Okay well my family takes small like 1 sec. breaths every time they breath but when i breath i take like 3sec. breath that are deep and long. Its slow breaths every time in and out. I do have random panic attacks if that has anything to do with it.
Is this bad? what could be the matter?
my sister even said at night she can hear my deep breaths. (Its not snoring)
Many people, especially women, breath very shallowly. They are the ones not using their lungs appropriately. Breathing is meant to be slow and deep. This does a much more effective way to rid your body of carbon dioxide and replace it with oxygen. If your breathing was from your tendency to be anxious it would be rapid breaths you would show, not slow and deep.
I wanted to take the time to show you how to silent snore problems. If you have this problem than you probably don’t think it is that big of a deal. You’re sound asleep while you do it, so it isn’t that big of a deal. But you have to think of the people around you that have to listen to it. It’s time to think of your wife or husband. It’s time to think of your roommate or children. They’re the ones that have to listen to this night after night. You’re only lowering the quality of their sleep, which puts them in a much more stressed out position. I’m going to show you how to silent snore problems.
When it comes to snoring something specific is happening in your throat area. Essentially your throat is just a tube, but imagine if that tube was squeezed. What would happen? You’d experience much faster speeds with the air going through the tube, which would create wheezing sounds and causing any loose tissue to vibrate. This is essentially what happens when you snore. The real question is what makes your throat constrict? It is actually your jaw and the way it is positioned as you sleep.
Now all you have to do to silent snore problems is use a jaw supporter. It is a really simple device that wraps around your head. It holds up your chin as you sleep and keeps the jaw off your throat. This prevents you throat from constricting in size, so you won’t produce any snoring sounds.
I wanted to take the time and show you how you can get snoring relief. A lot of people have this problem and don’t realize how easy it can be to fix it. There is this general misconception that you have to invest a lot of time and put in a lot of work if you want to stop this for good. Some people are even led to believe that they have to go in for surgery and get tissue removed out of their throat. None of this is actually true and only in small minority of cases is that necessary. I’m going to help you get snoring relief with the best snoring product that I have come across.
The first thing you have to realize about the problem is that there are only so many variables that you can control. Besides surgery, you can’t control the loose tissue in your throat that vibrates. A specific thing happens when you sleep, but the muscles that hold your tongue go loose and your tongue presses back closer to your throat. Lastly, your jaw goes unsupported as well and puts pressure on the throat. Out of all these characteristics, all you can control is your jaw. This is how you can find snoring relief.
The best snoring product that I have come across is the chin strap. It is a relatively simple device to use. It wraps around your chin and the top of your head. It provides the support your jaw needs and will allow your throat to remain wide open.

How do I sleep when my grandma is snoring VERY loudly? Help please I’m tired!?
I’m at my house and my grandma is here. She snores SO loud! What can I do to fall asleep? I have to have piece to follow asleep, but once I’m asleep I’m good. I can’t move rooms, I can’t use headphone or earplugs…or shut her door because she has to listen out for the baby. Mine is shut but her’s is like right out side of mine and it is VERY loud. I have blankets stuffed under my door but it still isn’t helping. Should I wake her up and has her to go to the rocking chair, because she said she would, but I don’t want to be rude, and I need sleep tonight. PLEASE HELP ME!
The remedy and treatment for snoring is well explained here and I got benefited..
With a sound machine or white noise machine, you will be able to lie down at night and sleep with confidence, knowing that nothing unusual is going to wake you up in the night and leave you frustrated and exhausted. The night of good sleep makes the machines well worth whatever you need to pay to get one-and thankfully, most models have a very reasonable price tag!
Running one of the machines, you will be able to block out all those horrid nighttime noises that keep you tossing and turning. The noises will still be out there, but you won’t be hearing them. Instead, your body and your brain will be buffered by the machine’s ambient sounds. When using a sound machine, it is important that you keep the machine closer to you instead of closer to the distracting noise. A sound machine can even be helpful when trying to sound proof a bathroom!
Sound machines can make the biggest difference at night. When the lights go out in most apartment complexes, it seems like all noises get amplified and reverberate throughout the building. Street noise filters in as well, further reducing your ability to get a sound night’s sleep thanks to so many distractions. With all the demands that the average day has for you, you really can’t afford to be a sleep-deprived zombie on a consistent basis.
