The 10 Most Powerful Regrets People Have at the End

We all have regrets in life. But from what I've seen, many of the regrets we have while living (career, money, decisions about where to live) are not the same ones we have when we're at the end of the road. Few to none have regrets about not making enough money, or spending too little time working on their careers. No, even the most successful rarely say anything like that. Instead, these are the 10 most common regrets held by people who are facing the end of their lives.

There is much to learn from their regrets, especially for us, those still alive who can change their path and live more the way they want to. Take these words to heart, and remember: don't leave those regrets hanging, deal with them today, because life is short.

Your Guide to Silencing Your Snoring Partner!

A snoring partner can keep you up all night and prevent you from having a good night's sleep. The number one cause of this irritating problem is a disorder called sleep apnea, which causes two problems. Firstly, it can cause sufferers to stop breathing altogether for short periods while they sleep.

Secondly, it can encourage their breathing to become much shallower than it typically would be when they are awake. Both issues result in the narrowing of the airways, which in turn leads to snoring. Most people don’t realize they have the condition because they are able to breathe normally during waking hours.

An estimated 12 million people in the USA have sleep apnea. If you think your partner might be suffering from the disorder, speak to a doctor and consider visiting a sleep clinic together. The condition is most commonly cured with a device called a continuous positive airway pressure ventilator, which pumps air into the mouth and nose with a mask.

If your partner doesn’t have sleep apnea, they are snoring for other reasons. The chart below can help you determine what kind of snorer they are and give you tips to help stop their snoring.
