General well-being and quality of life

After suffering not just from snoring but also from sleep apnoea I spent many hundreds of dollars on an orthodontic brace. this solved the problem but was extremely uncomfortable to wear. My dentist then mentioned SnorBan. I tried it and found it equally effective and comfortable in the mouth. I have now used it for four months and neither my snoring nor sleep apnoea has returned. problem solved for a fraction of the price of my orthodontic brace. B.B. Woodford

Snoring can create a severe strain on a relationship. Imagine sleeping next to a buzz-saw every night. Before long, you will become angry and resentful. You may even start waking the snorer up to stop the noise and to reposition the snorer. In the morning, you are both tired and upset from the night's disturbance. In one extreme case, a wife applied Crazy Glue to her husband's lips and nostrils to stop the snoring. He suffocated and died.

Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) often wake up tired and irritable. They may find it difficult to stay focused and are forgetful. None of these traits are conducive to maintaining good relationships. The fatigue and sleepiness that patients with OSA suffer prevents them from being full participants in life.

There have been several recent scientific studies looking at these issues. These studies found that quality-of-life was significantly impaired in patients with OSA and that treatment could restore normal function.

Thank you for the speedy delivery of my SnorBan. I have been using it for nearly 3 weeks now and had no problem getting used to the device. According to my wife (who allows me to sleep with her again!) my rhinoceros snort has been replaced by the occasional low growl! We now rest assured of a silent night! John & Judy C.

Nothing is better for your health than undisturbed sleep. How often have you waken feeling as tired as when you went to bed, fallen asleep in front of the TV, nodded off during the afternoon, or worse still, while driving? Snoring damages your health. It:-

• puts a severe strain on your body and on your blood pressure
   
• affects the heart, the arteries and the immune system.

   

• increases the chances of a stroke.

   

• increase in the chances of getting diabetes

   

• increase the change in the ratio of muscle to fat and therefore in putting on weight.

   

• accelerates aging.

   

• causes depression and affects the very quality of life.

   

• causes constant fatigue

  To benefit from sleep you must take in oxygen for it is that that enables you to wake up refreshed and able to cope with the stresses of the day. When you snore you are fighting to take in air and when you gulp and gasp it's because your throat has closed up and your system is telling you to wake up because you need to breath, because you need oxygen. This fighting happens all night long when you snore and puts a severe strain on the body. It affects your blood pressure, your heart and the very quality of your life.

SUPERB!!! I would just like to say thank you for sending me the SnorBan mouthpiece. I don’t know if you remember me, I was on Southern Counties Radio recently on a show about snoring. You sent me the mouthpiece to try and I have to say, that in this short space of time I have noticed a better quality of sleep. .... I have undergone expensive surgery to try to cure the problem and this is cheaper and more effective. I only wish my doctors were aware of SnorBan. This is a product that I will definitely recommend to my friends or anyone who snores. Once again a huge thank you from myself and my long-suffering wife. Vernon M. Kent

The principle behind the SnorBan mouthpiece is really simple. To understand how it works try this. Push your lower jaw slightly forward and you will find you open the passage to the airway and you do not snore.

• Snorers have a markedly higher risk of developing heart attacks, high blood pressure, or strokes.
• Snorers have a 300% higher risk of becoming involved in an automobile accident.
• Snorers have a 400% to 500% higher risk of daytime fatigue.
• Snoring causes sleep apnoea, a serious medical condition, in 20% of all chronic snorers
• 25% of all preadolescent children are chronic snorers, and most of these have some form of sleep apnoea, a serious medical condition.
• Snoring causes sleep disturbances that lead to increased anxiety, hyperirritability, decreased memory and poor concentration.
• Because snoring forces air over oral and throat tissues, a dry environment is created, which then easily leads to bad breath and sour/bitter tastes.

The social consequences can be extremely distressing: banishment from the bedroom, marital disharmony, no holidays because of the enforced sleep disruption when sharing a hotel room, fear of falling asleep during journeys on public transport with the consequent ridicule and embarrassment. Many of the stories we hear are very sad and not worthy of the music hall joke approach to snoring.
