Slightly Sadistic Anti Snoring Products

In looking at the wide wacky world of anti snoring products, you can't help but wonder what circumstance happened to provoke the creation of such an invention. Some, like the nasal strips sold for decongestion, have helped some people stop snoring accidentally. They were never intentionally designed as anti snoring products. But some gizmos you know without a shadow of a doubt that they were created by a non- snorer who was forced to live years in the same room as a snorer.

Have A Ball

Many snorers will be able to stop snoring once they roll over on their sides. If they are on their sides and still snore, then they probably have sleep apnea and need a doctor's care. So, these are slightly cruel anti snoring products designed to prohibit even the soundest sleeper from rolling over onto their backs. Perhaps the inventers were trying to inflict just a portion of their misery onto the snorers of the world.

One such anti snoring product is known as the Snore Ball. It came out in the early twentieth century. It is a hard little ball that is strapped to the small of your back. When you roll over onto your back, you immediately regret that you did and have no choice but roll over onto your side. Some stick to your pajamas while others come with their own straps.

The Sandler Pillow

Along a similar vein, the Sandler Pillow also makes it next to impossible for a sleeper to snore on his or her back. The pillow is named after inventor Peter Sandler (no known relation to popular comedian Adam Dandler). It is a tiny, long pillow too thin for the whole head.

Shock Therapy

The most drastic and downright dangerous of anti snoring products has to be the Snore Stopper. This is an anti snoring bracelet, which can be worn around the wrist. When you start to snore, it gives you a jolt of electricity, which wakes you up. The manufacturers claim that the sensation you feel from the Snore Stopper is no more painful than a "small pinch." You can't help but wonder how many chronic snorers receive this as a wedding anniversary present. ("Oh, honey, you REALLY shouldn't have.")

What's even better is that there is also a Snore Stopper that is specifically for the tongue. It shocks the tongue whenever it presses against the back of the mouth. Bon appetit.
