Is there a Nobel peace Prize for the cure for snoring?
This is perhaps TMI for my gentle readership but who knew I snored? Well Knott knew and I snore a lot.
A quick Google search of snoring revealed anecdotal evidence of links between snoring and even sleep apnea and dehydration. We tried Scholar Google and found no real studies or solid medical research.
The only things I found were things like "it's common knowledge there's a relationship between dehydration and snoring. Here's the link to our line of CPAP machines."
Still it seemed worth a try. Beats separate beds, rooms, CPAP machines, surgery or a pillow over my head.
"Here, drink water."
It worked and immediately. I mean immediately. As in her waking me up, having me drink some water, I go back to sleep and no snoring type of immediately.
How'd I get so dry? Studies say most of us are dehydrated. I was super ultra bone dry dehydrated. I worked in customer service call centers for umpteen years. There we could not exactly get up and grab a drink or well, just go to the bathroom as we wish. Your customer service person is not exactly chained to his or her desk but can't put you on hold because we need to go get a drink of water.
Someday perhaps I'll do a blog of what it's like in a call center. I'm not sayin' who or what company but it'll be an eye opener. You may never look at your iPhone or uVerse the same again. Don't get me wrong; the pay is excellent, benefits are superb, the amount of vacation time unheard of outside of teaching professions ... The cost on my health? Dramatic and disturbing.
I had a drinking problem. Problem was I did not drink. Cups of coffee to wake up and then nothing. And now as I catch up and I believe recover it's amazing what changes are happening. My skin's better, clearer and the snoring is almost gone.
