Snore Blocker
From LoveToKnow Sleep
Finding the right snore blocker may be the key to a good night's sleep for anyone sharing a bed with someone who snores. While some people prefer to purchase a device for the snorer to wear while sleeping, other people buy specially designed earplugs and other items to block the snoring sounds that can certainly disrupt sleep.
Treating the Snoring
Some products marketed as snore blockers are actually designed to stop a person from snoring while sleeping. Although there are a wide variety of products available – some a result of scientific research and some downright wacky – the best products will train the body to stop snoring, resulting in no need for any snore blocker products in the future for the user.
Here is a list of some of the snore blocker products available that are designed to stop people from snoring:
- The Snore Stopper uses electronic impulses to stop a person from snoring. This device, which is worn on the wrist similarly to a watch, claims to utilize acupressure points in order to stop the wearer from snoring and eventually trains the body to stop snoring altogether.
- Pure Sleep is a mouthpiece worn in the mouth while sleeping. It is designed to ease the jaw into a position that opens the airway and blocks any snoring. This devices comes with a money back guarantee.
- The Anti-Snoring Chin Pillow is worn around the neck and props the chin up into a position that tends to keep the mouth closed to block or reduce the sound of any snoring. This device is marketed to people who want to stop snoring but who do not want to wear a mouthpiece at night while sleeping.
There are many other devices and products sold that purport to be able to block a person from snoring. There is not one single product that is 100 percent guaranteed to work with every single person, so many people wind up trying several different products before finding something that works effectively for them.
Muffling the Sound
Although some people snore relatively quietly, there are some people who snore so loudly that they disrupt sleep for everyone else in the house. Oftentimes it is the loved ones of the snorer, such as the spouse who sleeps next to the snorer in bed or the children with bedrooms down the hall, who miss out on sleep as a result of the snoring. These people often turn to products designed specifically to drown out the sound of snoring, especially if the snorer has tried several snore blockers without success.
Here is a list of some of the products available to block the sound from a person snoring:
- Earplugs: This is a popular choice among people who must endure the sounds of a person snoring nearby. Traditional earplugs help, but many people choose to purchase earplugs that are designed specifically for use as snore blockers. Examples of these types of earplugs include Crystal Earplugs and Snore Plus Earplugs.
- White Noise: Devices designed to emit white noise directly into the ear may function doubly as earplugs. There are also white noise machines that sit next to the sleeper on a bedside table, but these rarely are completely effective to block the sounds of snoring. Examples of white noise devices designed to block the sound of snoring include The Snore Masker Pro Earplugs and White Noise CDs.
- Other Devices: There are many other snore blocker products designed for people who sleep next to snorers, including ear muffs and headsets.
Buy a Snore Blocker
When sleeping in another room isn't an option, check to see if there is a snore blocker that works well for everyone involved. In some instances it might be the snorer using a device and in other instances it may be the other people in the house using something to block the sound of the snoring. Sometimes families need to utilize both methods.
The important thing is to get a good night's sleep free from the sounds of snoring.
