Durban INSOMNIA
*******************
Insomnia - The various passages cited above prove and illustrate that no author
has written so feelingly, so appreciatingly, as Shakespeare on the subject of
sleep and its loss.
The diligent commentators on his works have investigated laboriously the sources
from which he drew his plots and many of the very lines of his poems. He was a
great borrower; absorbing, digesting, and making his own much of the material of
his predecessors. But it is a noteworthy fact, that none of the exquisite lines
in praise of sleep--that gift which the Psalmist says the Lord giveth to his
beloved--can be traced to other source than the master. These are jewels of his
own; transcripts from his own mournful experience. In middle life he remembered
hopelessly
the tranquil sleep of his lost youth, as
"He that is stricken blind cannot forget
The precious treasure of his eyesight lost."
He had suffered from insomnia, and he writes of this, not "as imagination bodies
forth the forms of things _unknown_, " but as one who, in words burning with
indestructible life, lays open to us the
sombre record of what was experience before it was song; who makes us the
sharers of his griefs; who would awaken in the similarly afflicted of all time
that compassionate sympathy which goes out to those whose burdens are almost
greater than they can bear.

Durban - Insomnia Comment
Snoring solutions
In a survey by the British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association, 54% of
people have had their holidays adversely affected by snoring and 20% have
been banished to the bathroom because of the noise.
It is not only an embarrassment for sufferers but a test of endurance for
family and friends.
What is snoring?
Snoring affects around 3.5 million people in the UK. It is an anatomy
problem involving the soft tissue at the back of the throat and causes the
emission of sound from the airway during sleep.
What causes snoring?
Snoring occurs when the soft palate tissue at the back of the throat relaxes
too much, obstructing the entrance to the throat. As air tries to pass
through, the soft palate vibrates and produces the snoring sound.
The problem may get worse with age but one of the main causes is size and
body shape. People with short wide necks are most prone to snoring because
the muscles around their windpipe can't support the fat around it when the
person is asleep. As a general rule, anyone with a collar size of 16.5
inches or more is likely to snore.
