These easy throat exercises defeated the most stubborn snoring and sleep-apnea the very first night
Description:
A few nights later, my snoring was gone entirely and has never returned.
That was after being a chronic snorer for decades (you know, the kind that would almost wake up the neighbors).
I was even diagnosed with sleep apnea (which scared the life out of me).
Anybody can do these throat exercises, no matter age or physical shape. And you need no extra gadgets.
Best of all, you can do them almost anywhere (while stuck on a red light or watching TV).
I made the following short video to explain the exercises in more detail.
They have helped thousands of people, so I hope you’ll give them a try.
Want text version instead of video? Here is simplified transcript…
Once in a lifetime, a complete miracle happens.
Something strikes you out of the blue that changes everything.
Discovering this simple treatment for stubborn snoring and horrendous sleep apnea was one of those miracles.
Because not only did it change everything for my wife and me, it has since helped thousands of people all over the world.
And it happened on a day I least expected (as I’ll explain in a second).
Unlike doing deadlifts in the gym, it is more like chewing on a great meal. So, everyone can do these snoring exercises, no matter age or physical shape.
In fact, you can mindlessly do the exercises anywhere, anytime: while stuck in traffic surfing the net, watching TV, or wherever suits you.
What feeling would you associate the most with snoring?
. . . others or all of those combined?
Ever since I was a kid, I was plagued and embarrassed by my snoring. I remember going on a ski trip and keeping my friends awake at night.
After the first night, I had to room alone because nobody could stand sleeping around me.
And how much fun they made of me!(Nowadays, it would be called bullying.)
I couldn’t do sleepovers. And throughout the years, I was even afraid to spend the night with girlfriends because I knew they would never put up with my snoring.
After I got married, I became really desperate about my problem. (It was actually “our problem” now.)
Even worse, my wife was terrified when she witnessed how I stopped breathing in my sleep, only to gasp for air like I was drowning half a minute later.
This happened several times a night.
Years passed before I learned this was a potentially deadly condition called Sleep Apnea!
I read every book, article, and forum post there was about snoring. Plus, watching so many online videos, my eyes turned red.
I subscribed to hundreds of paid medical journals to be able to read the official studies on snoring and sleep apnea.
I consulted numerous doctors, therapists, and other snoring medical professionals.
One important thing I learned was that there are many types of snoring, and only a small percentage could be solved by each “solution.”
That’s why there are so many snoring “solutions” to choose from – because each person’s snoring is different.
I even wore those ridiculous devices sold online to put in your mouth and on your head.
I even considered surgery. But I later learned – despite the huge cost – snoring surgery rarely works in the long haul.
Even worse, operations like these can cause serious damage . . . even brain damage.
Putting it simply, I tested every Eastern and Western snoring medicine that I could find.
. . . in fact, it was getting worse.
So, I kept on waking up my wife several times a night with my snoring, keeping her up for hours.
Needless to say, this was becoming a real wedge between us and was hurting our relationship severely.
We fought about everything and held a grudge toward each other, especially in the morning.
Frankly, our marriage was on the edge!
If we didn’t have a young daughter, we probably would have separated.
Eventually, we found ourselves leaving the bedroom and taking turns sleeping on the couch.
I felt ashamed and frustrated.She was sad and disappointed.
Trying to lift our spirits, we took a family trip to Australia.
We had a beautiful two-bedroom apartment with a sea view over Perth’s magical white beaches.
The mother and daughter shared one bedroom and I had the other one. It was better that way.
One morning, I was explaining to my wife what I had been studying.
How snoring is always caused by some kind of block in the breathing passages, and that any treatment was aimed at removing that particular block.
All of a sudden, she looked at me and said: “This is what I work on with my students all the time.”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
You see, at this point, I have to explain to you that my wife used to be a classical singer but turned to teaching a few years ago.
She explained to me that, if you are going to sing well, everything in and around the breathing passage has to be open and strong.
And that’s exactly what she trained her students to do every day!
Note: Just so you know, you can do the snoring exercises in complete silence. You don’t have to do any singing.
