Problem: Article: If the sleep study confirms you have sleep apnea, the doctor will document the diagnosis, and you will have your official record of a positive diagnosis of sleep apnea. Follow your doctor's instructions for treating your sleep apnea. Your doctor may prescribe either a continuous positive airway pressure or bilevel positive airway pressure (CPAP or BiPAP), device to help regulate your breathing. You will need to wear this device every night to help regulate your breathing while you sleep. Your doctor may also make other recommendations about your lifestyle that may eliminate or at least lessen the symptoms of your sleep apnea. It is very important that you follow the instructions and use the CPAP or BiPAP machine every night or at least five nights out of the week. The C-PAP is not only to help treat your diagnosis, but to ease the symptoms and suffering caused by this serious condition. It is vitally important not to ignore symptoms of sleep apnea and seek confirmation and treatment. If left untreated, the symptoms become worse, and the risk of developing additional serious physical ailments increase, and the higher the chances of putting your physical health and well-being at risk. If left untreated long enough, it can be even be fatal. Be assured that sleep apnea is easily treatable, and with proper diet and exercise in addition to the disciplined use of the CPAP machine, your symptoms and suffering will begin to lesson, more and more. Within a year, it is very possible you may be symptom-free and healed of the disorder. Your doctor will re-test you at the end of the treatment period to determine if the disorder is still present, and the majority of cases where treatment was followed consistently, the test will confirm you no longer suffer from sleep apnea. Since excess weight may be the cause of your sleep apnea, losing even a little weight may help to treat your sleep apnea. Make sure that you seek your doctor's advice before beginning a weight loss program and follow your doctor's recommendations for healthy weight loss. Obstructive sleep apnea symptoms may improve by getting 30 minutes of moderate activity each day. Try walking at a comfortable pace for 30 minutes per day to start and slowly increase your activity level as tolerated. These chemicals interfere with your breathing patterns by relaxing your throat. By decreasing or eliminating your intake of these chemicals, you may see an improvement in your sleep apnea symptoms. Make sure that you talk to your doctor before stopping any prescription medications. Smoking increases fluid retention in your throat and upper airways and increases inflammation in the same areas. These effects can make obstructive sleep apnea much worse. Talk to your doctor to get help as well as information on smoking cessation programs in your area. Sleeping on your side or stomach will lessen or eliminate the symptoms of sleep apnea. When you sleep on your back, your tongue and soft palate are more likely to block your airway and cause sleep apneas. Try placing pillows behind you or sew a tennis ball into the back of your pajama top to prevent yourself from rolling over onto your back. For some people, using a nasal spray or allergy medicine can help keep your nasal passages open at night, allowing you breathe more easily. Talk with your doctor about whether this is a good option for you.
Summary: Start immediate treatment and plan for the future. Lose weight if you are overweight. Exercise every day for at least 30 minutes. Decrease alcohol, sleeping pills, and sedative intake. Quit smoking if you are a smoker. Sleep on your side or stomach instead of sleeping on your back. Talk to your doctor about nasal sprays and allergy medicines.

Problem: Article: Jewelry should not be flashy or make noises when you move. For this reason, you should not wear a column of bracelets that jangle against each other as you move your arm. You should also remove loose change from your pockets. Anything that makes a loud noise as you walk should be removed. The less jewelry you wear, the better. Other than a watch and a wedding ring, you probably don't need to wear any other piece of jewelry. Take out nose rings or any other studs that you had implanted on your face. Anything that you got because it was "edgy" or "different" will work against you in court. If you can't remove earrings, try to cover your ears with your hair. You can use a piercing filler for any piercings. Cover up tattoos with clothing. A long-sleeved shirt can cover arm tattoos, and long pants will cover leg tattoos. If you have a tattoo on your face or neck, then use makeup to conceal it. You should not wear a hat in the courtroom; it is considered disrespectful. If, for religious reasons, you wear a headscarf, turban, kippah or other headgear, then that should be fine. However, courts are undecided whether or not you can wear a full-face veil if you need to testify to the judge. You should consult with a lawyer if you wear a veil. Also remove sunglasses when you enter the courtroom unless there are medical reasons that you need to wear them. If you do need to wear dark glasses for medical reasons, try to bring a note from a doctor to that effect. Do not bring into the courtroom anything that can beep or ring. Check your watch to make sure it does not make a noise at a certain time. Because you want to avoid giving the judge a reason for disliking you, then you should not wear anything that shows your political leanings or other affiliations. Avoid political buttons, college rings, and religious symbols if possible.
Summary: Avoid loud or large jewelry. Cover tattoos and piercings. Remove your hat. Leave cell phones in your car. Do not signal your political affiliation.

Problem: Article: You can do this by lightly coating it with a nonstick cooking spray or by covering it with parchment paper. You can do this using an electric mixer or a food processor fitted with whisks. You can also do it by hand using a whisk, but it will take much longer. Keep mixing until the sugar is mixed evenly throughout the butter. If you are vegan, you can use "vegan butter" instead. If the butter is too hard, let it sit at room temperature until it softens, or microwave it for about 45 seconds (depending on the strength of your microwave). Do not melt the butter. Keep mixing until everything is evenly combined. If you are vegan, you can use a non-dairy milk instead, such as almond or soy. Mixing the dry ingredients separately will ensure that everything mixes evenly together later on. Eventually, the ingredients will start to clump together to form a dough. If you are using a whisk, you might find it helpful to switch to a rubber spatula. If the flour is too sticky, add up to 3 tablespoons (22.5 grams) of flour. All that mixing and whisking likely made the dough very soft and sticky. This will make it hard to work with when you roll it out. Wrap the dough up with plastic wrap, then stick it in the fridge until it hardens by up again, about 30 minutes. You can also use a tablespoon or an ice cream scoop to make the balls. You have enough dough to make 12 of them. Do not roll the dough out into a flat sheet and cut out shapes using cookie cutters; this is the wrong type of dough for that type of cookie. You want the balls to be about to -inch (1.27 to 1.7 centimeters) thick. They will continue to flatten and spread as they are baking. A simple way to do this is to fill a shallow dish with 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of sugar, and then pressing one side of each cookie into it. Do not coat both sides of the cookies. Also, make sure that there are a few inches/centimeters of space between each cookie; if the cookies are too close, they will mush together. For a more colorful cookie, use colored sugar or nonpareil sprinkles. The cookies are ready when the edges turn a light, golden color. Be sure to use a spatula to transfer the cookies so that you don't burn yourself or break them. Once the cookies are completely cool, you can frost them or serve them as they are.
Summary:
Preheat your oven to 350F (280C) and prepare your baking sheet. Beat the butter until it becomes light and fluffy, then mix in the sugar. Whisk the vanilla extract and milk into the butter mixture. Whisk together the salt, flour, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, and stir until evenly combined. Chill the dough for 30 minutes in the fridge. Roll the dough into small balls. Flatten the balls a little using your palm or the bottom of a glass. Coat the cookies with sugar, then transfer them to a baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
