Didgeridoo

<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051223/hl_nm/didgeridoo_dc">Want to stop snoring? Try the didgeridoo</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>Researchers in Switzerland examined 25 patients who suffered from snoring and moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, both common sleep disorders.<br />n<br />nHalf the group were given daily lessons in playing the didgeridoo, a wind instrument about 1.5 meters (yards) long which originated in northern Australia and is traditionally made from the trunk of a tree hollowed out by termites.<br />n<br />nThe study, published in the British Medical Journal's online edition on Friday, found that those who played the unusual instrument over a four-month trial period saw a significant improvement in their daytime sleepiness and apnea.<br />n<br />nTheir partners also reported less disturbance from snoring.</blockquote><br />n<br />nIf My Darling Wife sees this I have a good idea what she will get me for Christmas. I 'm not real sure I want to learn how to play the didgeridoo though. If I make her listen to me play she might not like the idea though. That might be how I get out of it.<br />n<br />n<b>My wife says I'm making a noise like a stranded whale. I think I have a major snoring problem. Rex Hunt</b>
