Today I’d like to offer a tip for snoring. To reduce snoring, try sleeping on your side, which helps air flow more freely. A body or wedge pillow can support this position throughout the night. According to medical studies, if you’re overweight, losing just 5 to 10 percent of your body weight can ease pressure on your airway and reduce snoring. Dry air can irritate nasal and throat tissues, so use a humidifier to maintain 40 to 60% humidity, especially if you live in a dry area or use air conditioning. Clean your air conditioner often to avoid dust and mold buildup. Steaming the room with peppermint or cajuput essential oils may also relieve nasal congestion. If your snoring comes from a blocked nose, especially during cold weather or allergy season, rinse your nose with saline solution or a neti pot before bed. This helps clear mucus and open your upper airway, making it easier to breathe quietly through the night.
The moment has come to pick up the good mood book and check out the joke of the day. It’s called “Batteries Needed.”
Julian is walking down the street struggling with two huge suitcases when a stranger asks:
“Got the time?”
Julian glances at his wrist. The watch announces automatically:
“A quarter to six.”
“Nice watch.”
“Thanks, I built it. It can speak the time aloud for any city, in any language. Plus, it’s got GPS and an MP3 player.”
“Wow! How much?”
“This is just my prototype. It’s not for sale.”
“I’ll give you one thousand dollars.”
“I can’t. It’s not ready.”
“Five thousand dollars! Well, OK, but...”
The man slaps a wad of cash into Julian’s hand, grabs the watch, and briskly walks away. Julian yells, running toward him with the suitcases:
“Wait, don’t forget the batteries!!!”
