INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Raising the head 4 inches (10cm) with 1 to 2 pillows can make it easier to breathe and encourage the tongue and jaw to move forward. You can buy specially designed pillows to keep the neck muscles relaxed and open, leading to a reduction or elimination of snoring when sleeping. Keep in mind it can be difficult for someone who snores to not move or shift throughout the night, which could lead to moving off the pillows or falling back into a position that could lead to snoring. You can counter this by having the snorer put tennis balls in the back of their night clothes or using a snore pillow. This will cause mild discomfort when rolling over or moving around at night and can prevent the snorer from shifting in their sleep. Dry air can irritate your nose and throat and lead to congestion and snoring at night. If the person who snores has issues with swollen nasal tissues, it can help to sleep with a humidifier on. Keeping the air moist throughout the night can help ensure better, snore-free sleep. Some couples, families, and roommates decide it might be best to have separate bedrooms for sleeping, especially if the snoring is a chronic issue. It can be difficult, especially for couples, to sleep in separate rooms if one person feels guilty or resentful due to interrupted sleep. Take the time to talk to the snorer about this possibility. Explain that your sleep is lacking due to the person's snoring and you feel it would be best for your sleep routine and your relationship if you slept in separate rooms. Snoring is a physical issue that is the result of other issues or ailments. It is in the hands of any adult who snores to find a solution, medical or otherwise, for their snoring. However, if none of the solutions seem to work, separate bedrooms may be your only option if the issue is with an adult. If you're a parent with a child who snores, they will need your help to stop snoring.

SUMMARY: Use pillows to elevate the sleeper's head. Keep the bedroom moist with a humidifier. Consider separate bedrooms if the snoring is too loud.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you want to be a valedictorian, then you have to study smart to get good grades. This doesn't mean that you should spend all of your waking hours perched over your book, but it does mean that you should study as efficiently and thoroughly as possible. Here are some tips to get you studying hard: Make an efficient study schedule. Maybe you will spend 2-3 hours of studying a night, or maybe you will study for 3-4 hours every other night. Whatever you do, make a plan in advance so you don't end up getting overwhelmed or procrastinate. Pace yourself. Set a goal -- 10-15 pages per day, and don't go overboard too much or you'll burn out. Take advantage of practice quizzes. Your history books, math textbooks, or other course material may come with practice questions that you can use to see how well you know the course materials. Even if your teacher doesn't use these resources, they can be valuable to you. Make flashcards. If flashcards help you memorize historical concepts, foreign languages, or even mathematical operations, use them. You don't have to be the teacher's pet to be stellar in the classroom. You should, however, arrive to class on time, participate in class discussion, and ask questions when you're confused about something. Being focused in the classroom will help you absorb the course information more, which will lead you to do better on tests, and it will also make your teacher like you more and will help you earn any in-class points allotted for the course, such as participation points. Keep your chatter with other students to a minimum. You may be missing some important information. Take stellar notes to study from. Don't just write down what the teacher is saying word for word -- try to put the notes in your own words so you really absorb the material. Talk to your teacher after class occasionally. You don't have to annoy your teacher by always being there, but getting to know your teachers a bit more will help you stand out in their eyes. If you want to succeed in the classroom and throughout your studies, then you have to be organized. You need to have a notebook for every class, clearly labeled binders, a clean locker, and an organized desk at home. If your life is filled with clutter, then you won't be able to retain information as easily and you won't have as much to focus on your coursework as you'd want. Keep a planner where you write down all of the homework due each day. Keep a calendar over your desk where you can mark important test dates. Reading ahead to the material that your teacher will cover the next day or next week will give you a leg up on the course content and will keep you from getting confused or not absorbing as much information as you could. As long as you're not covering anything too difficult that would be easier to comprehend if it were first explained by your teacher, you'll be giving yourself a leg up by doing this. Reading ahead is a great way to give yourself an edge. Just don't bring it up when you participate in class or the teacher may get annoyed that you're stealing her thunder or confusing other students with additional information. You may be thinking, "If I'm trying to be the valedictorian, then why would I need extra help?" This is where you're precisely wrong. If you want to be the valedictorian, then you have to get an edge over the competition. Get more information or more repetition of the subject matter, whether you ask your teacher for extra help after class, ask your parents for more help if they understand your homework better than you do, or even ask an older successful student for some assistance. You can also invest in a private tutor, but those can get pretty pricey.

SUMMARY: Study smart. Stand out in the classroom. Get organized. Read ahead. Get extra help.