As a result, they can be the key factor between loving your apartment and being driven slowly insane during the hours when you are home. Since the sound is designed to muffle other noises without creating a pattern, you can turn it on when you come home and not be entranced by it. Instead, you can just enjoy your down time in the house without any annoyances. Some sound machines offer basic white noise while others offer a variety of soothing and calming sounds include waves, waterfall and other nature sounds
. To say that sound machines can be soothing is an understatement. They help provide a sense of deep calm and tranquility, even in crowded complexes. They can be a very effective way to block out neighbors who just don’t know when to turn it down or stop what they are doing without needing to get confrontational, call management, or ring the police. Sound machines work as a kind of masking technology for your home. When you have one running, it creates ambient noise that effectively drowns out background noise. Instead of latching onto every odd sound coming through the walls and analyzing it, your brain will be freed from those intrusions so that you can relax and concentrate.
The trouble with apartment living often boils down to the walls. No matter how pretty they are, they just aren’t thick enough. As a result, you often know far more about your neighbors’ lives and personal habits than you’d like. Sound machines are one way to fight back against the bumps, bangs, musical notes, snores, and flushes of the building where you live.
It depends what kind of noise cancelling headphones you get. If you get the passive ones, they won’t help you at all. You have to get active noise cancelling headphones to block low frequency noises. The more expensive they are the better they work usually. Bose are the best but they are very expensive.
I could hardly believe it. More than a year had passed and it had once again been time for the annual company ski trip to the Pocono Mountains. Unlike last year, almost everyone had decided to go the night before and stay in the same hotel, getting a full night’s sleep and reaching the slopes early, without getting lost on the way. Or so I thought. Although Sidonie had intended to join us the previous year, her excessive amount of alter-names had proven too many to fit on the invitation and she had therefore stayed home. This year she had been asked verbally. But perhaps the greatest difference between the two years is that this time I would attempt to ski, an experience, I must admit, I greatly looked forward to–with as much enthusiasm as root canal therapy without Novocain.
Having been the first to make the almost three-hour drive, I approached Mount Pocono shortly before 7:00 p.m., seeing the sun, low on the western horizon, cast a soft, yellow glow through the ubiquitous, bare, brown trees on the snow-devoid mountains. Wait, I thought, no snow meant no ski. The thought of not having to face my ski schizophrenia provided a momentary relief, but I felt sorry for those who had really come for the experience.
Although Mike had not traveled the night before and therefore had not shared the room with me, his ability to dictate my unearthly wake up time had hardly been eradicated. In order to reach the slopes by 9:15, I had to get up by 7:30–at least physically. He would see the rest of me by noon, I had warned.
Making my way down the long hallway and into the breakfast room like a zombie the next morning, I immediately caught glimpse of equally sleep-deprived Dorit, the other company Duty Manager.
“Did you sleep?” she anticipatorily asked.
“Nope,” I answered.
“I didn’t either,” she responded with a hint of desperation. “How could I with the noise in this hotel?”
“What noise?” I inquired.
“From the group,” she answered.
“You mean our group?”
“Yes, I mean our group.”
“What time did you get here last night?” I wondered.
“I arrived at 11:45 and the rest came at 1:19.”
1:19, I thought. At least her state had not robbed her of her accuracy.
I later learned that their late arrival had been due to loss of directions and the need to stop at Burger King.
“It seems they availed themselves of the hotel’s facilities,” she continued to explain, “going from room to room, to the pool, to the Jacuzzi,” whereupon, one by one, they entered the breakfast room, pajama’ed and barefoot. This year had already begun to vie with last year for “events,” I thought.
Leaving the group to its lengthy, “morning-after” preparation, Dorit and I decided to depart on time, as scheduled, she in the lead car with David and I in the trailing car with Damian. David, requesting a momentary bathroom visit before departure, reappeared 20 minutes later, at which time we drove out of the parking lot. Boy, did he have to go, I thought. Adhering to a self-restricted five words per day, he confidently led me to believe that he would not shatter Dorit’s cherished early-morning silence during the drive.
