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

• Home of former Peruvian restaurant, gun store going up for auction in Lyon Park (arlnow.com) — A Lyon Park retail condo that once housed El Fuego and Nova Armory is headed to virtual auction, while Nova Armory’s newer location sits on Wilson Blvd in Clarendon. The 1,778-square-foot space could host one or two tenants, and the auction closing later this month may reshape nearby retail options for Clarendon-area residents. 
• Proposal calls for more concentrated upgrades to Arlington bike corridors (arlnow.com) — Bike planners are eyeing Clarendon Blvd and Fairfax Drive for concentrated safety and connectivity upgrades, which could directly affect how you bike through central Arlington. A new analysis suggests focusing investments on a handful of key corridors, and county advisory groups are now reviewing a broader transportation plan that could shape future improvements.