Completely by accident, the woman I had been married to for five years held the key to solving the problem that had been holding our marriage hostage for so long.
That day, my wife taught me the exercises she had been using with her students for years.
Within a week, I slept a whole night without snoring for the first time in decades.
And after just three weeks of training . . .
Meaning, I have never snored again!
And those dreadful episodes of sleep apnea were also gone.
But then the disappointment hit.
Since I know how embarrassing snoring is and how great a toll it takes on relationships, I started preaching the exercises to literally everyone.
Like a crazy person, I asked strangers if they had problems with snoring. And if they did, I insisted on teaching them the exercises I had been using.
It’s not, however, so farfetched to ask strangers about their snoring problem.
Because snoring is one of the most common reasons for couples fighting.
30% of women and 50% of men snore.
Nearly 1/3 of those who snore also suffer sleep apnea, a potentially deadly condition – and often without knowing it.
Snoring and sleep apnea limit your breathing and, therefore, the amount of oxygen you take in during the night.
This often leads to fatal conditions such as:
. . . plus, sleep apnea is also the leading cause of obesity.
And unbelievably, snoring can even lead to hearing loss of both the snorer and their partner due to the loud noise throughout the night.
About 50% of people have a partner who snores. This means that snoring affects almost everyone in one way or another.
And having someone keep you up every night with their loud snoring is even more serious than snoring yourself.
Lack of good quality sleep causes many of the same symptoms as snoring does, but much more drastically.
It leads to even deadlier conditions such as:
. . . plus, it causes you to underperform like a zombie throughout the day.
Over 100,000 car and home accidents every year are blamed on sleep deprivation.
Thousands of people die every year because their partner kept them up with their snoring.
But most seriously, it robs you of the joy of life, because you’re just not yourself.
But you see, snoring is not any laughing matter. It’s not some annoyance that can be brushed under the carpet.
If you snore, or your partner snores, you’re putting each other in a life-threating situation.
You may possibly be causing each other an early death.
That’s why I was so fanatical about sharing the snoring solution I found with everyone.
But unfortunately, the simple voice exercises didn’t help everyone.
Just like nasal sprays and jaw straps only work for specific types of snoring, so seemed to be the case with simple voice exercises.
I was in an ideal position to work this out, since I had been studying snoring for years.
I changed the exercises to focus on particular “problem areas.”
I found out exactly what worked and what didn’t work when it comes to opening up the throat and removing other blocks that cause people to snore.
And I also discovered ways to do the “voice exercises” without having to make a single tone.
So, don’t worry if you don’t like to sing – the exercises are completely silent.
Since I had spoken about this with so many people, I had literally hundreds of people who were willing to test my new exercises for me.
They gave me feedback on what worked for their particular type of snoring.
I then used that to improve those exercises and identify different problem areas.
You see, snoring is always caused by something partly blocking and narrowing your breathing passages (throat, nasal passages, mouth).
Then, the soft tissues in your breathing passages flap in the airflow – like trash blowing down tight allays – making the loud noise.
But what blocks the breathing passages differs from person to person.
(You may have more than one of these types)
Nasal strips will do no good if your snoring is caused by weak tongue muscles.
And soft palate surgery won’t help if your throat is to blame.
All these magical cures for snoring you see advertised online and TV take on ONE of these issues at best.
That’s why they don’t work for most people.
Plus, if they do work for a while, you’ll have to keep on using them for the rest of your life.
They’re not cures, only temporary bandages.
And who wants to have to sleep with a nose tape or jaw strap every night for the rest of their life?
Not to mention if you need a CPAP machine for sleep apnea.
I, however, have developed 24 stop snoring exercises that each focus on a specific issue of snoring.
And the snoring exercises work fast.
Whereas it took me three weeks to completely treat my snoring, most people using my new, improved snoring exercises achieve the same thing within a week, and often, the very first night.
It’s very easy to find out.
I’ll give you a few simple questions to diagnose exactly what type of snoring you have.
For example: “Do you snore even when you sleep with your mouth closed?” (Your partner may need to answer this.)
