The gift of a silent night

MANILA, Philippines - How do you capture and enjoy the tranquility of a silent night if your partner is on a snore-fest? Life with a partner or family member that snores incessantly can be nothing short of torture. The problem of a snorer in the family has plagued millions of couples all around the world.

There are many reasons why a stop to snoring can benefit not just the snorer, but the entire family. Being sleepless because of snoring can cause irritability, cognitive impairment, hallucinations, a slower reaction time and accuracy, obesity and even the risk of heart disease.

Relationship-wise, snoring spouses can be resentful of the fact that they feel helpless about their problem. There are times when they can be unaware that they have a snoring problem. On the other hand, the non-snoring partner or members of the family feels his frustration and fatigue increasing because of the non-stop sleepless nights. All this may result into strained and sometimes broken relationships. In fact, some couples even choose not to sleep together in the same bed thus affecting intimacy.

Studies have shown that snoring occurs in 44 percent of men and 28 percent of women, usually in people 30 years of age or older. It is usually associated with being overweight, nasal congestion and extreme fatigue. Other people who snore may also suffer sleep apnea, which is the temporary stoppage of breathing while asleep.

There is, however, a way to keep the peace at home and have silent and holy nights not only during Christmas, but all throughout the year. It is a combination of Western medicine and Chinese medical philosophies. Western medicine directly treats the affected part of the body. On the other hand, Chinese medical philosophy encompasses everything that may affect the patient — emotions, environment and diet.

The Anti Snor Acupressure Ring bases its cure on these principles. It clears the meridian, and it allows energy to flow freely through the body and assists to maintain the balance of chi within the body. The ring has a little dimple on one side. These are the twin acupressure points. Half an hour before going to sleep, the snoring partner can slip on the ring at the base of his/her little finger with the gap facing upwards.

The Anti Snor Acupressure Ring works based on the principles of acupressure. The spikes in the ring press on some nerves that are connected to the muscles supporting the airways. The slight pressure on your left pinky finger is all it takes to solve the snoring problem for all. Of course, apart from wearing the Anti Snor Acupressure Ring at night, it is best to take up exercise or a sport to help the snorer lose weight and relax.

The best thing is that the benefits of the snorer wearing the ring extend to the whole family. Everyone will benefit from a good night’s sleep and is more alert and productive during the day.

This Christmas, make sure that you give the gift of a silent and restful sleep with the Anti Snor Acupressure Ring that can be bought at selected Watsons stores.
