Luckily I don’t snore and perhaps even luckier, I’ve never dated anyone with a snoring problem! My parents however have been married for almost 30 years and my mother still, on a regular basis, complaints about my father’s snoring (it’s pretty bad…like you can hear it two rooms away bad….!). So when I got an email about Silent Snooz ($12.95) I instantly perked-up. I knew my father had never tried anything to control his snoring and my mother never pushed so here was a great opp to see if anything could be done to control it. Silent Snooz is a new FDA-approved sleep enhancement and snoring prevention v-shaped dilator (one-size-fits-all) that, according to my dad, fits easily into the base of the nose. The dilator is designed to exert sufficient, gentle, “barely there” pressure to effectively open the nasal passages, helping to fight second hand snoring (designed to last 30 days). Basically the nasal passages are gently held open to allow for easier breathing. It comes in eucalyptus and lavender scents as well as fragrance-free and is available at most major drug stores.
While Silent Snooz didn’t eliminate my dad’s snoring completely it certainly helped bring it down a few notches and combined with my dad’s treasured elizabethW Silk Lavender Eye Pillow actually helped him achieve a deeper, more restful sleep.
How do you keep snoring at bay?
