POPSGreen tea may help snorers sleep easy One of my biggest problems is that my dog Lani snores. She doesn't like tea. I like green tea with Jasmine. I'm going to make a cup when I've posted this. It's that time of day. The chemicals in green tea may protect the snorers from damage caused by free radicals that are in excess as a result of sleep apnoea, but they still can't help anyone who is listening. These catechin polyphenols help sufferers, and no doubt victims of oxygen deprivation. A compound using them as an active ingredient may also be used as part of the first aid kits that assist CPR, in drowning and heart attack victims. I don't know if that's on the agenda, but the quicker an overload of free radicals can be neutralized, the better. It may in many cases reduce some of the serious brain damage in survivors. (You'd have to check that with a pharmacologist)

POPSSleep Apnea and Intermittent Low Oxygen Having recently learned that I have an atypical but severe case of sleep apnea, I am doing a little research. Basically, I learned that I was waking up 72 times an hour during sleep, in order to catch my breath. 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.

POPSScientists explore Queen Bee longevity There are implications here (for other species) in the sense that this is an organism that is reproductively active and long-lived. But recent research reveals an unexplained decline in the honey bee population world-wide.