If the answer is Yes, then more likely than not, your nasal passages are to blame. (We’ll do a few follow-up questions to diagnose this for sure.)
And I’ll give you specific exercises focused on opening up the nasal passages.
I’ll recommend 3–4 exercises based on your type of snoring (throat, tongue, nasal passages, jaw, or soft palate).
Each exercise takes about a minute or two to do. So you’ll have to put aside 3–5 minutes per day to completely treat your snoring.
Today, you should put aside an extra five minutes to learn the exercises for the first time. I explain them in simple language, and the directions are well-illustrated, so they’re very easy to learn.
Plus, you can also follow along on the audio directions I give you – just to make things even easier.
Best of all, you can perform the exercises anywhere, anytime – even while stuck in traffic or watching TV. After a few days, they’ll become completely automatic.
So, doing the exercises really doesn’t take time from anything else.
And yes, I recommend you keep on doing the exercises for a few days, even if you don’t snore. Just to make sure it doesn’t reappear.
You see, treating your snoring is all about opening up the breathing passages so they’re not blocked by anything.
Because some people take a few days to treat their snoring, I used my understanding of the subject to develop sleeping positions that work the very first night – even before you begin using the exercises.
These positions also guarantee you never have to snore again, even in the extremely rare instances the exercises don’t help or take a long time to work. (Again, this is very rare, but I’m a perfectionist and want to make sure you’re 100% happy.)
In one sleeping position, you can lie on your back; the other, you sleep on your side. It all depends on what you like.
Okay, let’s pause a little and allow me to take a wild guess . . .
You’re tempted to try the exercises.
It makes sense to you that strengthening and loosening up the breathing passages is more effective than invasive surgery or uncomfortable devices.
But still, there is this little nagging voice in the back of your head telling you this may not work.
Maybe even that this is all just a sham to get your money.
Well, first of all, notice that Blue Heron Health News publishes “The Stop Snoring Exercises Program.”
They’re the leading publishing company in alternative health information, and they’ve a great reputation to maintain.
They will never publish anything that’s not thoroughly proven by hundreds, even thousands, of users.
So, this is obviously not a sham.
Even if it helps everyone else, maybe your snoring problem is somewhat different.
That’s the nagging question, isn’t it?
Maybe you’ve already spent a fortune on nasal and throat sprays, mouthpieces, and headbands.
Maybe you’ve even unsuccessfully undergone a snoring surgery.
I understand . . . not just from my own experience, but also from thousands of emails I’ve received throughout the years.
People who have tried everything under the Sun to manage their snoring, and nothing has helped till they gave the easy stop snoring exercises a go.
That’s why we’re today . . .
Order the program today and try the exercises for yourself.
Test every step in the program.
You’ll most likely experience an immediate difference tonight.
But it may also take a few days, maybe even a week.
But if you’re not 100% satisfied with the results, just shoot us a quick email and our in-house customer service team will refund you on the spot – no questions asked.
Because for a few people, treating their snoring takes a little longer, we’re extending our 100%, no questions asked, money-back guarantee to 60 days.
That means you can thoroughly test the program for a whole two months before you decide if you’re happy with it.
It’s like buying a new car, driving it for two months, and then returning it back to the dealer because you don’t like the color.
As if that wasn’t enough . . .
You don’t even need to return the program.
Since it’s downloaded online, delivering it costs us nothing.
So, even if you get a refund, keep the program for later, just in case you ever want to give it a second go.
And then the burning question, if you’re happy with the program . . .
The keyword here is, of course, “happy,” because if you’re not happy, you pay nothing.
But to completely treat your snoring, what is that worth?
After all, that’s just a fraction of what other “solutions” cost you. And they’re not guaranteed to work like our exercises.
But that’s not the price you pay today.
I think you’ve realized by now that money is not my driving force. Helping you overcome your snoring is.
In fact, what I’d like most is to give everything away for free. But with the high costs of creating, publishing, and promoting a program like this, that’s not possible.
And I’m sure that the cost is not really your main concern.
