Do Anti Snoring Devices Work

Snoring is more than just an annoying habit, regardless of how it's sometimes humorously portrayed in the movies and on television. Unfortunately some relationships have even ended due to one partner's snoring! But before you visit the divorce lawyer, you might want to consider the most effective anti snoring devices that are available today and that might provide a measure of relief.

Most anti snoring devices address the dryness of the throat that causes the sound called snoring. If you breathe through your mouth when you're awake, your throat is coated and doesn't make that rattling sound. But if you sleep with your mouth open the throat tissue of course gets dry and then the air passing over it when you breathe makes you snore. Some simple anti snoring devices that address this might be a good snore pillow which cradles the head and neck and keeps the mouth from falling open. This means the throat won't get dry and you'll be less likely to breathe through your mouth. While some anti snoring devices have been recommended to keep a person from sleeping on their back, these were usually abandoned because they were terribly uncomfortable. Yes, rolling onto a tennis ball sewn into your pajama's waistband might make you roll back onto your side but will probably also cause you some pain as well! So some new products are designed like pillows to cradle you on your side.

Other anti snoring devices that keep the throat coated include simple drops and sprays, or even a good humidifier in the bedroom. These work by keeping the throat moist eve if the mouth does happen to open.

Nasal strips are typically available at your local pharmacy and work to pull the outside of the nose out a bit, to keep the airway clear. There are also anti snoring devices prescribed by your doctor. A mouth guard can keep the jaw pushed forward and in proper alignment so you're less likely to breathe through your mouth. Most of these types of anti snoring devices are very effective for those who try them and offer a good measure of relief. So if you're suffering from snoring, either yours or your bedmate's, why not give them a try? You may find that you can finally sleep through the night without being bothered by snoring!

There are other anti-snoring devices one could try are the Silencer (which fits on your upper and lower teeth, and holds your jaw forward), the Silent Partner ASD (this positions your lower jaw a little forward), or even the SnorBan US, this costs much less, and is a mouth guard that you can fit yourself.
