KICK YOUR SNORING HABIT FOR GOOD!


Kick your snoring habit or sleep apnea for good


(ARA) - Do you wake up fatigued because your snoring doesn't allow for a deep, good night's rest? Does your spouse complain that you keep her up all night? If so, it's time to take action before more serious health issues occur.


More than an annoyance


Although snoring is considered somewhat common, it could be an indication of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a health condition in which breathing stops and starts throughout the night repeatedly.


According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an interruption of regular breathing or obstruction of the airway during sleep can pose serious complications for the health of the individual; symptoms of sleep apnea should be taken seriously.


Fix the problem before it worsens


The lack of sleep caused by snoring has been linked to a number of health problems including obesity, depression, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and more according to the CDC. So how can you fix your snoring problem?


Surgery is costly and can be dangerous, and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices, which force air through your airway, can be extremely uncomfortable. Oral appliances are an easier option, but can be costly when purchased through a dentist.


The cause of snoring


When you sleep, the muscles in the back of your mouth, tongue, and throat relax. If they relax too much, your jaw and tongue collapse and block your airway thus restricting the flow of oxygen to your lungs, heart and brain. As you breathe the muscles and uvula vibrate and knock against the back of your throat. This causes the sounds you hear during snoring.


To resume breathing, the person must awaken (although one rarely remembers the awakening) and create tension in the tongue and throat tissue. This process opens the airway and causes a distinctive snorting sound. Within a short period of time this process often repeats itself. A person may wake up several hundred times during an 8-hour sleep time. Consequently, this can cause chronic fatigue and other major health problems.


An affordable snoring solution


Skip the dentist's office and get the same quality oral device at a much lower cost in the comfort of your own home. To eliminate or reduce sleep apnea and snoring, Cure My Snore constructs a snoring oral appliance the same way dentists do for 1/3 the cost. You wear this oral appliance while sleeping. The oral appliance repositions your lower jaw forward and does not allow your jaw to collapse and block your air passage way while you are sleeping. By maintaining the air passage way clear while you are sleeping, Cure My Snore oral appliance eliminates or reduces your sleep apnea and snoring.


Cure My Snore can:


-Eliminate or reduce snoring
-Eliminate or reduce sleep apnea
-Eliminate or reduce depression
-Eliminate or reduce daytime fatigue


Extensive Research


More than 127 clinical studies performed by more than 100 universities and hospitals, including Harvard and Yale, have shown that oral appliances eliminate or reduce sleep apnea and snoring.


You would pay your dentist $700 for a comparable device. The Cure My Snore kit is available for 2 payments of $69.95 and includes:


-Impression kit
-Lab work
-Custom snoring oral appliance

Are You Ready for an Earthquake?

We went on line and pulled some information on being prepared for an Earthquake. Attached there is some very useful information from The American Red Cross.

Here's what You can do to prepare for such an emergency:

-Prepare a Disaster Supplies Kit for home and car, including first aid kit and essential medications.
-Canned food and can opener.
-At least three gallons of water per person.
-Protective clothing, rainwear and bedding or sleeping bags.
-Battery-powered radio, flashlight and extra batteries.
-Special items for infant, elderly or disabled family members.
-Written instructions for how to turn off gas, electricity, and water if authorities advise you to do so. (Remember, you’ll need a professional to turn natural gas service back on.)
-Keeping essentials, such as a flashlight and sturdy shoes by your bedside.
-Know what to do when the shaking begins. DROP, COVER, AND HOLD ON!
-Move only a few steps to a nearby safe place. Stay indoors until the shaking stops and you’re sure it’s safe to exit. Stay away from windows. In a high-rise building expect the fire alarms and sprinklers to go off during a quake.
-If you are in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting your head with a pillow.
-If you are outdoors, find a clear spot away from buildings, trees and power lines. Drop to the ground.
-If you are in a car, slow down and drive to a clear place (as described above). Stay in the car until the shaking stops.
-Identify what to do after the shaking stops.
-Check yourself for injuries. Protect yourself from further danger by putting on long pants, a longsleeved shirt, sturdy shoes, and work gloves.
-Check others for injuries. Give first aid for serious injuries.
-Look for and extinguish small fires. Eliminate fire hazards. Turn off the gas if you smell gas or think it’s leaking. (Remember, only a professional should turn it back on.)
-Listen to the radio for instructions.
-Expect aftershocks. Each time you feel one, DROP, COVER AND HOLD ON!
-Inspect your home for damage.
-Get everyone out if your home is unsafe.
-Use the telephone only to report life-threatening emergencies.

Earthquakes can happen in most states . . . anytime . . . without warning. Reducing hazards and knowing what to do can make a big difference in how an earthquake affects your household. Adults and children in the household should talk about what you will do when an earthquake happens. This checklist will get you started in planning. Have various members of the household complete each of the items on the checklist below. Then get together to finalize your Home
Earthquake Plan.

Pick one or more “safe places” in each room of your home. Practice DROP, COVER AND HOLD ON! in each place.
Write the locations of safe places in each room of your home—
Bedroom: _____________________________________________________________________________________
Bedroom: _____________________________________________________________________________________
Living room: __________________________________________________________________________________
Kitchen: ______________________________________________________________________________________
Other rooms: __________________________________________________________________________________
____ Choose an out-of-town relative or friend to be a family contact person.
Family contact: ________________________________________________________________________________
Phone number: ________________________________________________________________________________
____ Put together disaster supplies kits.
Location of home kit: __________________________________________________________________________
Date assembled: _______________________________________________________________________________
Shoes and flashlight put next to everyone’s bed: ____________________________________________________
(date)
Smaller kit put in car: __________________________________________________________________________
(date)
____ Teach household members how to turn off utilities.
Location of gas and water valves and electrical switches and turnoff tools: ______________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
____ Install strong latches or bolts on cabinets.
____ Secure water heater to wall studs with two steel straps.
____ Bolt bookcases, china cabinet, and tall furniture to wall studs.
____ Secure items that might fall (TV, books, computers, etc.).
And remember . . . when an earthquake, tornado, flood, fire, or other emergency happens in your community, you can count on your local American Red Cross chapter to be there to help you and your family. Your Red Cross is not a government agency and depends on contributions of your time, money, and blood.

For more information, please contact your local American Red Cross chapter or emergency management office.
