If you’ve been married to the world’s loudest snorerfor nearly four  decades, you’re either a saint or you’re deaf.

Julie Switzer is a little of both.

On July 4, the 61-year-old British homemaker willcelebrate her 40th  anniversary with her husband Mel, a cab driver whose snoringhas been measured at  92.5 decibels—louder than a police siren.

Until he found a treatment, flight attendants wouldask him not to  sleep on planes. Eight of his neighbors sold their homes in one10-year period.  Only his wife stood by his side.

“My wife and I love ach other,” he says. “And she isdeaf in one  ear.”

Julie’s condition had no connection to her husband’sstrident snoozing  (打盹儿). But even with diminished hearing, shefound  it hard to sleep—and though to get up each day to get their two boys offto  school. “I just thought most men sound like a electric saw in the bedroom,”she  says.

After two decades of sleeplessness, Julie entered Melin a local  contest, sponsored by a British newspaper in 1984, to find theloudest snoring  husband in the United Kingdom. Until then, Mel had not realizedthe scope of his  snore.

The contest turned out to be the best thing she everdid. In one brave  stroke, Julie turned her husband into an international celebrityof sorts.  Suddenly, she and Mel were flying to Japan, so that doctors couldmeasure his  snoring on national TV.

“I guess there are better reasons to be famous,” Melsays. “But if  people are sending you to Tokyo, why fight it?”

The folks at Guinness were quick to certify him, andall the attention  brought hundreds of would-be remedies—including one thatfinally  worked.

About four years ago, New York entrepreneur RobertRoss gave Mel a  Chinese herbal concoction that he now markets throughout North America as  Y-snore.

Y-snore changed the Switzers’ life. Just a few dropsin the nose and  Mel is silent as a lamb. Finally, a peaceful night for hiswife.

Geniuses look at  problems in many different ways. Genius often comes fromfinding a new  perspective that no one else has taken. Leonardo Da Vincibelieved that, to gain  knowledge about the form of a problem, you begin bylearning how to restructure  it in many different ways. He felt that the firstway he looked at a problem by  looking at it from on perspective and move toanother perspective and still  another. (1) With each move, his  understandingwould deepen and he would begin to understand the essence of the  problem.

Geniuses make novel combinations. Like the highlyplayful child with a  bucket of building blocks, a genius is constantlycombining and recombining  ideas, images, and thoughts into differentcombinations in their conscious and  subconscious minds. Consider Einstein’sequation, E=mc². Einstein did  not invent the concepts of energy,mass, or speed of light. (2) Rather, by combining these concepts in a  novelway, he was able to look at the same world as everyone else and see  somethingdifferent.
