SnoreStop Tablets May Save You From Killing Your Spouse

Whereas many women I know complain about their husbands snoring, I must confess that I am the snorer in the family. I've always snored, no matter how much I weighed. Years ago, before kids and when I had a 9 to 5 job, I remember taking naps in the park during my lunch hour and actually waking MYSELF up with my snoring!

I don't have sleep apnea. I just move mountains with the amount of noise that comes from my nose and mouth!

Is it an earthquake? Nope!  Just me snoring!

I've tried everything to stop my snoring including throat sprays, nasal strips, chin straps, avoiding dairy and alcohol before bed, using various pillows (or foregoing a pillow altogether). I even wore the ever-disgusting mouth guard. So the other day, when I saw yet another “cure” I hadn't tried, I was intrigued.

SnoreStop Homeopathic Tablets are supposedly “all natural”, boast no side effects, and are allegedly non-drowsy. The product targets any inflammation of the soft tissue lining the back of the throat and dries up mucus that blocks the nasal passages. By addressing these issues, snoring should stop. The clincher for me was the money-back guarantee the stuff comes with. I grabbed the package and put my cash register receipt in a place I'd remember (too often I lose the receipts). 

Did these stop my snoring?  Read on!

I followed the directions and took one pill 30 minutes before retiring for bed and another as I got into bed.   

Feedback from my family the next morning indicated that although SnoreStop didn't stop my snoring altogether, it did reduce the decibel level so I wasn't snoring as loudly.

This pleased my family so much, they want me to continue using the product.

Sure, I was disappointed that it didn't eliminate the problem completely. But if the kids are happy, I'm happy.

I'm keeping my receipt just in case the effects of SnoreStop doesn't last, but after using it for three nights, I'm satisfied with the product.

Mountains do not move and everyone is sleeping better. Best of all, I don't have to wear that obnoxious, uncomfortable mouth guard that I HATED. Give SnoreStop a shot. With a money-back guarantee, you have nothing to lose.

Travel Anxiety – 8 Ways To Help Your Child Deal With Going Away

 

 

A psychologist friend and I were talking about how her Summer is going. “I'm seeing a lot of kids with Travel Anxiety,” she said. Apparently, some kids get nervous about going on family vacations, even though the prospect is exciting and promises a fun time. It makes sense. Children may react to change and that includes leaving familiar surroundings to find adventure elsewhere. And even though his/her loved ones will be there, the process of traveling, whether by land or by sea, may prove stressful. So with plenty of Summer still ahead, how can you lessen Travel Anxiety in your child?

1. Get your kid involved in the vacation planning. If possible, allow them a voice in the destination. If that's not feasible, give them some say in the itinerary of things you'll do while you're away. Having some control over what they'll be doing, perhaps something as simple as going to a park with swings, etc., may help with the powerlessness they feel by the prospect of leaving their familiar environment. 
   
   
2. If you're going to a hotel, show them photos on the hotel's website of what their room might look like. Seeing where they're going to be so they can picture themselves in a new place can help lessen nervousness.  
   
   
    
   
   
3. Let them vent and help the child problem solve. Discuss with them what they might be afraid of. You can reassure them that, yes, there are bathrooms on the plane and that there are, in fact, french fries aplenty in South Dakota. If they want to take a stuffed animal on vacation, let them, although you may need to stipulate how large the animal can be. 
   
   
4. Build physical activities into your vacation and let your child know that you'll be doing them. Walking, bike riding, hiking, and playing ball on the beach are all great tension-reducing things that will benefit your child mentally, as well as physically. 
   
   
    
5. Give your child some stress-busting tools. Positive self-talk, for example,  mentally repeating a phrase such as “I'm a big kid, I'm can do this, and I am calm,” while breathing deeply may help. And speaking of breathing, one technique Diva and I use is called Visualize The Flower. We picture a rose, which can be any color, slowly opening. We breathe deep as we describe to each other what the flower looks like (my daughter favors a tie-die rose), how it's unfolding, and what it smells like (sometimes cotton candy is the fragrance). The breathing bonds and calms us both down; it's especially good for when you're stuck in traffic or when the plane is taking off.
   
   
6. Reward your child for being brave.  I go to our local dollar store and stock up on trinkets to reinforce good behavior.
   
   
    
   
   
7. Make sure your child stays hydrated and sticks to normal bedtime routines. Being tired and thirsty only contributes to stress. 
   
   
8. Remind them that once vacation ends, they'll be back in their own warm, comfy bed with stories to tell their friends.

Vacations are fun, but they can be unnerving, especially for children who are powerless over routines and destinations. Yes, you're busy packing and organizing, but helping your child deal with Travel Anxiety ahead of time will help everyone have a better time.
