He included a busy man, so to maintain the quality of sleep. But the story does not stop here, in the end the candidate's wife also married, with a note to be treated to remove her snoring.

What is "snoring"?

"Snoring" is partially or completely closing the base of the throat by the tongue and or soft palate (the Javanese call inthil-inthil, part of which seemed to hang like boxing-glove on the inside when we open our mouths and on the mirror).

Closing some holes throat causing unpleasant voice heard, or been called snoring. If the hole throat closed, we might run out of breath for ourselves. This is called sleep apnea, severe version of the snoring, with signs of a sudden there was no sound of "snoring" as before. In a dangerous level, if sleep apnea is happening for a long time will cause a person can not breathe. But don’t worry.., because your body will automatically shift position when the snoring occurs that leads to sleep apnea

Base of the tongue and soft palate to fall, how come?

Actually, the tongue muscles and soft palate, including the strong muscles in our bodies, given the role to form the vocal. But, we lost consciousness during sleep. This means loss of control over those muscles. So there was snoring.

However snoring is more common in people who are fat, you know. Why can? Because many parts of her body was almost covered fat, so that the inner circumference of the throat can also be easily pressed by fat, which means that the fat person is more apt to occur constriction.

So, how do I cure the snoring?

The easiest way to remove snoring is "postural training". That is properly positioned our bodies, so minimize the possibility of clogging the throat by the tongue or soft palate of our own. you can sleep lying on my side, or our throat positioned parallel to the oral cavity. It is like putting a tennis ball pipe on the back of our necks. So that we would look up to minimize the possibility of the collapse of the tongue to the throat.

Including maintaining good habits, namely by not smoking and exercise enough. This will make our body more fit, so that our bodies still have enough muscle control to maintain the base of the tongue and soft palate.
