Sing or Snore


If you, or someone you know, has a problem with snoring, you might be able to sing it away...



If snoring is a problem in your life, it's something to sing about. New research shows some snorers are sawing less wood at night after trying the singing technique. Singing works the muscles in the back of the throat. If they're not used enough, they get lax and flabby, and vibrate with deep breathing during sleep. It also exercises the soft palate, the arch at the back of your throat, works the tongue and opens nasal passages.

Belting out any tune can help, but try replacing the lyrics with these: Oooon gong gong oon gaa gaa. Those long Os, soft Gs and soft As work all the right muscles.
