Support your Snorgo Efforts
We hope that you find your Snorgo as successful as we anticipate you will. Please remember though that snoring can often be worsened by lifestyle factors and it is really helpful to try and address these whilst using your device. Exercise, smoking, alcohol, large meals, weight all can significantly contribute.
We believe the benefits of your training will markedly improve if you can consider any of these as well when you are using your Snorgo. We know we are the easiest to introduce but please look carefully at these other factors and try and go the extra mile to get even more benefit from your Snorgo exercise programme.
Not all of these may be relevant to you but please consider them carefully:
Exercise
Exercise can support snoring prevention – even when it doesn’t lead to weight loss.
Weight loss
Being overweight is a significant cause of snoring. Fatty tissue and poor muscle tone contribute. Particularly consider any excess weight around your neck.
Nose and sinus problems
Please see a health professional if this is a concern of yours
Sleep posture
Sleeping flat on your back causes the flesh on your throat to relax and block the airway. Changing this position can sometimes help.
Large meals late in the day
Trials have shown this is probably not helpful for snoring.
Alcohol, smoking and medications
These can all contribute to over relaxation of the pharynx and increase snoring. Please try and reduce them particularly as you start to train with your Snorgo.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
We are pretty confident it relates to the training of what are called involuntary muscles of the pharynx, the space behind your nose and mouth that connects to your oesophagus (food-pipe). Involuntary muscles are different to voluntary ones, like the ones of your arm or leg, in that you can’t command them in the same way. It is because of this they are harder to exercise. That’s where Snorgo comes in. It is tailor-made to support this type of exercise. Almost like a dumbbell for the pharynx.
