Snore Guards for Better and Safer Sleep
While you are sleeping, the most embarrassing thought is to be told that you snore while you are in slumber. People including your partner can tell you that and for sure this will get you red in the face. To some, it may not seem obvious but you just never know when you sleep.
When you snore in your sleep, it means that there is something wrong. Your normal breathing periods are being obstructed and chances are your health is the one in danger. So the next time you are told that you do snore, rather than get embarrassed try to see a specialist. It could lead to something very serious than being humiliated.
Snoring mysteriously tends to increase in post-menopausal women, perhaps due to weight gain, Dort says. However, because it often goes hand in hand with sleep apnea, it’s important to see a doctor.
“There are heart consequences related to sleep apnea, including hypertension and diabetes,” she says.
Snoring has more to do with placement of the tongue than with the soft palate and even though men and women have similar physiology, women respond better to snoring appliances than men.
“Up to 55 per cent of women respond to tongue retainers, which are not yet available over the counter,” says Dort, who offers the device, which resembles a baby soother, for $99.

I wear a snore guard every night. In addition to keeping me from snoring, it keeps me from grinding my teeth. So I’m really pleased at the results.
Stop sleep apnea and get snoring help. You won’t believe the difference in your attitude about life, about everything, once you start getting quality sleep on a nightly basis.
