I have found a simple device that scientists have developed in order to overcome one of the biggest obstacles to harmony in the bedroom. This is a "snoring mouthpiece". In other words, there is an oral appliance that people can wear to bed in an effort to stop snoring. Without the disruptive effects of snoring, better sleep is achieved for the snorer and the bed-mate. Let's discuss sleep in a little bit more detail.



Quality sleep not only heals us, but gives us back control of our lives. Alternatively, proper sleep improves our lives to the extent that we feel good about ourselves and life in general. We have energy, we are at peace, we are not fatigued.

Did you know that there are more than 80-reasons why people do not sleep properly. Snoring may be the most prevalent of these despite the fact that people who snore will often tell you they sleep well. On the other hand they sheepishly admit it bothers their bedmate. The snorer thinks that their partner is the person who is most affected by their snoring. The sad thing is they don't recognize the harmful effects of snoring on the snorer.This is totally and patently false. Snorers do not get good quality sleep and we'll explain why a snoring mouthpiece can change all of that a little further into this article.

Whether the deterrent to good sleep is snoring, insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome or anything else is irrelevant. Poor sleep has a profoundly negative impact on your quality of life.

Daytime fatigue listlessness, is the most common complaint from poor sleepers. A universal complaint from snorers is that they feel exhausted all the time, and this is particularly true when they aren't being physically active. The person who is sleep-deprived due to snoring has great difficulty staying awake when sitting, doing office work or driving, which is very dangerous. Imagine that normal daytime activities are compromised by daytime fatigue for almost 40% of Americans. With snoring leading the list of deterrents to proper sleep, an effective snoring mouthpiece seems not only logical but mandatory.

Ever wonder where the saying grumpy old men (and women)? Believe it or not, "grumpy old men" (or women for that matter) may not be irritable because their nerves are frayed from fighting life's day-in and day-out battles. They're grumpy or irritable because older people, on average, don't sleep as well as younger people. A snoring mouthpiece might even have the effect of improving our moods.

How do we end up snoring?

The passage at the back of the throat through which air from our nose or mouth travels to the lungs seems to collapse when we fall asleep. If you were to examine the back of the throat you would notice soft tissues called the soft palate and uvula in the rear, upper 1/3 of the oral cavity. These soft tissues are the culprit in snoring because as we fall asleep, these tissues relax and fall back into the airway. This makes the airway smaller.. In order to inhale and exhale during the breathing process, air must be under more pressure since the opening is smaller (like a pressure wash on your hose). So the pressurized breath stream passes over the relaxed tissues of the throat (most notably, the soft palate and uvula) and sets these floppy tissues into vibration. The sleeping person may be unaware of it but the noise produced by snoring arouses everyone in the bedroom from deep sleep, into lighter sleep and this is not good. But daytime fatigue, and those attractive bags under the eyes tell a different story. That story is simply that snoring can prevent good quality sleep. Something else! Excessive and loud snoring may be a marker of obstructive sleep apnea which can be life-threatening. Recently, dentists have been making a snoring mouthpiece, or, dental appliance which shows great promise. When the airway is more open, there is much less probability of snoring. This is why we don't snore when we are wide awake the airway is open. The snoring mouthpiece can eliminate snoring because it opens up the airway.
