February 2, 2009 on 11:33 am | In Stop Snoring Devices | No CommentsSnoring can be a real nuisance, but it doesn’t have to be if you find the right snoring solution. There are many different treatments for snoring on the market today. What are the best anti snoring devices and how do they work? In this article we will look at the top stop snoring aids, explain how they work and look at their effectiveness.
Stop Snoring Pillow
These are considered my many to be the top stop snoring devices on the market. In this category one of the most popular is the Snore-No-More Pillow. It was actually designed by a doctor to Reduce snoring and pppromote a more restful sleep. It has been featured on CBS News.
It is designed to improve breathing by keeping the chin away from the chest, the jaw forward, and the airway open. The Snore-No-More Anti Snoring Pillow supports and positions the head and neck to improve alignment, whether sleeping on the side, back or stomach. It is made of hypoallergenic premium foam so the Anti Snoring Pillow will not harbor mildew.
The Snore-No-More Anti-Snoring Pillow was featured in Woman’s World Magazine, September 2008 as the best pillow to "Put a Stop to Snoring." Amy Blanchard, M.D., associate professor of medicine at Georgia’s MCG Sleep Disorders Center, keeps her patients’ snoring at bay with this pillow. "It’s contoured to keep your chin at the right angle relative to your chest, so your airways stay open," she says. "Pillows that help alleviate snoring have been on the market only a year or so, and some can cost up to $100, but this pillow does the job at a better price."
Stop Snoring Spray
There are a number of stop snoring sprays on the market. A product called SNORenz was the original snoring relief spray on the market in 1996 and is still considered by many to be the top solution in this category. The company does have pretty substantial clinical proof on how effective their product has been for millions of users over more than a decade.
SNORenz is a clinically tested, all natural product that relies on a spray delivery system that lubricates the tissues where the snoring occurs, resulting in the reduction of snoring for most users. SNORenz is also alcohol free. That is important because alcohol is a known contributor to snoring.
Stop Snoring Mouth Guard
Although these devices are said to take some getting used to and can me not too comfortable at first-they do work for many sufferers of snoring.
The Snore Guard is considered by many to be the most effective in this category. According to published studies, it is said to be 95% effective in the treatment of snoring.
Here is the idea behind it and how it works: When you are sitting or standing upright your air passage is fully open. But when you recline the muscles around the lower jaw, soft palate, tonsils and uvula relax. The tongue falls back and can often obstruct the air way. As you breathe the vibrations going through this restricted air way are the noise we hear as snoring. This mouth guard keeps the jaw in the same position as it is when you are not reclined and the air way is kept more open.
Stop Snoring Chin Strap
This product probably has more mixed reviews that any of the other anti-snoring devices on the market. Upon doing more research you will find the reviews on its effectiveness are quite mixed. But there are some snoring sufferers that are very happy with this type of a product.
The way the stop snoring chin strap works is quite simple-it helps keep the mouth shut during sleeping. Recognizing that snoring is generally caused by restricted air passing through the back of the throat, if the mouth is closed then the breathing takes place sole through the nose. It is definitely the most inexpensive of all the other stop snoring aides on the market-but its effectiveness is mixed.

Because there are so many possible sources of snoring, it is crucial for you to discover the correct cause in order to use the right anti snoring devices to aid in obtaining a good night’s sleep. This will relieve anybody who has had to deal with snoring, both you and your loved ones, when you find an answer to your problem.
If you know that your mouth is causing your snoring there are anti-snoring devices you can insert to alleviate the problem by keeping your airway open while you sleep. Your doctor can help you decide which device will work best for you. Another way you can solve your snoring problem is by undergoing a corrective surgery which eliminates vibration by scarring the soft palate tissue in your mouth.
There are many anti snoring devices that open up the nasal passages to stop the snoring. This may be a good solution if your snoring problem comes from the nasal passages, but not all snoring comes from this. You should always check with your doctor before trying any of these anti snoring devices or methods. If your snoring problem does not come from your nasal passages, you wouldn’t want to waste your time and money on these methods.
A trip to the doctor to try to figure out what’s causing the snoring should be your first order of business. There may be a very simple answer to the problem, or you may have a serious medical issue. Sleep apnea is potentially quite dangerous with snoring as just one of its symptoms. The doctor may prescribe a particular treatment if the sleep apnea is indeed causing your snoring.
Inadequate sleep is known to cause poor health and may necessitate medical attention. Even if you sleep long enough, if you snore at night it is likely that you are getting poor sleep, not to mention disturbing the sleep of those near you. Using an effective anti-snoring device will help to alleviate snoring and provide better sleep.
Snoring can affect many people who are overweight. There are many ways to prevent this problem. Alcohol use is one of the main causes of snoring. By simply exercising, not drinking alcohol before bed, and sleeping in different positions you can reduce the chance of snoring.
Remember: if you don’t get sufficient rest at night, you’re risking drowsiness during waking hours and having an accident from being tired. If you’ve tried everything check out anti-snoring devices for a potential solution to the problem, but most importantly, see your doctor.

