It has never ceased to amaze me throughout my career that when the subject of snoring comes up in a crowd, everybody is rapt. It would appear that almost everybody has a profound interest in snoring because they are either directly affected by it or certainly know someone who is. Snoring is the bane of the bedroom for millions and millions of people making it very desirable to find a snoring cure.
Why is finding a snoring cure so important?
A recent scientific article reported at the American Academy of Sleep Medicine reported that the bed-mate to a snorer suffers poor quality sleep. This may sound obvious. However, bed-mates to snorers constantly attempt to “beat the system”. They will tell you that they go to bed earlier than their partner so that they can fall asleep before the snoring begins. This may happen but when the snorer arrives in bed, falls asleep and starts snoring, it partially arouses the bed mate as well as the snorer him/herself.
As it turns out, each stage of sleep plays a specific role in generating hormones that rejuvenate our bodies. Now for the urgency of finding a snoring cure. Snoring disrupts the brain’s ability to cycle through all of the stages of sleep. It not only continuously arouses the snorer, but also anybody who is sleeping with or within earshot of the snorer. Poor sleep results in daytime fatigue, irritability, memory loss, and a host of other conditions that demand a snoring cure.
Attempts at a snoring cure.
Dozens and dozens of strategies have been implemented in order to affect a snoring cure. Mechanical schemes such as nose clips, chin straps, tennis balls in the back of a pajama top have been endlessly recommended, yet failed. Surgeries designed to reduce the mass of the soft tissues that collapse into the airway (UPPP, LAUP, Pillar, Somnoplasty) have also been shown not to be effective long- term.
CPAP therapy where patients wear a mask attached to a blower is considered the gold standard as a snoring cure and treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. While CPAPs work well, they are bulky, uncomfortable and cosmetically imposing so patient compliance percentage is relatively low (approximately 40%).
A very viable approach to a snoring cure!
For select patients who suffer exclusively from snoring alone (not obstructive sleep apnea) the Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece appears to be a simple, inexpensive and efficacious snoring cure. It is a device that looks like a sports mouthguard but it positions the lower jaw in a forward position thus opening up the airway so as to prevent snoring. This, by definition, becomes a snoring cure.
