Here’s a little secret:

This little gizmo called the “snore stopper” is a bona fide rip off.

It is true that some individuals tend to snore more when sleeping in certain positions (mostly when they’re sleeping on their backs–b/c of the gravitational effects on the airway). But what good will this device do if you snore no matter what?

The “gentle electrical pulse” it also claims to issue–that may as well wake you up and interrupt your sleep–also not good.

If you happen to be a person who snores when sleeping on their back–here’s a much simpler and less expensive solution. Take a pair of pajama pants or a pocket t-shirt, and put a tennis ball in the pockets on the back side. That way it’s uncomfy to sleep on your back, so you don’t!

However, if you still have snoring issues, or snore really loudly, you’d be best off talking to your doctor or visiting a sleep clinic, Snoring is often a sign of sleep apnea.
