You know what I'm talking about?

Yeah.

So that is a situation where the opening of the hose, you've closed it partially, and then the substance, which is water in this case, has to get out a smaller opening, and so it has to move faster to get out of that opening.

Same holds true with your nose.

So now your nose is that hose, and as you're breathing in,

Anything that makes your nose more narrow or blocks it is going to make the air move faster.

When the air moves faster, it causes a vibration, causes a cadence, and causes a snore.

So the only way to make snoring disappear is to open up the pipes.

Anything that is making the pipes narrow or blocking them, we've got to move out of the way.

And congestion, especially in the sinuses, does an amazing job of that.

So what ends up happening is your whole sinuses congest up, your mouth drops open.

Now you're actually breathing unfiltered air into your lungs and you're sucking your tongue to the back of your throat.

All of that flappy tissue back there is now got all the air running through it since it's not actually coming through your nose and now you snore.

So using something like a neti pod or something called a Navaj, which is a device that you can actually attach to your nose and it'll run salt water through your sinuses and out and get all that gunk out of there can be extremely, extremely useful.

It's not a bad idea to put an air filter in your bedroom.

It is the room you're spending the most time in in your home and you want that air to be of high quality.

Third thing that I tell people to do is create a pillow wall between you and your bed partner.

So remember, sound is a matter wave.

And so if you actually physically block it, it will bounce back to the snorer and then they will naturally turn away from you.

And then the final...
