Product DescriptionWalk into any first-period high school classroom and it’s obvious: teenagers are exhausted. Sleep deprivation is an epidemic as widespread as obesity – and as damaging. Fortunately, science has answers and Dr. Helene Emsellem has solutions that all parents can use. Affecting the lives of more than 41 million adolescents in the United States alone, kids just aren’t getting enough sleep. We know this intuitively as we watch kids frantically juggle a hectic social calendar with the overwhelming demands of school, work, and chores. School performance around the country is suffering – but it’s not just grades that are at risk. Sleep deprivation has been found to affect nearly every aspect of a teenager’s life, from emotional stability and behavioral issues to physical well-being and the potential for drug and alcohol abuse. For years, we’ve blamed many of these teenage characteristics on the natural maturing process or changing hormones. And while chemicals do surge through the body creating strong effects, sleep – the right amount and the right kind – has now been targeted as a key to overall success and well-being. Snooze… Or Lose! explains the extraordinary role that sleep plays in teens’ lives and provides guidelines for helping teens get the sleep they need. Written in a lively and down-to-earth style, with lots of tips and advice – including an “insider’s perspective” from the author’s teenage daughter – this book will be the go-to guide for parents and kids looking for a good night’s sleep.

It’s pretty doggone tough when you don’t have someone else to blame, isn’t it?

The worse the habit, the harder it is to break. And the more you beat yourself up creating more and more guilt. Are you ready to do something about it?

How to Break Bad Habits — The Simple Guide to Stop Hard to Break Habits

In someone in your home snores, you have no doubt searched high and low for a cure for snoring. Anyone who loses sleep due to the dull sounding roar of a snoring person is frustrated and tired. The idea of a cure for snoring is one that is hoped for by many but seems doubtful after a night of tossing, turning and prodding the snorer next to you. There is little doubt that those who live with a snoring partner or who snore themselves are robbed nightly of precious sleep. Unfortunately, for the person that snores, cures can be elusive and often times ineffective over the long run. For Those Who Snore, Cures Often Prove Elusive It is important to review the lifestyle of the individual that snores to determine if there are possible lifestyle changes that can be implemented to reduce the occurrence and or severity of the nightly disruption. Many simple lifestyle changes such as a reduction in alcohol, smoking, overeating or exercise can affect the snoring habits of an individual. Lifestyle Changes Can Provide Cures For Snoring Alcohol and tobacco consumption each have an affect on the nasal and airway passages. If you are an individual that snores it is important to recognize that these two chemicals will negatively affect your body and increase the amount snoring that will occur when under their influence. If sleep apnea, insomnia or sleep disruption due to personal snoring is a problem, you might want to discontinue using either of these substances. By making this decision and implementing the lifestyle change, you may have provided a cure for your snoring problem. Overeating, being overweight or eating heavy meals within three hours of going to bed can also adversely affect your sleeping habits and the bodies ability to breathe properly once you have fallen asleep. Implementing a dietary change, increasing your exercise and reducing your body weight and eating a lighter evening meal may provide benefits that will be noticed in the reduction of your snoring as well. It is a very widespread belief that the issues of weight and snoring are closely tied and the reduction in weight can be a cure for snoring problems. Another cause of snoring can be allergies that block the nasal passages and affect the throat. If this is a major cause for concern in resolving your snoring problems, you might consider visiting an allergist to discover how you might modify your response to airborne allergens. Many times, reducing the number of dust mites, pet dander and mold in your bedroom can immediately reduce the allergic reactions you suffer and reduce your nightly snoring. Searching For A Cure For Snoring Is A Personal Study Trying to find a cure for snoring is really a cause and effect study in your lifestyle and sleeping habits. If you take the time to analyze your current lifestyle and behaviors, you may be able to simply decrease the snoring by modifying your behaviors. There are many people that cannot stop snoring just by way of behavior modification, but prior to investigating surgery, it would be wise to evaluate smaller changes that might make a big difference in the long run.
