Proven Fact:
If You Don't Cure Your Snoring Sleep Loss Will Shorten Your Lifespan
Are you tired throughout every day? You may as well be digging your grave . . .
Looking at the calendar, the golfing trip with the guys was quickly approaching. An anxious feeling was growing in Robert’s stomach. He was considering cancelling the trip; his apprehension and worry was overtaking him. Robert has a snoring problem and it’s beyond what is considered ‘normal’. His snoring is abnormally loud and aggravating. He knew he would be teased on the trip and he knew the teasing was all in fun. But that doesn’t alleviate his embarrassment. He just doesn’t want to be the butt of the joke.
Aside from the annoying snoring habit, Robert wakes each and every morning extremely tired. Not just after a particularly late night or every once in awhile, but every single day he awkwardly and sluggishly drags himself through the day. At 44 years old, Robert looks, acts and feels a lot older than he really is.
We can all relate to a funny snoring story. Everyone has heard one and chances are, you have even shared one. What isn’t funny are the harmful and devastating effects snoring can play on your health.
Heavy and habitual snoring prevents you from getting a good night sleep. When you don’t get a good night sleep, there are health implications and serious consequences to your health. Snoring, sleep apnea and insomnia have all been linked to diabetes, heart attacks and strokes. It can be at the root cause of serious accidents and illness. Statistics indicate if you suffer from sleep apnea, you are more than 300% more likely to be involved in a fatal car crash.
Overall sleep quality is compromised if you are a heavy snorer, in addition to an increase of over a 50% chance of suffering a heart attack. The added anxiety and stress that comes with sleep loss can trigger depression, illness, disease, mental disorders, various other physical outcomes.
We have laughed at someone’s snoring story or even been the punch line of the joke. A particular circumstance or situation can be funny. However, if you or someone you love has a snoring ‘problem’ and consistently snores, coupled with constantly battling fatigue during the day, it could end in serious health barrier or even death. That is no laughing matter.

Without a Snoring Remedy Your Health May Be In Jeopardy.. (Heart diseases, heart attacks, strokes, and more are often linked to sleep debt!)
What you deem a simple snoring problem can lead to serious health concerns. Even death!
Adequate sleep is vital to your overall health. No less than water, air and food. It’s simply crucial to allow your body and brain, the time it needs to re-boot every day. If you're not getting enough sleep due to snoring then you need a snoring remedy.
When you sleep, your heart slows itself down and it relieves the stress you've gathered throughout your day. Your body needs time to decompress and gather energy to face another morning. Your blood pressure drops. Your body and brain refresh itself. You decrease the severity of age-related diseases. You can control illnesses such as hypertension, obesity, diabetes and memory loss.
Impaired sleep can harm your heart by putting undue stress and strain on the muscle. Cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, strokes and in extreme cases, death, have all been linked, to sleep debt. Chronic sleep loss hinders your body's ability to perform even basic metabolic functions, including regulating your hormones.
Snoring is often a pre-cursor to a more severe problem, know as sleep apnea. Those afflicted experience a blockage in their breathing airway, without even realizing it. This blockage deprives them of getting oxygen regularly throughout the night. Sleep apnea has a huge affect on heart disease. Apnea sufferers have an increase in developing high blood pressure – a major risk factor in developing heart disease and strokes.
The effects of sleep deprivation can lead to severe health concerns and an untimely death. Sleep deficiencies can negatively affect your brain function, which increases your stress hormones and leads to depression.

Sleep loss increases your appetite . . . . and your waistline.
In an ideal world, we would all go to sleep and in the light of day, we would magically be thinner. No watermelon diet plan. No exercising for hours in the gym. No magic pills or herbal supplements. Just go to sleep and wake-up lighter than we went to bed.
Seem like a dream? Hang on a minute. There is certainly some reality to the tale. The basis to successful weight loss can be as straightforward as getting enough rest.
Research indicates that individuals who are short on sleep tend to weigh more than those who get regular, quality sleep. There is, without a doubt, a fundamental balance between good sleep and good health. People with sleep deficiencies have misrepresented levels of a hormone known to manage hunger. This causes an boost in your appetite and also in your preference for high calorie foods.
When your body is deprived of sleep, there are many physical consequences. Lack of sleep alters your appetite, your mood and your hormones. When you are worn-out, you are more likely to crave comfort foods and are more inclined to indulge your hankering for them. Instead of grabbing for the carrot sticks, you will choose chips, chocolate and candy.
Even though you may believe you’ve received a momentary boost in your energy, you will find it is short-lived and you are hungry more frequently. Because the real issue is your drowsiness not your hunger, it will lead you - not just in making poor choices – but in making frequent poor choices.
Additionally, when you are sleepy, you are less resistant to stress, which activates emotional eating for a lot of people. People use food to stay awake, failing to acknowledge that it’s sleep your body is craving, not the food.
What does all this mean? Plainly stated – lack of sleep enhances your appetite and promotes weight gain. Anyone who is raiding their refrigerator at 2:00 in the morning can testify to that.

