Smart Pillow Stops Snoring (but so do these tips)

by Sara Ost on October 6th, 2007

There is also Little Snoring.

Technology will solve everything! An inventor has developed a computerized pillow that adjusts while you sleep in the hopes that this will reduce nighttime snoring. The pillow works thanks to an attached computer (you will need a night stand). Will it beat the snore watch, or the Snorender?

I’m all for invention, but by the time this pillow gets made, you can lose a few pounds, which is often all it takes to reduce snoring. Since 40% of men and 25% of women snore, we could use a little help.

Here are some tips to reduce snoring:

- Try sleeping on your side.
- Get checked for allergies and sleep apnea.
- Lose weight. Seriously!
- Try elevating your head with an extra pillow or a contoured pillow (or buy the smart pillow if it ever comes out, I guess).
- Get a mouth guard or a snore strip.
- Take care of yourself. Things like smoking and an erratic sleep schedule aren’t going to help.
- Did you know? Snoring during pregnancy can be dangerous to the baby, so make sure to address this if it applies to you.

P.S. I used to snore and there’s only one word for that: sexy. I didn’t rattle the rafters or anything, but still, it was annoying. After I lost 20 pounds, the snoring went away and sleeping in general got much more comfortable. Weight loss - even a few pounds - does work. If you want tips, just let me know!
