Ive been using the app to better understand my snoring problem. The app is very easy to use. It records and plots out a nice graphical timeline of your sleep session. In addition, you can play back the recording at any point of the timeline and listen to your snoring.
By using the app I was pleasantly surprised to find that my snoring is much less when sleeping on my right side compared to my left side. I dont quite understand why this would be the case, but now that I know, Im sleeping on my right side. Before this, my default sleeping side was the left side. So, the app told me that Ive been sleeping on the wrong side!
The app revealed another interesting discovery. I have nasal allergy, so occasionally, I take an over-the-counter allergy pill before I go to bed. When I record my sleep, the app instantly shows that my snoring is dramatically reduced after taking the allergy pill. This makes perfect sense, because the pill helps to relieve congestion in the nose, which leads to less snoring.
My next step is to experiment with using the MegaVent nasal appliance, which is supposed to allow better airflow in the nose. It would be interesting to compare the results of using the MegaVent with the results from using the pill. Im hoping the MegaVent will produce similar results, so that I can avoid having to take the pill.
After trying MegaVent I will probably want to try the Reduznore to see if that can further reduce my snoring.
So, if you want to try different strategies and appliances for reducing snoring, the app is an indispensable tool for systematically trying, quantifying, and evaluating the effectiveness of each strategy and appliance.
The app makes for a great sleep partner. :-)
