Sponsored: New Approach to Snoring Support
For many people with mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring, treatment options often involve wearing a device during sleep. eXciteOSA® by Spring Sleep takes a different approach. Used for just 20 minutes a day while awake, it is designed to strengthen tongue muscles associated with maintaining upper airway function. Because therapy is completed during the day, there is no device to wear overnight, making bedtime as simple as getting comfortable and going to sleep. Fill out the Questionnaire to see if eXciteOSA from Spring Sleep is right for you

📰 News we're reading
• Military training exercises return to Piscataway despite mayor's objections (news12.com) — Military training exercises are taking place this week at two Piscataway sites on Hoes Lane and Centennial Avenue, prompting concerns from Mayor Brian Wahler about noise, zoning violations, and resident disruption. The township plans legal action against property owners, arguing the drills don’t belong next to residential areas, while state police will monitor the training perimeters through Friday’s scheduled end. 
• Edison looks for bounceback year with key returnees on tap (cjsportsradio.com) — Edison High’s football team is aiming to rebound from a 2–8 season, pointing to several close early losses, including a tight fourth-quarter game against Piscataway, as learning experiences. With key players like senior playmaker Shaun Garland returning and a tough schedule ahead, coaches emphasize cutting mistakes and building depth to turn narrow defeats into wins.
