Sleepless nights are a common curse, yet many people think snoring and sleep apnoea are things you just put up with, whether you're the partner or the sufferer. But if left untreated, these sleep disorders can lead to poor concentration and drowsiness, memory problems, impaired work performance, relationship breakdowns, irritability, and even high blood pressure, heart disease and strokes. Many have gone to drastic lengths to fix these conditions - going to expensive clinics, buying elaborate equipment, and undergoing surgery - when in fact the solution could be quite simple. Change the way you breathe and say goodbye to snoring and sleep apnoea. After 18 years of clinical experience, Tess Graham has successfully treated thousands of sufferers. In this practical guide she reveals the nine habits that can help you to overcome the dysfunctional breathing linked to sleep apnoea and snoring. Her five-day program is quick, easy-to-follow and effective. By learning to breathe more gently, slowly and quietly you can significantly improve your sleep and your health, boost your energy levels, and subsequently enjoy better quality of life.
