When I purchased How To Overcome Snoring, I thought I would have the answer after reading the book.Unfortunately, I still do not know how to overcome snoring.Many quotes from many different authors are used throughout the book. Dr. Boulware mentions muscle training for treatment, however, with no details, one cannot overcome snoring. Many different treatment suggestions were offered- the same ones offered in every other snoring book that have a very low success rate. The author did talk about attitude and warm fuzzies, etc. These are great ideas that everyone can benefit from.However, they did not tell me how to overcome snoring. ... Read more

Product Description
Here is that passage that explains why Albert Jay Nock called his book Snoring as a Fine Art:

Snoring should be regarded as a fine art and respected accordingly. If this be admitted, I might suggest further that our civilization does not so regard it, as it should, and gives the practice no encouragement, but rather the contrary.

Consequently one might with reason think that there is too little snoring donesnoring with a purpose to guide it, snoring deliberately directed towards a salutary end which is otherwise unattainableand that our society would doubtless be better off if the value of the practice were more fully recognized. In our public affairs, for instance, I have of late been much struck by the number of persons who professedly had something. The starry-eyed energumens of the New Deal were perhaps the most conspicuous examples; each and all, they were quite sure they had something. They had a clear premonition of the More Abundant Life into which we were all immediately to enter by the way of a Planned Economy. It now seems, however, that the New Deal is rapidly sinking in the same Slough of Despond which closed over poor Mr. Hoover's head, and that the More Abundant Life is, if anything, a little more remote than ever before.

I do not disparage their premonition or question it; I simply suggest that the More Abundant Life might now be appreciably nearer if they had put enough confidence in their premonition to do a great deal less thinking, planning, legislating, organizing, and a great dealoh yes, a very great dealmore snoring.

Albert J. Nock: a shrewd, humorous and free intelligence.
Albert J. Nock was a libertarian anarchist who entitled his autobiography "The Memoirs of a Superfluous Man" because he acknowledged that he did not fit in the 20th century.Little is known of his private life; he followed a maxim of Epicurus: "Live unknown," but his ideas were legion.He grew up in Michigan, played semi-pro baseball, graduated from college with a class of four, developed a felicitous prose style, and wandered back and forth between America and Europe discussing and writing about ideas for 30 years before retiring to Brussels, one of the last "civilized" refuges available. Nock was a clarifying thinker.He never presented his ideas as being new, hot off the press.It was his forte to give the known a new twist, a slant on things which usually conflicted with the stereotypical thinking of his contemporaries.Nock was also a "radical" thinker, insistent on getting to the root of the matter and not being satisfied with supreficial explanations.His desire in every instance was to find the reason of the thing, to get wisdon, to get understanding.What is remarkable about Nock is that he helped the truth along without encumbering it with himself. "The Art of Snoring" is a collection of dozen essays with titles as varied as: "Utopia in Pennsylvania: The Amish," "Henry George: Unorthodox American," Bret Harte as a Paradist Wtih a Note on Nationalism in Literature," and "Alas, Poor Yorick! An Apology for the Human Race."A veritable treasure chest of of provocation delivered in a warm, spare style which never loses the reader however complex the idea. The title essay is a discursion on the discovery that Tolstoy's portrayal of General Kutusov, the leader of the Russian army at the time of Napoleon's invasion, was correct, even though the study disagreed with most military histories of the conflict.Kutusov's strategy was to ignore the advice of his subordinates and the Tsar, who hungered for distinction and a battle, and to do nothing and let the Russian climate drive Napolean out.As Nock put it: "Even the Tsar had to bottle up his chagrin in the face of the fact that, even if his old general's management had not been exactly stylish, it had nevertheless somehow turned the trick in the cheapest and most effective way."When's the last time you heard a general described as stylish?Nock tells the story of Kutusov and draws the lesson that under certain circumstances, "snoring should be regarded as a fine art and respected accordingly."He concludes by noting that too little snoring is done - quite the opposite. I can recommend without reservation any book Nock wrote.He's largely unknown to readers, but as one of his admirers said: "To him Henry George and Thomas Jefferson were quite as unassailable as Montaigne and Rabelais, and he reserved the right to be their exclusive interpreter. . . .A man who writes like an angel deserves to be loved for that; but Nock was to be even more admired for his ideas which never failed him."He was a man too rare today, a writer willing to defend his prejudices, immoveable, ineradicable, Gargantuan, buttressed on every side with warehouses of learning pigeonhold for immediate and triumphant service. Try him.You'll never look at the world the same way. ... Read more

It Put Me to Sleep! -- Just Talk with Your Doctor Instead
Rarely do I quit reading a book -- I usually always go to the end.This title was the exception.Having a snoring problem and seeking some insight, I purchased "Snoring from A to Z" to learn more about my condition.While the author does give some general information in the early part of the book, the rest of the pages are nothing more than a reference guide for various medical techniques to remedy snoring.None of these techniques could be done by one's self -- each would require a doctor's supervision and administration.I'd recommend saving your money and passing on this title -- go to some sleep disorder sites on the Web, or just discuss the matter with your physician.

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Snoring," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Snoring in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Snoring when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Snoring, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
Snoring is a common symptom of airway obstruction, which is included in the spectrum of sleep-related breathing disorders. The manifestation may occur alone (primary snoring) or in association with other signs and symptoms such as rhinorrhea, hyponasal speech, cough, hypopnea, and sleep apnea. Furthermore, snoring in the paediatric population is increasing and has been identified as a primary health concern by the American Academy of Paediatrics. This increase has been associated with a rise in co-morbid disease processes such as asthma and allergies, lifestyle changes and increasing changes and increasing obesity in the paediatric population. This book examines the clinical picture, aetiology, diagnosis and treatment of snoring in paediatric patients. A thorough review of the literature data on the efficacy of the different types of intraoral devices used in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea (OSAH) is also assessed, as well as the two common urological consequences in OSA patients, namely Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and nocturia.Other topics discussed in this book include the underlying etiologic factors associated with sleep disordered breathing (SDB), a review of diagnostic studies that have been used to assess upper airway anatomy in patients with sleep-disordered breathing and a discussion of a multi-disciplinary approach taken to address the interaction of etiological components associated with SDB, to identify the causative agent(s) in specific individuals seeking definitive resolution. ...