Following her jeep down the long, winding road toward Jack Frost Mountain, I turned into the parking lot. One year later and there he stood: the Mike. I had awakened at 7:30 and could barely see through my eyes. (I had actually forgotten that Damian had been next to me the entire time.) He had awakened at 5:00 and looked so damn chipper and cheery. With a positive mood like that, there must be snow up here somewhere, I thought. All right, so much for Plan A. There must be a Plan B.
Tires crunching over gravel alerted me to an approaching red car containing the only three who had not elected to drive the previous evening: Annie, Sidonie, and Jenner. Sidonie, wearing her Viking hat, sat in the back and folded the map a final time. Annie, owner and driver of the car and a person who had little patience for lengthy, embellished conversations, sat next to Jenner in the front who, unlike David, restricted herself to five words per second. In fact, she had initiated a sentence upon entering the car in New York and had just reached its verb as it pulled into the parking lot three hours later. As Annie opened the door, I attempted to read her thoughts, which assuredly must have gravitated round a single desperation: I need a Valium!
Jenner, getting out of the car, adjusted her sunglasses and stood before me.
“How was your ride?” I inquired.
Thinking it over, she responded with her universal, one-word-fits-all-occasions response, “Lovely!”
Walking across the road, we entered the lodge. Ordinarily used as a lounge and designated “Canteen,” it had been four times larger than last year’s and had featured a bar, multiple tables and chairs, a fireplace, a sofa, wall-hung sleighs, and a wooden, outdoor deck with picnic tables. Serving as the group’s base, it would be the location to which we would return throughout the day.
As the others settled in, Damian and I elected to inspect the public areas and have a look at the ski slopes. Opening the door and catching first glimpse, I went into mild panic. There it was: the white stuff, blanketing the mountain. Didn’t it know how late in the season it was and that it should have melted by now? The snow and I were already not getting along. Oh, God, where was Plan C?
Because the group would travel the same short distance as Dorit and I had and would not be given misdirections by Adam, who had been unable to attend this year, they should theoretically have trailed us by only a few minutes, but, in fact, pulled into the Jack Frost parking lot almost two hours late.
“Where have you been?” Dorit inquired, as they filed across the road to the lodge.
“We stopped in McDonalds,” Patrick explained.
Could this group not go anywhere without stopping at a fast-food place first? I wondered.
Back in the lodge, Mike prepared to purchase the ski tickets. Counting the number of people who intended to take lessons and those who intended to partake of full-fledged skiing (do you think I was part of the latter group?), he temporarily left and returned with the stack of ski passes, the sight of which sent fear through my body like a bolt of lightening. Those tickets may well have been gallows! I could not believe that I was going to go through with this!
Mike distributed the triangular-shaped hangars which attached to one’s clothing and on which the peeled, gummed passes were glued. Examining these two items, I could not imagine how they could possibly be united into a single, hanging identification badge, and took some 20 minutes of attempting multiple configurations before I had been able to do so. If attaching the badge were this complicated, I thought, what would it be like putting on the actual skis?
The sheer thought of this only heightened my nerves–so much so, in fact, that a fart slipped through my body, but got stuck between its exit point and the hard, plastic bench on which I sat, vibrating with earthquake intensity as it attempted to escape and sounding very much like submachine gun fire. Bobbing up and down in a virtual blur, I assuredly must have looked as if I rode atop a jackhammer.
Somewhere at the ski resort, a nasal voice asked, “Ena, what’s that noise?”
“I don’t know,” an equally throaty voice croaked back.
I later learned that Ena and her friend had been in an enitrely different room.
Successfully hooking the assembly to my pants, I stood up.
“You suddenly look very confident, Robert,” Mike observed.
Silently looking at him, I thought: there’s a fine line between confidence and stark terror. Besides, I had also just released enough wind to create a tornado and my body was now a lifeless sack of organs.
Thus provisioned for my pending trauma, I left the main lodge with Sidonie, Damian, and Jenner, crossing the snow-covered ground to the ski equipment rental shack. Directed first to the ski boot room, we walked among the aisles of boots. If Jenner had so much as hinted that this lead-weight, Jolly Green Giant footwear appropriate only for walks on the moon was “lovely,” I was going to scream! No shoe store ever looked like this, I thought. “Look at these fashions,” I commented, attempting to deliver a milder statement, as Damian, making no attempt to ascertain the correct size, aimlessly began to try on the closest boots to his reach. Then again, there seeemed to be only one size: HUGE!
