Descriptions Do you suffer from interrupted sleep every night ? Do you feel guilty that your snoring makes your spouse or roommate lying awake all night ? Snoring and sleep apnea not only affects your quality of sleep but also greatly affects your quality of daily life. How it works : Snoring research reveals that a jaw supporter can help to reduce or eliminate snoring by keeping the lower jaw in an upward position, which in return increasing the three dimensional space in the airway, and thus reducing the air velocity and soft tissue vibration. This strap supports the chin allowing the jaw to relax with the mouth closed or nearly closed. As long as there are no obstructions preventing breathing through the nose, snoring cannot easily occur. Current CPAP users may discover wearing a jaw supporter improves the comfort and effectiveness of their CPAP. Additionally, some CPAP users report that they are able to stop using CPAP while wearing a jaw supporter. "A chinstrap alone improved severe obstructive sleep apnea as well as or better than the use of CPAP. Anesthesiologists in Japan demonstrated that in children with OSAS a ?chin lift and jaw thrust improved the stridor score.? That same study demonstrated that achieving the lateral position, also adopted at home by our patient further improved the effectiveness of these maneuvers. Oral appliances can improve sleep apnea with nonresponders, interestingly, having larger upper airway dimensions. However, oral appliances can be expensive and are not uniformly effective. In sum, this case report indicates that a simple and inexpensive chinstrap deserves further investigation as a modality for the treatment of OSAS." Robert D. Vorona, M.D.; J.

CNN Headline News -CHICAGO, Illinois AP -- New research suggests children who snore face nearly double the risk of being inattentive and hyperactive, providing fresh evidence of an intriguing link between sleep problems and attention deficit disorders.
