How To!: Stop Snoring and Breathe Easier (Encore)
Andrew snores so badly that his cats won\u2019t sleep in the same room as him. He\u2019s desperate to sleep better at night, and breathe more easily during the day. On this episode of How To!, we bring on James Nestor, author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, to share the history of why we breathe the way we do. Turns out being a \u201cmouth-breather\u201d is more than just an insult, it\u2019s harmful to our health. James gives Andrew some nasal breathing exercises to improve his snoring, anxiety, and overall wellness.\nIf you liked this episode, check out \u201cHow To Sleep.\u201d\nDo you have a problem you can\u2019t get out of your head?