Deciding upon a set of boots (did they have to have a pair that fit me?), I moved to the next station. As I clumped across the floor in my 100-pound foot armor, displaying as much finesse as a rhinoceros walking down an aisle of Swarovski crystal, I shared a reflection from last year’s ski trip with Jenner and Sidonie. “Now I know what Joseph was talking about last year when he put his ski boots on for the first time and said, ‘These shoes are damn tight,’ only damn’ wasn’t quite the word he had used.” Sidonie gave me that glazed look.
In order next to obtain the properly-sized skis, we had to present ourselves at two counters, where we were required to complete and sign a consensus form more detailed and complicated than that preceding open-heart surgery.
“You have to circle one of the numbers between one and three,” the representative instructed me.
“What do they mean?” I asked.
“One is the lowest amount of ski experience and three is the most,” she answered.
“Don’t you have anything lower than a one?” I desperately inquired.
Assessing my ski boot size, she then waded her way through the racks until she had found the corresponding skis, returning to the counter and, after tightening them with a screw driver, handed them over to me.
Shakingly, I cradled them in my arms and looked at her pleadingly. Puzzled, she looked back, wondering what I could still have wanted. What, I thought, no prayer? I’m a first-time skier!
Now fully outfitted with boots and skis, I walked toward the exit, following Damian, Jenner, and Sidonie, at which time one last person stopped me. Did he want to see my ski badge, too? I wondered.
“Wait,” he said, “you have to get your poles.”
You get those, too? I thought. For all I intended to do, I probably could have done without them.
As the four warriors now emerged on to the battlefield of virgin snow, led by Sidonie in her Viking hat, Jenner proudly proclaimed, “I’m not a novice! I’ve had former skiing experience.”
“Where?” I asked, already anticipating how inferior I would look in comparison to her.
“Holland,” she enthusiastically shared.
With a country entirely under sea level, you could have done better than that, I thought, and my anticipated inferiority image rapidly faded. Sensing my disbelief, she supported, “No, there are small hills there.”
I didn’t know that the country was so overrun with ants, I thought!
Damian had been the first of the four to actually ski…in other words, make the initial plunge into danger. Attaching his left boot to his ski and then the right, he stood erect, grabbed his poles, and catapulted across the snow-covered ground like an F.104 fighter launched from an aircraft carrier deck, careening into a snow bank.
I will certainly look more professional than that, I thought. Following his lead, I attached my ski to the left boot, praying that it would not fit (the moment of truth was at hand and I had run out of plans), and then the right. As if the plug on all friction had suddenly been pulled, I accelerated forward, passing Sidonie and picnic table in a helpless blur, and yelled, “Sidu..” until the facade of the lodge intervened and arrested my travel. So much for the improvement over Damian! I thought
New activities often provide new perspectives and I must admit that, during my initial ski experience, that I had had a profound revelation–namely, that everyone has a goal in life and that mine was to return to the ski rental shop and kiss my concrete-griping shoes to kingdom-come.
Mike, sensing the need for a personal ski lesson, stood next to me, issuing a submachine gun fire of instructions: “Stand up straight…poles on the side…skis directly ahead…bend the knees…lean back on the shin bones…ankles stiff…head forward…eyes ahead…center of gravity over the skis…in other words, work your way into a position like you have to go to the bathroom”
I shot him a glance and stated through chattering teeth, “It may not be like!”
“Okay,” he stated, “that’s it. You’re ready! (Ready for what, I wondered?) “I suggest you ski to the right toward the beginner’s slope.”
“Ah,” I nervously pondered, “I actually think I’ll ski to the left.”
“The left?” he puzzled. “What’s there?
“The place where I return the equipment,” I hesitatedly answered.
“Well, then,” he answered with attempted patience, “I’ll go off skiing myself.”
I almost felt sorry for him after all his work. I said almost, because the question of whether there had been a cast for every part of the body–yes, that part, too–had not yet been answered.
Jenner, upon inquiry from her Station Manager concerning her initial ski experience, stated, “I fell down” and promptly bent face forward to reveal, as evidence, the round, wet spot on the pants covering two half moons which, when put together, equaled a full butt, no buts about it.
