Do you snore? I snore like a freight train. I think I have sleep apnea too which probably explains why I’m always exhausted in the morning. I had a sleep study once but the results were “inconclusive”. I never bothered to have another because it’s a real pain to try in sleep in a lab with wires all over you. My father who gave me this gift had tried many ways to solve his own snoring. He had a few surgeries. He also had an ultrasound treatment to melt the tissue of his upper palette which I also had done twice. Last year, he showed me a snore-guard that his dentist had fitted for him that finally stopped his snoring. It cost him around $500. The way it works is that it moves your lower jaw slightly forward so your palette doesn’t relax down into your throat.
Maybe you’ve seen the ad on tv for the Pure Sleep device. It’s just like the device my father uses except it’s only $59.90, self fitted, and works fantastic. I don’t snore and feel completely rested in the morning. The only drawback is that it slightly and temporarily changes your bite when you first wake up. Eventually your bite comes back to normal. They tell you this in the brochure. It’s also a little tricky to fit. You have to heat it up in boiling water. I tried to use a slotted spoon but it just floated right off the spoon and down to the bottom slightly melting the edges. I don’t think it was supposed to touch the sides of the pot at all. It still seemed to work ok though. I’ll probably order another one one day and try again to get a better fit.
If you know someone who snores, I would definitely try it out.
