Have you seen adverts about anti snore rings, anti snore pillows or one of dozens of any other anti snore remedies? They seem to be everywhere and there’s a reason there are so many of them.
Do you snore? If you have a bed-partner, probably the first indication will be when you are woken with a gentle touch on the arm and “turn over, you are snoring”. This escalates into a sharp, hard poke with an elbow, several times a night.
No matter what you do – lay on your side, sew a tennis ball into the back of your pyjamas, nothing will stop it and you start to feel bad. Next, your bed-partner starts to go sleep in another room to get away from the noise and get some much needed sleep. Maybe you feel so bad that you go sleep somewhere else. This is the start of a pattern that can negatively affect your life, your marriage and your health.
You’re not alone. It’s a common problem. Snoring usually starts out soft and only every now and again but before you know it, it happens every night and your snoring gets louder and louder. It stops you and your partner from getting a good night’s sleep and soon, you will find yourself falling asleep in front of the telly or drifting off at work. It goes past the stage where it’s funny when you are woken by someone laughing at you snoring or presenting you with a recording of your snores.
There are solutions. One of them is the anti snore ring. It is a smallish, metal ring with small ridges or bump on the inside surface. You slip it onto your little (pinky) finger before you go to bed and it presses an acupuncture point. Underneath and at the base of your little finger, just happens to be an acupuncture point that affects the lungs and heart to make you sleep better at night.
Acupuncture to stop snoring, has been used successfully for hundreds of years in China and other Asian nations. It has only recently been recognised as a viable treatment in the Western world.
It doesn’t work for everyone. There are as many people whom it doesn’t work for as there are people who say it’s saved their marriage. If your snoring is very bad, it is always a good idea to check with a medical professional, just in case you have obstructive sleep apnea or some other physical problem that’s causing the snoring.
Anti snore rings are a good first option because they are cheap and also very easy to use. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to find a solution that will stop your snoring and get your sleep pattern back to normal.
If you want to find a solution to your snoring and are aware of the fact that it may not work for everyone, then you could try nothing better than an anti snore ring.