January 30, 2009 on 8:53 am | In Stop Snoring Devices | No CommentsIf you have ever slept with a heavy snorer you will know how this can affect a relationship. A snorer’s partner will regularly search for answers to the problem, much more than the snorer themselves until they admit they have a problem that needs tackling. One of the suggested aids to ease snoring is a stop snoring pillow.
Snoring is more common in men, but as we age it becomes more likely in all men and women. Other factors known to increase snoring include drug use, alcohol, smoking and the way we sleep. People who often snore constantly tend to sleep on their backs, and to get them to change position for longer than five minutes can be impossible. This is where a stop snoring pillow may help.
As a first option, a stop snoring pillow could prove useful particularly for those who don’t like taking pills, inserting devices, using sprays or the thought of having surgery. One type of pillow is placed behind the snorer’s back to stop them sleeping on their backs but more recent ones tend to align the neck, spinal column and head to reduce any breathing obstruction. Some of the stop snoring pillows also vibrate to encourage a change in sleeping position. These have audio detectors that respond to snoring by vibration of varying intensities until, hopefully, the snoring stops. A few of these even have an external audio jack so the snoring can be recorded!
Added benefits of stop snoring pillows can occur because of their orthopaedic design. Such benefits include headache and migraine pain relief and the promotion of a correct posture. So not only can stop snoring pillows reduce, and in some cases eliminate snoring, in doing so, they may also improve your relationship with a partner, allow you to wake-up refreshed in the morning and give you a new quality of life away from the worry of waking everyone else up! A useful addition to these pillows is to follow a set of specific exercises that are designed to help stop snoring quickly.

January 30, 2009 on 8:53 am | In Stop Snoring Devices | No CommentsWill A Stop Snoring Mouthpiece Help Stop Snoring?
If you are a heavy snorer you are unlikely to be popular if you ever have to share a bedroom! Until you realize that you have a problem, you are unlikely to try and do anything about it. A stop snoring mouthpiece is just one of your options depending on what type of snorer you are.
Firstly, you need to ascertain what causes you to snore. For example, are you a ‘tongue based snorer’ where your tongue slips back and obstructs the airway or perhaps a ‘mouth breather’ where the air being sucked in can create a lot of vibration; which may, or may not be because of an abnormality in the construction of the nasal passages or small nostrils that would force you to breath through the mouth. Stop snoring mouthpieces are one option that may work if vibration is the problem.
A stop snoring mouthpiece needs to be initially fitted/moulded to your mouth and when worn, it acts by keeping the mouth and tongue in the correct position and stopping the vibration. There are two types of stop snoring mouthpieces, one you can mould to fit yourself and the other has to be fitted by a dentist. This ‘mandibular advancement device’ actually moves the jaw and tongue forward by between 0 and 12mm (depending on the specific device), raising the soft palate and thus preventing any blockage of the airways that could lead to snoring.
Be aware of potential problems should you have false teeth, gum disease or any mandibular joint dysfunction in which case you should take professional advice. Other things to watch out for when buying a self-fit device is whether or not any sideways movement is, and/or the ease of any possible mouth breathing as this is not possible with some stop snoring devices.
Stop snoring mouthpieces are just one option and there are other possibilities such as anti-snoring pillows, nasal and throat sprays, other medications and exercises, or perhaps changes to the diet before you even have to consider surgery.
The remedy that works for the individual will differ according to how and why you snore. It is perhaps wise to consult a medical practitioner before you start buying any products. If you don’t like the thought of putting a stop snoring mouthpiece device into your mouth all night, why not think about one of the anti-snoring pillows or another option your are invited to consider is the use of specific exercises.
