Slightly Sadistic Anti Snoring Products

This article takes a look at some of the more weird and wonderful anti snoring products that are out there. And in the case of some of these products, you can’t help but wonder what circumstance happened to provoke the creation of such an invention.
Some inventions, like the nasal strips that are primarily sold for decongestion, have helped some people stop snoring almost accidentally. They were never intentionally designed as anti snoring products, but in a lot of cases they do work and at the end of the day that’s all that matters.
There are however, some of these gizmos that you know without any shadow of a doubt were probably created by a non-snorer who was forced to live years in the same room as a snorer. Its almost as if they want to see snorers punished for their problem, but cleverly disguise it as a cure for snoring
Have A Ball
Many snorers may be able to stop snoring if they roll over on their sides, hence the purpose of this invention. If a person sleeps on their sides and still snores, then they could well have sleep apnea and need help from their doctor.
And so, with the purpose of getting a person to sleep on their side, the snore ball was invented. It consists of a hard little ball that is strapped to the small of your back. When you roll over onto your back, you immediately regret that you did so and have no choice but roll over onto your side.
There are varieties that stick to the inside of your pajamas, while there are others that come with their own straps so that you can apply them directly to your back.
Some would say that these are slightly cruel products, designed to prohibit even the soundest sleeper from rolling over onto their backs. Perhaps the inventors were trying to inflict just a portion of their misery onto the snorers of this world!
The Sandler Pillow
And on a similar vein, the Sandler Pillow also makes it almost impossible for someone to sleep on his back. The pillow is named after its inventor Peter Sandler (no known relation to popular comedian Adam Sandler). It is a tiny, long pillow that is too thin for the whole head, and this is what forces you to sleep on your side.
Once again, the intention is to stop the snorer from sleeping on his back and to move onto his side.
Shock Therapy
Perhaps one of the most drastic and downright dangerous of all anti snoring products could be a product called the Snore Stopper.
This is an anti snoring bracelet which is designed to be worn around the wrist. You wear it when you go to bed of course, and when you start to snore it gives you a sharp jolt of electricity, which in most cases immediately wakes you up.
The manufacturers of this product claim that the sensation you feel from the Snore Stopper is no more painful than a “small pinch”. You can’t help but wonder how many chronic snorers receive this as a wedding or an anniversary present.
And if you’re feeling particularly cruel towards your snoring partner, what’s even better is that there is also a Snore Stopper that is specifically for the tongue. It shocks the tongue whenever it presses against the back of the mouth. Bon appetit!
