GeneralNo Comments »
At night, do you breath through your mouth rather than out of your nose ? Do you wake in the morning with a dried out throat and mouth? Are you a person who snores?
These issues are often connected, and you wife or husband may well listen to you for much of the night. Lack of sleep can be an issue for both snorers and partners, but a simple device called a snoring chin strap may assist.
Is there a Solution to the problem?
There are a variety of devices that could possibly relieve with snoring problems. An anti snoring device is worn in the mouth to keep the airway free of obstruction, and alleviate the vibration of soft tissues which will cause snoring.
Another functional device, which is significantly less invasive but might well cure your snoring is the snoring chin strap. This is a very simple device which is worn over the head, with a cradle that goes under the chin and holds the mouth closed during the night. Now, if you have a blocked nose or structural difficulty, you need to get that sorted out, and a sleep apnea mouthpiece could serve you better. But for a lot of people, mouth breathing has become a habit, and the sleep apnea chin strap for snoring can instantly resolve this condition by ensuring you breath through your nose at night.
Yes, the chin strap looks a little unusual when worn, but the benefits far outweigh that slight disadvantage. You getting a good nights sleep without being constantly kicked is a true benefit. Your partner will be grateful for it too.
Using snoring chin straps can in fact give additional benefits that just a snoring cure. It is possible that you might have Sleep Apnea which is a more severe condition in which 'episodes' of breath holding take place whilst asleep, the sleeper commonly stops breathing for ten seconds or more. This condition could possibly cause some more severe health issues, and if you are worried about it, you really ought to call your health care provider and think about having a sleep investigation to verify the problem. The upside is that in some cases, it could be a learned condition which can possibly be fixed.
The great benefit of chin straps for snoring is that they teach you (although you are asleep) to inhale through your nose. Mouth breathers tend to get a narrowing of the airway, which will cause the soft mouth and throat tissues to vibrate, creating a snore. The snoring chin strap will keep the mouth shut and the jaw in a position that assists in keeping that airway open.
If you wear the 'stop snoring chin strap' for a while, consider trying the odd night without it to see if you have automatically learnt to breath through your nose at night. A partner will be able to inform you. If not, keep using it and the time will come when it is no longer needed. I found it only took me a couple of weeks before I was converted from a mouth breather to a nose breather, and more significantly, from a snorer to a non-snorer.
