Hivox Snore Stopper

Saw this on the net .... it is an electronic snore stopper that sends and electric shocker to the wearer when the device detects a snore.

Is snoring serious?

Yes, both socially and medically.

Socially speaking, snoring is disruptive to family life. It makes the snorer an object of ridicule and causes other household members sleepless nights and resentfulness. Not to mention if you are sleeping at the bottom of the stairwell which acts as an amplifier for the snore, plus the back rest, handrest of the sofabed acts as ear cups to concentrate the 110 decibel snore. I suspect some folks are going deaf due to their partner's snoring.

Medically speaking, snoring disturbs the sleeping patterns of the snorer her/himself, so that s/he may not sleep restfully, and becomes less alert or productive during the day.

Futhermore, heavy snoring maybe an early warning sign of a dangerous medical condition known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea. A person with this condition actually stops breathing while asleep. When you don't breathe, the oxygen level in your blood is reduced. Then, this will cause serious medical problems. Many researchers found that about 40% of sleep apnea patients will have the complication of hypertension. Besides, people with sleep apnea have a higher risk of heart disease ( 2 times ), ischemic heart attack ( 3 times ), and stroke ( 4 times )

After reading all that, you would think that I deserve a snore stopper?!! Well maybe, but wouldn't it be fun to locate the deep/dead sound sleeper and strape this to his/her wrist. Then proceed to sleep and snore away. If they can sleep through your snore, it is time they get some jolts from your snoring!