The only thing that really matters is that . . .
In just a few moments, after you decide to take the leap of faith and order “The Stop Snoring Exercises Program,” you’re going to be taken immediately to the membership page.
There, I’ll take you by your hand and lead you through the simple steps of:
The total time from now until you’re done with the first set of the snoring exercises is under 12 minutes.
If you’ve any questions, concerns, or problems, hit the “Contact Us” link at the top and bottom of every page of this site, and the highly trained, in-house customer service team at Blue Heron Health News will immediately resolve it.
Their great support team is one of the main reasons I decided to go with Blue Heron.
. . . because you’re going to be so excited about going to sleep tonight and seeing what happens.
If you don’t snore the very first night, celebrate. But keep at it for at least a week or two to make sure you have tackled your snoring at the roots.
If you still snore a little tonight, repeat the same exercises tomorrow. They only take 3–5 minutes, so no big deal.
And then comes the moment your spouse says . . .
Can you imagine how you’re going to feel?
How liberating it will be?
Just think of all the tension this will relieve. All the shame and frustration you’ll be free of.
Something that has probably been bugging you for years.

LONDON (AP) — Most people have accumulated a pile of data — selfies, emails, videos and more — on their social media and digital accounts over their lifetimes. What happens to it when we die?
It’s wise to draft a will spelling out who inherits your physical assets after you’re gone, but don’t forget to take care of your digital estate too. Friends and family might treasure files and posts you’ve left behind, but they could get lost in digital purgatory after you pass away unless you take some simple steps.
Here’s how you can prepare your digital life for your survivors:
Apple
The iPhone maker lets you nominate a “ legacy contact ” who can access your Apple account’s data after you die. The company says it’s a secure way to give trusted people access to photos, files and messages. To set it up you’ll need an Apple device with a fairly recent operating system — iPhones and iPads need iOS or iPadOS 15.2 and MacBooks needs macOS Monterey 12.1.
For iPhones, go to settings, tap Sign-in & Security and then Legacy Contact. You can name one or more people, and they don’t need an Apple ID or device.
You’ll have to share an access key with your contact. It can be a digital version sent electronically, or you can print a copy or save it as a screenshot or PDF.
Take note that there are some types of files you won’t be able to pass on — including digital rights-protected music, movies and passwords stored in Apple’s password manager. Legacy contacts can only access a deceased user’s account for three years before Apple deletes the account.
Google
Google takes a different approach with its Inactive Account Manager, which allows you to share your data with someone if it notices that you’ve stopped using your account.
When setting it up, you need to decide how long Google should wait — from three to 18 months — before considering your account inactive. Once that time is up, Google can notify up to 10 people.
You can write a message informing them you’ve stopped using the account, and, optionally, include a link to download your data. You can choose what types of data they can access — including emails, photos, calendar entries and YouTube videos.
There’s also an option to automatically delete your account after three months of inactivity, so your contacts will have to download any data before that deadline.
Facebook and Instagram
Some social media platforms can preserve accounts for people who have died so that friends and family can honor their memories.
When users of Facebook or Instagram die, parent company Meta says it can memorialize the account if it gets a “valid request” from a friend or family member. Requests can be submitted through an online form.
The social media company strongly recommends Facebook users add a legacy contact to look after their memorial accounts. Legacy contacts can do things like respond to new friend requests and update pinned posts, but they can’t read private messages or remove or alter previous posts. You can only choose one person, who also has to have a Facebook account.
You can also ask Facebook or Instagram to delete a deceased user’s account if you’re a close family member or an executor. You’ll need to send in documents like a death certificate.
TikTok
The video-sharing platform says that if a user has died, people can submit a request to memorialize the account through the settings menu. Go to the Report a Problem section, then Account and profile, then Manage account, where you can report a deceased user.
Once an account has been memorialized, it will be labeled “Remembering.” No one will be able to log into the account, which prevents anyone from editing the profile or using the account to post new content or send messages.
X
It’s not possible to nominate a legacy contact on Elon Musk’s social media site. But family members or an authorized person can submit a request to deactivate a deceased user’s account.