Fear certainly has a way of distorting perception. First-time skier Ecaterina had somehow passed me and made it to the top of an 8,000-foot mountain with a vertical drop. “Robert!” she yelled. “You should see the view from here. It’s beautiful!”
“Marvelous,” I yelled, fearing a noise-induced avalanche. “Take pictures! I’ll look at them later.”
I subsequently learned that her elevation had been three feet higher than mine had!
While performing one of my cross-country ski expeditions–translated as between one picnic table and the other–a passing skier yelled, “How’re you doing? By the way, which group are you with?”
I stretched a crooked arm and pointed to the three souls clinging to the picnic table like capsized ship survivors clutching a floating life raft. Cowardly, yes, but they were my group and I loved them!
During one of my “ski walks,” which must have made me appear as graceful as a hippopotamus attempting the ballet, a blue, stocking hat image blurred by to the right, caught his ski on an ice protrusion, and plunged into an almost sequence-indistinguishable maneuver of impact: the right ski tripped on the elevated surface; the left ski rose vertically toward the sky; gravity pulled his rump toward the hump; the skier plunged into the snow, careening toward the left; the right leg flipped over; the head bored a trench into the ice; snow entered the left nostril like a plunger into a backed up toilet; and the entire discombobulated, white-sheathed ice bank came to a halt.
“Are you all right?” I yelled.
The snow pile nodded.
“I’ll try to make it there and help,” I returned, “but at the speed I move, I think spring thaw will get there first.”
Luckily, a more experienced skier passed, lifted the man up, and transformed him from snowman to human. By the time the situation had been remedied, I myself had significantly closed the gap to the scene–by at least a foot!
Meanwhile, picnic table-bound Sidonie had bravely attempted several unaided skiing positions herself, which justifiably must have made her very proud: at the end of the bench, on the middle of the bench, half a butt hanging off the bench, and a full, double-diamond switch–from the bench to the table. I could not help but wonder: why did she look more content than I?
The waning sun beckoned everyone back to the lodge, where the pear-filled schnapps glasses, sporting miniature flags, lined the picnic table on the outdoor deck, and the goulash, dumplings, and spaetzl warmed in chafing dishes on the bar, filling the room with aromas of Austria. One by one, they returned to the comfort and safety of the hut like soldiers seeking refuge in their barracks from battle, nursing their wounds: George, with a black-and-blue buttocks, Munny with a swollen leg, Ricky with torn ligaments, and Sidonie with splinters (from the picnic table). Swelling seemed to be a common denominator in Munny’s ski adventures. Last year, as I recall, he had brought some girl, disappeared, and did not resurface until the end of the day with very swollen lips, as if some cosmetic doctor had gone hog-wild on him with collagen injections.
All too soon it had again come time to leave and make the long drive back to New York.
As I drove out of the parking lot, I could see Mike recede in the rearview mirror and I somehow sensed that the recipe for next year’s trip had already begun to simmer on the back burners of his mind.
Driving through Pennsylvania on Interstate 80 and passing the Delaware Water Gap as Damian and Noemi slept, filling the car with a cacophony of snores and snorts, I reveled in the fact that I had come a long way in overcoming my ski phobia: last year snow tubing, this year ski lessons, and next year–who knows, I may actually put on both skis…
You may not be able to silence it. I never thought I snored, but my girlfriend said I did, it bothered her and it was a major source of problems in our relationship.
My girlfriend, who is a lot smarter than me, bought a “white sound” machine and this has pretty much solved the problem. She is no longer bothered to any great extent by my snoring.
Snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea which can be a dangerous health risk. You should have your boyfriend see a doctor to check on this.
Sleep apnea is caused by collapsing of the bronchial tube just as the old fashioned paper straws used to collapse when you suck on them too hard. This problem can be corrected by the snorer wearing a mask connected to a machine similar to a mask worn by snorklers. But these masks can be expensive ( cost several hundred dollars )and are quite annoying and cumbersome to the wearers
As far as your problem in being annoyed by the snoring, try getting a snoring machine which is similar to a white noise device. They cost about 50 dollars. The machine can be placed anywhere in the bedroom and the snorer does not have to wear any kind of snorkler mask. That’s what my smart and wise girlfriend did, and it may have saved our relationship. I was a knucklehead who did not have enough smarts to deal with the problem
