Anti-social
Bad for your health
Bad for your work life
Bad for your family life

Bad for your sex life !

At the end of Stop Snoring Week 2005, snoring and sleep apnoea have been highlighted in the media.
There are many and varied ways to help reduce or stop this anti-social and potentially dangerous condition which affect both men and women.
S;eep apnoea- breathe holding during sleep can be associated with snoring and with daytime tiredness or drowsiness. Find out more if you feel you may be affected.

Dental appliances can be very effective in some types of snoring. Some of these "mouthguards" are DIY and maybe worth trying, however a professionally made one will fit far more comfortably and be tailored to your requirements.

This first is a link for you to listen to the snoring item on BBC radio 4's Weekend Woman's World program , broadcast on Saturday 23rd Spril 2005 .
