Description
Snore Circle is a wearable device that uses modern technology to solve an age old problem . . . snoring.
Worn at night, this soft, lightweight anti snoring device fits snugly around your ear and monitors your breathing and bone vibrations while you sleep.
When snoring activity is detected, it emits tiny beeps and micro vibrations which make you alter your breathing and change your sleeping position causing you to stop snoring naturally and without interrupting your sleep.
SOUNDS GOOD . . . BUT DOES IT WORK?
Snore Circle works because it uses our natural, built-in ability to stop snoring.
There are numerous anti-snoring devices on the market including mouthpieces, chin straps, nasal devices, pillows, pills and sprays. Most of these try and fight the snoring process . . . with limited success.
Snore Circle takes a different approach. It recognizes that the relaxation of the throat during sleep and the brain’s ability to adjust our position and breathing during the night are natural processes which serve a very important function – to keep us alive.
Instead of fighting against the process, the Snore Circle mimics the way our brain deals with snoring, but it intervenes earlier and in a more subtle and unobtrusive manner ensuring that we not only stop snoring, but we continue to sleep soundly.
By monitoring our breathing patterns (just like the brain does while we sleep), the Snore Circle acts before the brain is made aware of our breathing difficulties. By emitting micro sounds and tiny vibrations, it stimulates our natural reaction to adjust our position, clear our airways and stop snoring.
Research indicates that although positive results are experienced almost immediately, the more the device is used, the more effective it becomes. Researchers attribute this to an almost Pavlovian effect – we begin to associate the signals from the Snore Circle with the need to clear our airways and adjust our sleeping position.
Over time, this becomes an autonomous reaction which we do without disrupting our sleep patterns resulting in a virtually snore free and uninterrupted night’s sleep.
In a nutshell, Snore Circle works because it taps into our natural, built-in ability to stop snoring rather than trying to fight against it.
BONUS FEATURE: A PERSONAL SLEEP LABORATORY
While you are sleeping, the Snore Circle device stores data relating to your sleeping activity and how many times it intervenes to prevent snoring. This information can be synced to the Snore Circle app on your mobile phone (using Bluetooth) to give you an historical view of your sleeping patterns and snoring incidents.
As a result, the app can give you interesting insights into the quality of your sleep as well as the interventions it took to reduce your snoring on a day by day (or night by night) basis. It is almost like a mini sleep lab on your phone.
The app also allows you to check the battery level and to change various settings on the device via your mobile phone.
You can also use the app to set the intensity and sensitivity of the device. For example, if you are using it on an airplane which has a lot of ambient noise, you should reduce the sensitivity (so it doesn’t respond to external noises) and increase the intensity (so it sends a louder signal when you snore).
