Where Can I Find the Best Anti-Snoring Device?

According to Gallup, both the quality and quantity of sleep for the average American has steadily decreased since 1942. In 1942, the average American slept 7.9 hours per night. By 2013, that had fallen to 6.8 hours, a 13% decrease. Other findings:

• Many people report drowsiness during the day at home or at work.
• A meaningful share report drowsiness while driving.
• RAND has estimated that insufficient sleep costs the US economy hundreds of billions of dollars annually in lost productivity.

Anti-snoring devices are widely available at Walmart, Walgreens, and Amazon. Many people also see a doctor or dentist for help with snoring. VitalSleep® offers an affordable, adjustable anti-snoring mouthpiece.

What Types of Anti-Snoring Devices Do People Use?

Here are some of the most widely used snoring devices, and what the evidence says:

• Nasal Strips: Nasal strips are available at most pharmacies. Research indicates they can improve nasal breathing. They are generally not effective for heavy snoring, and they are not a treatment for sleep apnea.
• Anti-Snoring Pillows: According to Consumer Reports, anti-snoring pillows can help some people, but finding one that works often takes trial and error. The most common complaint is comfort.
• Sleep Aids: Some people try prescription sleep medication. These carry health considerations that are worth discussing with your doctor. Some people prefer to improve sleep by natural means first.

What Kinds of Anti-Snoring Mouthpieces Are There?

Mouthpieces for snoring come in two main types: Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD) and Tongue Stabilizing Devices (TSD). Mandibular advancement devices, like VitalSleep®, gently move the lower jaw forward to help reduce snoring. Tongue stabilizing devices hold the tongue forward to increase the gap between the tongue and the back of the throat. According to the National Institutes of Health, tongue devices are less widely used than mandibular advancement devices.

A professionally fitted anti-snoring mouthpiece typically costs $1,800 or more, covering the device, fitting, and follow-up appointments. VitalSleep® is an affordable alternative that does not require follow-up visits. It molds in under two minutes with the boil-and-bite method and adjusts up to 8mm.

What Are Some Other Snoring Solutions?

There are many reasons people snore. Lifestyle changes can also help reduce snoring, though they usually take time:

• Proper Hydration: Drinking enough water helps keep the respiratory tract and nasal passages from becoming sticky, which can reduce obstruction.
• Weight Loss and Diet Change: Excess tissue around the throat can narrow the airway during sleep.
• Avoiding Alcohol Before Bed: Alcohol relaxes the muscles, which narrows the airway during sleep.
• Reducing Congestion: Congestion from illness or allergies can cause snoring. Air purifiers and humidifiers can help.
• Changing Sleep Position: Back sleeping lets the tongue fall back and block airflow. Side sleeping is a simple way to address this.
• Laser treatment

These suggestions can help, but they are rarely an immediate fix. VitalSleep® molds to your mouth and is designed to work from the first night, though individual results vary. It is made in the USA from 100% USA-sourced, non-toxic materials and comes with a 1-year warranty.
