12 REMEDIES TO STOP SNORING
12 REMEDIES TO STOP SNORING
1. Clear nasal passagesA clogged nose is a major cause of snoring, it makes it difficult to breathe while sleeping which results in snoring. Its important to keep nasal passages clear while sleeping, it also creates a vacuum in the throat which leads to snoring. Your nose can be cleared by blowing out whatever is inside before you go to bed.
2. Avoid alcohol
Along with other things, alcohol is a strong muscle relaxer. Alcohol consumption makes the muscles of the throat collapse which creates obstruction in your airway which leads to snoring.
3. Don’t overeat before bed
Eating right before bed can cause snoring, a heavy meal before bed leaves our body no time to digest it. A stomach full of food exerts thrust on the diaphragm which puts pressure on airways and results in snoring.
4. Lose weight
4. Lose weight
Being overweight is one reason behind snoring. Losing weight lowers the fatty tissue in the back of your throat which helps prevent snoring.
5. Raise your head
5. Raise your head
Raising the head of your bed can put an end to your snoring habit by avoiding the collapse of your airways which reduces snoring.
6. Change your sleeping positionSleeping on your back can result in snoring. This makes the base of the tongue and soft palate collapse towards the back of throat which results in a vibrating sound when we sleep. Sleeping sideways can put an end to this problem.
7. Get your allergies treatedAllergies related to our respiratory system force us to breathe using our mouth. Treating your allergies is helpful to stop snoring. You can take an antihistamine if needed before going to bed.
8. Avoid sleeping pillsSleeping pills and tranquilizers are excellent muscle relaxants. This is why they make us fall asleep, however when our muscles get too relaxed snoring begins. You can try these natural remedies to have a good night sleep.
9. Give up smokingSmoking has many health hazards and snoring is one of them. Smoking creates nasal congestion which results in swelling of the throat. This swelling narrows the airway causing snoring.
10. Use a steam bowlA steam bowl can be used to get rid of snoring. Take a steaming bowl and place your head over it, cover your head with a towel and breathe deeply. Doing this clears the nose and decreases swelling in the airway.
11. Maintain sleep hygieneTry to keep your sleeping environment clean and dust-free. When we breathe during sleep dust enters our nose which blocks the airway causing snoring. Change your pillow covers regularly to ensure they are dust and germ-free. Dust accumulates in the pillows which causes allergic reactions that can lead to severe health problems along with snoring.
12. Get ample sleepDo not work too much without sleep. Not getting ample and regular sleep makes you overtired and then when you sleep the muscles become floppier and cause snoring.

A Challenge to Digg Stop the Government burying news
A Challenge to Digg Stop the Government burying news
BBC NEWS | Politics | ID card costs rise above £5bn: "Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Nick Clegg said: It is bad enough that the government seeks to bury bad news behind the camouflage of Tony Blairs announcement.
Breaking the law to do so breaks new ground even for Tony Blairs Labour Party."
I dont like ID cards for lots of reasons. The cards are powered by a huge database of everyone in the country. All your details in one place. And I think thats open to abuse. NO2ID can explain the flaws in more detail.
The Government agreed to announce the offical cost estimates every 6 months, and they are three weeks over due when they got released today. Why? Well it seems the Government have decided to hide the announcement that the costs have risen half a billion quid behind the resignation of the Prime Minister.
Thats rather cuntish.
So I challenge you digg. Spread the word. They may try and hide it, so we just need to shout louder. Visit the BBC article linked in the title. Get the ID card article above the Resignation article in the Beebs Most viewed and Most emailed.
Cause a fuss. Youre good at it.

A Few Fundamental Truths About Game Reviews So Stop Being So Mad
A Few Fundamental Truths About Game Reviews So Stop Being So Mad
 |
| Always remember: If it makes lots of money, it is perfect and immune to criticism. |
To catch you up: Theres a game called Grand Theft Auto V. Maybe youve heard of it. Like all games in the series, you commit horrible, violent crimes. Arguably, in V, those crimes tend to be a bit more on the gruesome, appalling scale than in earlier games.
Reviews are coming out. Greg Tito of the Escapist gave the game the shocking, war-crime level rating of 3.5 stars out of 5, saying "only buy Grand Theft Auto V if youre prepared to play as characters with no justifiable motivation for doing awful things to people."
Predictably, their forums exploded into haterage, as a huge portion of gamers are nothing but giant, ambulatory, exposed nerves mainly good for the spraying of spite.
So Greg Tito had to back up the largely obvious, expected, self-evident points he made earlier with a long follow-up article. Its worthy reading.
Man, I loves me some good internet drama. Its like fudge. I can eat it all day. Keeps me from working. But ...

A Few Sanity Comments
1. Evaluating the worth of a work of art with a number, a clump of stars, or the positioning of ones thumb is completely arbitrary and useless. We know that, right? Ignore it. You cant judge a work of art with a number. Its not like theres some Art Scale you can put art on and weigh it and say, "This weighs 7.32 Arts, so its good."
2. The point of a critic is to criticize. Anyone in our developing art form who actually tries to stand up and make real points is worth applauding, even if we dont agree.
3. If you, as a critic, dont ever make a bunch of people angry at you, youre wasting your time. If youre never challenging anyone, why are you bothering?
4. Also, ProTip: When a carefully reasoned comment makes someone angry, that means youre on the right track. When you are being calm and thoughtful and people still rage at you, it means you hit a nerve that probably needed hitting.
5. As the art form matures, you have to expect that really egregious crap is going to get called out more and more. Sure, youre allowed to make a game thats morally repellent. But realize, as gamers grow up, have kids, and start to lose family members, they’re learning just how funny death isnt. The voices saying, "Why are the biggest, most glorious, most expensive worlds in the game industry being used for such a horrific end?" are only going to get louder.
6. This just makes me appreciate Saints Row IV so much more. Practically all of the comical violence in it is directed against evil, invading aliens or computer simulations. Makes it go down easier for us olds. And, yes, I am plausibly pointing out Saints Row as the sane, mature option, which is how we know that the world has gone mad.
7. A lot of the comments claim everything Greg Tito says is invalid forever because he gave Dragon Age II 5 stars out of 5. One, if youre wrong once, it doesnt mean you cant be right 500 times after that. And, two, read Sanity Comment #1 again.
8. That Grand Theft Auto V depicts what it does and yet is as popular as it is is very interesting. I think it says something about us as people. And Im not about to get all liberal and sensitive and say that its something inherently bad. I think the game addresses less the desire to do wrong and more a deeper, fundamental frustration. Not sure. Just a hunch. Bears more thought.
9. Finally. If we are going to assign numerical values to represent the value of a work of art in a storytelling medium (which we shouldnt, because its dumb and useless), it is necessary to take the quality of the story into account. I mean, right?
Yeah, Ill probably play GTA V one of these days. For as long as I can stand it, anyway. It sounds like a stunning technical accomplishment, the sort of thing a game designer has to play to keep ones skills current. I just dream of a day when the most technically spectacular games can be played with my kids in the room.
