Optimal Breathingtmm Sleeping, Snoring, Strokes Years ago, when I focused on my goals and purposes, I put on the top of my want list to be able to wake up rested. It just seemed to make sense.

For most, eight hours of sleep is adequate, although some function well on six hours, even four; others need ten. Many have forgotten what a good night's sleep feels like. apnea snoring problem According to the Institute for Sleep Medicine, the most common sleep related problems are snoring, sleep apnea, excessive daytime sleeplessness, involuntary napping, restless legs during sleep, shift work, jet lag, insomnia and sleep walking. Interventions for the above include sleep medicine, neurology (for brain disorders), lung disorders, surgical treatments, mouth breathing aids, mechanical breathing machines (CPAP etc), psychology, psychiatry, dentistry, speech therapy and pediatrics.

My recorded Better Breathing Exercise #2, also called the Tibetan Caffeine [PRODUCT 130], will energize and focus while facilitating a potentially life saving increased mental clarity and second wind.