Feeling a little blue? Lack of sleep can intensify your depression.
Everyone can say they’ve felt a little blue at some point in time. A little down in the dumps and you just don’t want to confront the day. You’d rather yank the blanket over your head and just stay put. Encountering these feelings on occasion is typical but when they are extended and prolonged, it can be the start of depression. Depression strengthens your feelings of sadness, takes hold for longer periods and stops you from leading a normal life.
Lack of sleep alone cannot cause depression. It can, however, significantly contribute to it. When you don’t get adequate rest, your depression is exaggerated. It interrupts your normal, daily schedule and disrupts your professional, personal and social life.
Numerous reports have found that people who suffer from sleep disorders are more likely to develop depression. The severity of the sleep disorder is unequivocally linked to the risk of depression. Additional studies have shown that individuals that suffer from depression are five times (5x) more likely to experience a breathing-related sleep disorder.
Established connection between antidepressant use and sleep disorders.
When you suffer from depression, an antidepressant will more than likely be prescribed by your medical doctor. This medication can modify your frame of mind and help you in conquering your illness. Having said that, some antidepressants can trigger and intensify specific sleep disorders. REM Behavior Disorder – a disorder which causes a sleeping person to act out their often aggressive and brutal dreams – has been associated to the use of antidepressants.
More and more, doctors are observing the influence that prolonged antidepressant drug use has on their patients. As an increase in people turn to prescription drugs – medication use is on the rise. Instead of dealing with their fundamental issues, the drugs being doled out and it’s causing a completely new set of problems. The chemicals that go into the manufacturing of particular antidepressant medications, some doctors say that they aren’t surprised to learn about the unpleasant side affects on the brain.

Lack of sleep can land you in the unemployment line.
(“Honey – I’ve been fired. They wanted someone awake on the job!”)
Argh. That appalling feeling when you know a meeting has been scheduled for the afternoon. It’s only 10:30 now and all you are thinking about is when you can take a nap. How the heck are you going to survive the day, never mind the 2:30 meeting planned in the muggy boardroom, filled with dull supervisors who drone on and on and on? You plan to make a coffee-run and maybe a swift saunter around the block before the meeting starts. OR, maybe you can just transform your desk into a sleeping cot and hope no one comes looking for you . . . .
Fatigued, drained employees present a huge burden to their corporations. They cost companies billions of dollars in lost productivity, each and every year. Imagine the lost profit and those horrendous consequences – if you own your own company. Just think about what the means for you – if you are one of those lethargic employees. You could be the next statistic – you could lose your job!
Caffeine-stimulated and sleep deprived employees report a significant decrease in job satisfaction. When surveyed, tired employees indicated that lack of sleep alone can lead to overall job dissatisfaction. Those reports aren’t too optimistic for employers, seeing as the general workforce is getting fewer and fewer hours of shut eye these days.
Research indicated that individuals unfulfilled with their company, leave their jobs at an startling rate. Sleep deprived employees have an elevated absenteeism rate and are more likely to skip work. When they are agitated and stressed they miss work due to health-related problems and at times are merely too pooped to make it in to work for the day.
A company’s bottom line can be negatively impacted in positions when employees are responsible for dealing directly with clients and customers. Sleep deprivation causes employees to basically alienate customers; regarding them poorly and destructively representing the company. The happier the worker the more fulfilled the customer.
When you are tired and irritated, it’s a chore to sludge through your workday. You are more prone to inaccuracies and mistakes, you lack patience and tolerance with your co-workers, you lose concentration & focus and you lack complete desire to be at work.
On-the-job accidents and miscalculations in judgment result from lack of attention and fatigue. In turn, this can lead to dreadful consequences for your company and more significantly, for you. If you or a co-worker are in positions that entail the operation of machinery, tools or electric gear, the smallest impairment in your judgment can lead to critical harm and even death.

Battles in the courtroom? Perhaps there are sleep problems in the bedroom.
Couples struggling with sleep disorders encounter a higher rate of divorce.
It’s the all too proverbial scene that plays out in bedrooms all around the world. While one person snores away, completely unaware of the frustration they are causing, the other person squanders their night tossing and turning; elbowing and nudging and grumbling their way through another restless night. The scenario usually ends in the non-snorer lugging themselves to the bumpy couch for another uncomfortable, unpleasant night. Along with their pillow, they tend to carry along irritation, frustration and aggravation.
The secret to longevity in a marriage? A peaceful night’s sleep!
While you are snoring away each night - you most likely aren’t aware of the damage it’s putting on your relationship. You know how it’s affecting you and how it’s preventing you from getting a peaceful night’s sleep, but, do you recognize the affect it’s having on your bed partner? Do you fully recognize how it’s disturbing their sleep and affecting their mood and emotions?
If you are a chronic snorer, your bed partner’s sleep is equally as compromised. Even if they have come to endure and have learned to tolerate your snoring, their sleep is being impacted.
Couples who recurrently deal with sleep apnea and snoring also experience a higher rate of divorce. Hostility and conflict increase when quality of sleep decreases. That puts an immediate strain on your marriage. You are both weary and exhausted and you begin taking out your aggravation and frustrations on one another. You have less lenience and less tolerance for one another and you can definitely get deceived in the blame game.
Other relationships, relationships outside the perimeters of your bedroom walls, are also being compromised. Your personality changes and your character shifts. These changes are being noticed by friends, co-workers and family members. A straightforward conversation can take a negative turn due to your impatience, annoyance and irritation with others. Your sleep withdrawal is altering you; creating an entirely different person!
An otherwise stable and secure relationship is unlikely to deteriorate based solely on your lack of sleep. However, it can definitely add strain, exaggerate existing problems and intensify your discrepancies. Your communication skills are impacted when you haven’t had plenty of rest and problem sleepers are inclined to develop depression and become unsatisfied in their relationships. When you aren’t getting adequate sleep, all your relationships seem to be negatively impacted.

