4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative book! November 6, 2004

By Janet M. Bennett

Wake Up! You're Snoring presented an excellent review of the daytime consequences of snoring! Most people do not understand that those horrible symptoms they have are a result of not sleeping well. This book covers a lot about weight management and exercise. It suggests different treatments for sleep apnea which is the same information that every sleep book offers. This book did go into more detail about different surgeries that are available. Unfortunately, the mentioned treatments do not have a high rate of success. The last half of the book is a good resource for sleep centers.
