I ran home, didn’t even have a computer in the office at the time, and I just knew when I got on the internet that I was going to find that people had their snoring treated with some exercises. He said, and I run faster so that totally got my attention. I can concentrate better in school and making better grades and this is what really got me.

And I looked at Adam and I said, tell me more because I knew nothing about snoring. But anyway, so I was seeing him for that and he was going to be coming for seven lessons and he was with me on his third lesson and his mother came into the room and she said, Janet, what are you doing to Adam? And I said, well what do you mean? And she said, well, he has always been the loudest snorer in the world, the windows, and the doors just rattle. So there are several different things that can happen if you’re not swallowing correctly.

Now that’s when you swallow when your tongue pushes the back of your teeth and maybe you end up with buck teeth or maybe you swallow with your tongue coming out between your teeth and you have an open bite. But about 15 years ago, I was treating a 14-year-old football player for tongue thrust. And I don’t have sleep problems and I didn’t know anything about sleep problems actually. I have been in the business for more than 40 years and I have specialized in the treatment of tongue thrust for the past 25 years. Janet Bennett: Okay, well, I’m a speech pathologist. Richard Jacobs: How did you figure out a way to help people with their sleep? It probably means that you’ve had sleep issues or you’ve been around someone who’s had like what’s your background here? Bennett’s IJustWantToSleep® program is truly changing how people sleep and her tongue exercise program puts an end to snoring that is due to incorrect tongue position and mouth breathing. She explains the importance of nitric oxide that helps regulate and invigorate the body, and how it is produced by breathing through the nose, which is all the more reason to make sure we are nose breathing and not mouth breathing when we sleep.īennett states that an amazingly high number, 94%, of all people treated stopped snoring. As Bennett had been working with patients to relieve other problems and not snoring, this particular case was a remarkable moment for the seasoned speech pathologist, and afterward she began treating snoring sufferers with her unique techniques.īennett discusses mouth breathing, and she explains how tongue exercises can retrain your tongue to hold itself at the roof of your mouth, which enables us to breathe naturally through our nose. His grades were improving and his performance on the football field was improving as well.

In addition, he was more focused overall and in school. She talks about one of her early patients, a 14-year old football player who was surprised to discover that his treatment had ended his snoring. She talks about tongue thrust, and the many problems that it can potentially cause, such as buck teeth or an open bite, because it can make people swallow incorrectly. For over 40 years she’s been working in the rewarding field of speech pathology, and for the past 25 of those she’s been treating the problem of tongue thrust. In this informative podcast, Janet Bennett, successful Speech Pathologist and the founder of an innovative sleep program, I Just Want To Sleep, discusses the treatment of people who suffer from snoring and breathing issues.Īs a Speech Pathologist in private practice, Bennett is excited each and every day to come to work and help people improve their lives, and eliminate their suffering.