Passwords
Besides the major online services, you’ll probably have dozens if not hundreds of other digital accounts that your survivors might need to access. You could just write all your login credentials down in a notebook and put it somewhere safe. But making a physical copy presents its own vulnerabilities. What if you lose track of it? What if someone finds it?
Instead, consider a password manager that has an emergency access feature. Password managers are digital vaults that you can use to store all your credentials. Some, like Keeper,Bitwarden and NordPass, allow users to nominate one or more trusted contacts who can access their keys in case of an emergency such as a death.
But there are a few catches: Those contacts also need to use the same password manager and you might have to pay for the service.

The Canadian Paediatric Society says doctors should regularly screen children for reading difficulties and dyslexia, calling low literacy a “serious public health concern” that can increase the risk of other problems including anxiety, low self-esteem and behavioural issues, with lifelong consequences.
New guidance issued Wednesday says family doctors, nurses, pediatricians and other medical professionals who care for school-aged kids are in a unique position to help struggling readers access educational and specialty supports, noting that identifying problems early couldhelp kids sooner — when it’s more effective — as well as reveal other possible learning or developmental issues.
The 10 recommendations include regular screening for kids aged four to seven, especially if they belong to groups at higher risk of low literacy, including newcomers to Canada, racialized Canadians and Indigenous Peoples. The society says this can be done in a two-to-three-minute office-based assessment.
Other tips encourage doctors to look for conditions often seen among poor readers such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder; to advocate for early literacy training for pediatric and family medicine residents; to liaise with schools on behalf of families seeking help; and to push provincial and territorial education ministries to integrate evidence-based phonics instruction into curriculums, starting in kindergarten.
Dr. Scott McLeod, one of the authors and chair of the society’s mental health and developmental disabilities committee, said a key goal is to catch kids who may be falling through the cracks and to better connect families to resources, including quicker targeted help from schools.
“Collaboration in this area is so key because we need to move away from the silos of: everything educational must exist within the educational portfolio,” McLeod said in an interview from Calgary, where he is a developmental pediatrician at Alberta Children’s Hospital.
“Reading, yes, it’s education, but it’s also health because we know that literacy impacts health. So I think that a statement like this opens the window to say: Yes, parents can come to their health-care provider to get advice, get recommendations, hopefully start a collaboration with school teachers.”
McLeod noted that pediatricians already look for signs of low literacy in young children by way of a commonly used tool known as the Rourke Baby Record, which offers a checklist of key topics, such as nutrition and developmental benchmarks, to cover in a well-child appointment.
But he said questions about reading could be “a standing item” in checkups and he hoped the society’s statement to medical professionals who care for children “enhances their confidence in being a strong advocate for the child” while spurring partnerships with others involved in a child’s life such as teachers and psychologists.
The guidance said pediatricians also play a key role in detecting and monitoring conditions that often coexist with difficulty reading such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, but McLeod noted that getting such specific diagnoses typically involves a referral to a specialist, during which time a child continues to struggle.
He also acknowledged that some schools can be slow to act without a specific diagnosis from a specialist, and even then a child may end up on a wait list for school interventions.
“Evidence-based reading instruction shouldn’t have to wait for some of that access to specialized assessments to occur,” he said.
“My hope is that (by) having an existing statement or document written by the Canadian Paediatric Society … we’re able to skip a few steps or have some of the early interventions present,” he said.
McLeod added that obtaining specific assessments from medical specialists is “definitely beneficial and advantageous” to know where a child is at, “but having that sort of clear, thorough assessment shouldn’t be a barrier to intervention starting.”
McLeod said the society was partly spurred to act by 2022’s “Right to Read Inquiry Report” from the Ontario Human Rights Commission, which made 157 recommendations to address inequities related to reading instruction in that province.
He called the new guidelines “a big reminder” to pediatric providers, family doctors, school teachers and psychologists of the importance of literacy.
“Early identification of reading difficulty can truly change the trajectory of a child’s life.”
