My dog snores like a truck driver! How do I keep her from snoring all the time?

Question by Penelope: My dog snores like a truck driver! How do I keep her from snoring all the time?
It used to be when my dog was a little puppy she would snore once in a while. But now she snores all the time. She is around 7 yrs. old now and she snores so loudly she can wake up the family upstairs. Sometimes I laugh, but sometimes I have to go pat her lightly to waken her so she will stop. It only lasts for about 20 minutes then she is back to sounding like a high powered buzz saw.

Try repositioning her to lay on her stomach, if you can.

How to keep a neutral larynx?

Question by danielley: How to keep a neutral larynx?
I can't find a solid answer anywhere, how can I keep my larynx neutral when I sing? I heard that if you have a neutral larynx your voice has more power and I want that. I've heard all the "hold one finger right above the larynx" but that doesnt stop it from moving. Is there a technique or excersizes I can use?? And please dont just say practice. You can't practice if you don't know how.

Answer by Cheryl allison
I have a degree in Laryngeal Biomechanics, a degree in the Physics of sound and I've been singing for 40 years and a teacher of voice for 20 years and I have never heard of the term "Neutral Larynx". I think in biological terms they mean Laryngeal release..releasing the muscles of the larynx. The larynx moves even when you snore. A laryngeal release - will ensure a clear passageway for air and frequency. So here's how you can practice so that you know how. The most common cause of a tense larynx and vocal muscle is the pulling up of your stomach muscles and belly. Let your belly be floppy and into the left hip and thigh muscle while singing unless your singing at the very end of your high register. A floppy belly will release your tongue muscle and and therefore your larynx. Remember the root of your tongue is joined to your larynx. Release the tongue and bingo! no tension-laryngeal release and a lot more projection. A high note to project means you have to learn another technique which is called "closed Velarport. Whole new technique but I hope I have helped you so that you can get into your practice and improve.

Why do I keep having nightmares when I sleep on the couch?

Question by WannaHelp: Why do I keep having nightmares when I sleep on the couch?
I'm married but I'm used to not sleeping next to my husband. He works third and when he is home to sleep he's usually snoring or tossing and turning so I usually sleep on the couch. But this past month whenever I do sleep there instead of the bed I have nightmares. Even if I'm just there for a nap. It never happens when I'm in my actual bed, just when I'm on the couch. Can someone help figure this dilemma out?

Are there any good products that can keep a person from snoring?

Question by jen: Are there any good products that can keep a person from snoring?
My boyfriend snores so loudly that I cannot sleep through the night. He doesnt want to use the nose strips that are supposed to open things up. Are there any pills/sprays that actaully work?

Tell him to sleep in another room, j/k. Try rolling him over when he starts snoring, I read online that snores are caused by a person having the incorrect posture and bending the air ways, so try to straighten him out or at least his neck to where his air ways are straight.
