford) So I decided to look into the product and see what it actually does. It is simply a wide band of elastic with holes in it for your ears and this band of elastic goes over your head and chin and supports it much like suspenders. According to this site, most snoring (90%) is caused by minute sleep apnea and this device will put a stop to that over time. My bengali mind got to thinking and I came up with a temporary solution of my own. Here is a question to you, my reader. What item in your home comes with a wide band of elastic and has holes big enough to shove your head through? Yes! I thought so too! I told Jennifer that I will be blogging this, so I am. I grabbed my cleanest pair of underwear and put them around my head!! They worked like a charm! I did run into some problems getting to sleep though. I kept feeling like I could not breathe or was going to get stuck or something (which could be indications of my own sleep problems) but I decided to keep trying to use it for a few nights and see what happens. So if any of you are suffering from long sleepless nights because of a loved/hated one snoring or are in need of all the therapies that the ad website touts, save yourself the big bucks and shove your head through a large pair of knickers!!:lol:
