In America, about 25% of the citizens snore regularly, and about 75% of the citizens occasionally snore, i.e., when they get too tired or suffer from a cold or cough, they snore. In this article, the readers will get to know some of the well-known anti-snoring devices available online or in convenience stores in America.
How do the devices help in improving snoring?
These devices are used either in the mouth or in the nostrils to prevent snoring caused due to vibrations because of the movement of the base tongue located at the entrance of the esophagus. The nostrils are wide open for the good passage of air through the nose to prevent you from snoring.
What are the causes of snoring?
- Gender- the practice of snoring is standard among the male gender. Males deal with more mental and physical pressure, and when the node inside the throat gets enlarged, this might obstruct the free flow of air through the mouth.
- Obesity– Being overweight more than expected can pressure the heart and lungs as the more weight you need to breathe in air obstructs your breathing.
- Having a narrow nasal passageway- small nostril holes, large tonsils, etc. can narrow your airway both in the nose and mouth and increase the tendency to snore.
The various devices used to reduce snoring are-
- Nasal stent- similar to nasal dilators used primarily when there is a partial or total upper airway collapse during sleep. This is a silicon-based tube that needs to insert inside the nostrils.
- Septal stimulator- used chiefly by sports, especially sprinters, runners, or swimmers. These stimulators inserted inside the nasal holes improve breathing, increase stamina, etc.
- Humidifier- effective for those who are suffering from dry sinuses. This is used when there is dry indoor air. They help to clear the air making it more breathable.
- Positioning device- help you sleep sideways so that you don’t sleep on your back or the stomach, preventing you snore by opening up your nasal holes more to help you breathe freely.
- Inflatable snoring device placed under a pillow- a sleeping device with a sensor attached to it. When you start to snore, the device will automatically inflate with air giving your pillow a new position.
To conclude, the above-mentioned is well-known in the market.
