• Vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine). Vitamin B-6 is necessary for the body to produce the level of serotonin needed for sleep. The recommended dosage of B-6 is 50-100 mg per day, which can be taken as a nutritional yeast mixed with a glass of fruit juice.
• Vitamin B-12 (cobalamin). If you do not get enough B-12, you may experience dizziness, confusion or memory loss, and insomnia. B-12 is usually combined with B-5 and is naturally present in wheat germ, bananas, peanuts and sunflower seeds.
If taken as a supplement, the recommended dose is 25 mg per day.

Vitamin B-5 can be used as an anxiety reducer and it is recommended to take 100
mg per day.
• Folic acid. Compared with the folic acid found in nature, the body processes synthetic folic acid supplements more effectively. Too little folic acid can cause 36 | H o w t o S l e e p L i k e a B a b y E v e n i f Y o u H a v e S l e e p D e p r i v a t i o n
insomnia. Foods that contain folic acid include leaf fiber, orange juice, beans, and fortified breakfast cereals. The recommended dose is 400 mg per day.

Snoring is a symptom, not just a person's behavior. Snoring is a sign of damage caused by an underlying problem. The damage from snoring is mistakenly recognized as part of the sleeping habit of many people, and most people don't even realize it, but it still happens today.
What is the damage?
Sleep is a recovery process that we must have in order to be healthy and smart.
Snoring is a disorder that can interrupt our sleep, causing us to wake up from trouble.
Snoring represents our ability to breathe properly and even the noise that snoring can generate.
Snoring is just a problem that the snorer himself has to deal with; this is something that can affect anyone within earshot, especially a partner sleeping in the same bed or someone sharing a room.
Another person's snoring can prevent the person from really getting a good night's sleep, it can be absolute torture for a person who has to share a bed or bedroom with someone who is snoring.
Noise is the least of the problems that snoring causes. In its ultimately harmful form, people die not from snoring but from sleep apnea.
Snoring is simply an audible manifestation of sleep apnea, which is the term by which a person involuntarily stops breathing while sleeping. It is sleep apnea that causes the snorer to breathe so heavily, let alone loudly.
Sleep apnea causes a person to wake up gasping for breath, or to change their sleeping position throughout the night. Lack of deep rest has a cumulative, degenerative effect on a person, affecting their mood, temperament, ability to focus, concentrate and be a productive individual.

Snoring is any kind of resonant sound made by breathing during sleep. The heart of snoring is the intersection of the oral cavity and the nasal cavity; this is the point where breathing causes vibration during sleep; also called snoring.
This vibration is caused by the narrowing of the airway. Since narrow airways are the cause of snoring, it should also be understood that the more crowded these passages, the louder and more disturbing the snoring sound. A state of relaxation.
The airway is made up of tissues that function in a way similar to muscles.
When a person sleeps, these tissues become somewhat slack; therefore, when lying down, this tissue actually blocks the breathing passages, causing the sleeper to pant, resulting in more forceful breathing, which is equivalent to snoring.
What factors affect a person's snoring sound?
Each person's composition and physique are unique. This affects why some people snore so loudly.
Including as part of the snoring sound and tone; basically, we all have the same parts, but we all have our own unique and recognizable sounds, and the same is true for snoring.
The extent of a person's snoring depends on the various factors involved in the process.
Because there is basically a layer of tissue that closes the airways that we need to breathe, breathing becomes more laborious and aggressive in order to provide oxygen to our lungs, body, and brain; snoring is the sound signal that the body has difficulty breathing.
This is a problem that can affect almost anyone, even babies. The smaller the tube involved in breathing during sleep, the more vigorous the body is, struggling to get the air it needs, so the tissue that blocks the airway will vibrate.
It is proportional to the power required to obtain the vital oxygen that our body is deprived of. This is why the snoring sound becomes so loud.

Generally speaking, men snore the most in the world. This in turn is related to the physical composition of the male body; in this case, the neck is usually thicker.
Because the male neck is more often fleshy in nature, more tissue material is found in it. Obviously, the more tissue around the neck and airway, the greater the likelihood of snoring. Women have a natural defense against snoring in the form of progesterone.
Of course, there are also women who like men and their snoring sounds are loud and fierce. In some cases, this is even more true, but it is not as common as men.
Progesterone is used as a form of treatment for snoring men.
Snoring: Causes and Amplifiers
As we have already mentioned, snoring is a symptom of other causes.
This symptom manifests in the form of a sound that is caused by the inability to breathe easily during sleep.
So, what caused this problem? Breath-related tissues are not the only culprit for this annoying problem. These factors are not gender-specific; these are issues that affect both men and women, even though there are twice as many men snoring as women.
Snoring factors are related to our health and lifestyle; there are many combinations of these factors, including the following:
• Allergies usually affect breathing
• Allergy medications can dehydrate the normally moist nasal passages
• Illnesses such as colds or flu can also cause shortness of breath • Scar tissue from nasal duct surgery
• Normal thickness of the nasal cavity
• Tissue found in the sinuses
• Misuse of nasal spray can irritate the sinuses and airways 42 | H o w t o S l e e p L i k e a B a b y E v e n i f Y o u H a v e S l e e p D e p r i v a t i o n
• Large tonsils and/or adenoids
• Goiter, goiter
• Too much tongue Large
• Obesity causes thickening of the neck and soft tissues
• Too big stomach
• Drinking
• Smoking
• Aging
Some of these problems affect men more than women, such as excessive stomach circumference.
This is believed to be part of the reason why men generally experience more snoring problems than women.
In addition, controlled substances; prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, or illegal drugs are all related to side effects that cause snoring, such as drying the sinuses and relaxing the tissues in the back of the throat and airway.
We also discussed the many problems that snoring may affect and cause, so now we need to dig deeper to discover the real harmful effects that snoring may have on a person’s health.
Why Snoring is so Bad?
The whole concept of snoring is a bit subverted; this is the biggest danger of snoring, and most people think it is harmless.
Snoring as a word seems harmless, this is a problem. The connotation of the word does not convey the true meaning of the action; when a person snores, their body is in a state of hypoxia, so they must breathe harder to forcibly open the airway.
43 | H o w t o S l e e p L i k e a B a b y E v e n i f Y o u H a v e S l e e p D e p r i v a t i o n
Simply put, snoring is a call for help in the dark, saying "I have no breath!"
Because of this common perception of snoring, people are beginning to suspect that snoring is a serious problem that can cause health risks and emotional problems.
This part of the book discusses the severity of snoring and the many problems associated with it. Most people ignore the fact that although snoring is common, it is not normal, unhealthy or unacceptable.
