POPSSleep Apnea and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome I am kicking myself for not keeping up to date with the research on PCOS. Since I have it, I would have known to look sooner for sleep apnea. Since getting the CPAP machine, I have so much more energy.

POPSWhy TORTURE your BABIES? Male Mutilation!
"It to be a brutal, painful and inhumane act. Parents do not have the right to make such an alteration to any child's body, male or female. That is something for them to decide when they are older. We are merely the guardian/custodian of our child's body, not its owner. A circumcision takes anywhere from 12 - 20 minutes, and 1/3 to 1/2 of TOTAL penile skin is removed. There is also considerable evidence that babies experience extreme pain and stress during a circumcision which, unfortunately, is performed the majority of the time without any anesthesia whatsoever.

It is likely this has been happening for a long time, but it was difficult to diagnose because: 1) My snoring was mild enough that it was rarely mentioned by others. For example, my husband also has apnea, but he was a very loud snorer and he constantly gasped in his sleep. I, on the other hand, was not observed gasping and he barely noticed me snoring. 2) I had virtually no memory of being awakened throughout the night, and I rarely need to get up to go to the bathroom during sleep (1-2x a week). 3) The obvious symptoms like chronic fatigue/sleepiness, low mood, memory and concentration problems--well--they could be explained by major depression, a diagnosis I have carried for years.

POPSStifle out snoring Braces again at 45+ years!! What a thought. On a more serious note, sleep apnea contributes to our national health costs with clinics at all the major hospitals. While statistics show there are more than 300 devices registered as cures for snoring.

POPSIncrease Serotonin Levels With 5HTP This is a great supplement that I recommend a lot. As with pretty much every substance, it doesn't work for everyone. But I've known a lot of people who have done well with it. It's certainly cheaper than prescription drugs.