An overall chance for an accident or injury increases when your sleep decreases.
"We are gathered here today to celebrate the life and remember the man that Robert was . . . “
Their annual summer vacation was all but said and done. The Harrold Family was driving down the highway on the homestretch. The kids were all safe and sound and sleeping in the back seat while Karl and Monica were reviewing their adventures. Abruptly, on the other side of the road, a truck instantly veered off the highway, hit the ditch and continued to flip half a dozen times before coming to an end just short of a pole.
The Harrold Family sat in astonishment and were traumatized at what they had just witnessed. The next morning Monica inspected the paper to determine the fate of the vehicle’s occupants. The paper said there was only one individual in the vehicle and he was pronounced dead at the scene. It went on to say the crash resulted in the driver falling asleep at the wheel.
Fatigue, exhaustion and carelessness - - - all as a result of sleep loss - - - play a much larger role in more disasters, than ever reported. A major trigger in all road accidents is impaired sleep. When surveyed, in those that admitted they had driven while tired, over 1/3 of them also disclosed they had at one time or another, fallen asleep at the wheel.
Driving while exhausted is equivalent to someone driving while under the influence of alcohol. Lack of sleep mutates a person’s emotions and moods and it also diminishes their reaction time; equal to someone who’s had too much alcohol. A recent study reported that people who are sleep deprived are accountable for over 1/2 of all road accidents.
Lack of sleep impairs both your concentration and your response time. It’s projected that 20% of all injuries suffered at the workplace, happen because of an individual’s sleepiness. Workplace related accidents generate a fiscal liability on corporations, the health care system, the individual and on society as a whole.
You drive when you are weary and you don’t really give it much thought – it seems innocent enough and it doesn’t appear to be hurting anyone. That couldn’t be further from reality. The truth is it’s hazardous and it’s dangerous. It impairs your reaction time, restricts your decision-making abilities, alters your ability to make judgments and modifies your physical & mental ability.

Has anyone seen my sex drive? It’s gone missing . . .
Okay – let’s confess. There aren’t a lot of men out there who will voluntarily talk about this topic. It’s not a general conversation topic in too many locker rooms or when out for drinks with buddies. Not too many men will discuss, never mind declare, that they have trouble getting romantic. The matter is usually regarded as confidential and taboo. The only ones that generally know there is a problem are him and his partner.
Most men think the subject matter will induce a lot of jokes and laughter. The truth is, dealing with the issue of impotence is no laughing matter. The circumstance is upsetting, embarrassing and frustrating.
It could be that you have no trouble getting aroused. Fundamentally, you are healthy and physically sound. The only hurdle you are trying to conquer is your lack of desire. You don’t yearn for sex. You have no desire for intimacy. Your libido is absent.
A good night’s sleep could be the answer to your sexless nights.
You know how significantly important sleep is and you know how your total health is considerably impacted when you get good sleep. The same principals apply to your sex life. It’s negatively impacted when you don’t get proper shut eye. Numerous studies have implied that sleep directly affects a man’s testosterone levels. Sleep influences the variations in their hormones.
It’s been a proven fact that when a man starts to age, his testosterone levels start to fall off. When high levels of the hormone are present, a man is easily able to lose weight, his blood pressure improves and he tends to lose his hair less. On the opposite, scarce levels of the hormone are linked to a decline in libido, inability to sustain an erection and overall – a lack of sexual desire.
Sleep apnea and snoring critically hinder your quality of sleep you get. When you aren’t getting adequate, quality sleep, your sex life takes a devastating toll. When combating sexual impotence or lack of desire, a lot of men would point the finger at a number of outside factors: stress, money, work, family obligations, etc. The truth is, when men are troubled by a sleeping disorder, their internal body clock is interrupted and the end result is – an overall decrease in their libido.
A healthy sex-life and a healthy lifestyle are mutually exclusive. You need to take care of yourself. Eat a well-balanced & nutritious diet, learn to manage your stress, regularly exercise your body and most significantly – you need to get sleep. A lot of sleep! Your partner will thank you.
