it's really bad that was really really
really bad
a freight train an 18-wheeler snoring
can be loud and disruptive for you and
your family there are times when it's
really thick then you can actually hear
it drop off and then it will just raise
up like it's bad if only if only there
was an over-the-counter product that can
help you quit snoring well our consumer
investigator Haag Winchester is testing
out a couple products that might do the
trick
it's a fairly common problem in the
bedroom and the numbers are surprising
roughly 50% of men and almost 30% of
women
snore it not only affects your sleep but
also the sleep of the person that you
may be sharing your bed with well now
there are new products out there that
claim they can solve this issue once and
for all
pillows chin straps even eye mask there
are so many products out there on the
market claiming they can help you stop
snoring would you like to put a stop to
your snoring what do any of them really
work right now we're testing out two
newer products that have been getting a
lot of attention estimated between 20 to
50% of the population are based on
gender and age and it happened because
of narrowing somewhere in the airway
from the nasal passages all the way to
the throat so the air get turbulence and
so you can get the vibration and hear
the snoring snoring has been a big
longtime problem for Yolanda Greene my
dad was a snore and I think what I'm
gonna say is I'm right up there with him
you never realize how bad it is until
exid I started this exercise and that's
her listening to myself it's really bad
she usually uses a CPAP machine at night
but it's so uncomfortable you know
trying to figure out you know where you
want to be and how you want to lay so
when I offered her a few products to
test that could stop her snoring she was
all in the first is the tongue retaining
device it sells for 17 dollars it claims
to gently suction your tongue keeping it
from falling to the back of your throat
that way your airway isn't blocked which
makes you snore it's like having a
clothespin on your tongue like that but
Yolanda wasn't a fan it's horrible and
let me tell you I I wore it for about an
hour and that's it guys an hour it is
terrible she said the longer it was
suction to your tongue the more
uncomfortable the product was in her
mouth after about an hour of not being
able to sleep because of the retainer
itself she took it out and likely snored
the rest of the night we asked the
doctor from DMC what he thought about
the mouthpiece we have to be careful
before trying things off the shelf and
you need to be sure what you're using
first safe next we had her try these
snore care nose vents that sell for 19
dollars they're silicone tubes that
apparently open up your airway they're
actually not bad I mean as far as
comfort Yolanda said the first night the
product actually fell out when she moved
around in her sleep but she said they
did help with the volume of her snoring
it seemed like they were you could still
hear the story it wasn't as loud overall
though the nose fence didn't stop her
snoring all together it just offered a
little bit of relief so the final test
results
well Yolanda thinks it's better for you
to see your doctor if snoring is
preventing you from getting a good
night's sleep no I wouldn't invest it no
no we'll put more information about the
products you saw on this story and also
advice from the doctor we interviewed
all the information to help you solve
that snoring problem once and for all
