SnoreGym +12

I’ve been telling my husband for years he snores. It has gotten so bad in recent years that we sleep many nights apart. I have always felt this impairs our relationship. Enter SnoreLab and SnoreGym

He finally agreed to do some exercises with SnoreGym. I bought it and once money was involved, he committed to do the “silly exercises”. I even did them with him and he rolled his eyes and thought it was all very funny. I then urged him to try SnoreLab so he could see if the exercises made any difference. His first night of use he scored in the high 200s and was blown away. He went back and listened, surprised to hear how epic his own snoring is. I was exonerated from “crazy sensitive sleeper” status as he realized he is actually quite loud. A few weeks later with SnoreGym, his snore score is down to the 50s! We are able to sleep in the same room again! This is the fulfillment of the promise of technology improving our lives.

Added bonus: I’ve also done the exercises and I think it helps me breathe better throughout the day. My nose seems to get stuffed up less often. Amazing apps, worth every penny.

I have struggled with insomnia all my life, and have tried everything to improve it. Last year I had a sleep study and was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea, with an AHI of 7. I tried CPAP but couldn’t tolerate it. Then I went to a dentist who specializes in sleep apnea. In the process of working with him, he introduced me to SnoreLab, and from there, I found SnoreGym.

The dentist (who is a really wonderful, kind and helpful person) made me a dental appliance to correct the apnea (my brother got one and it totally changed his life). Unfortunately I was not able to tolerate the appliance any better than the CPAP. But then I started doing the SnoreGym exercises…. And within a couple months, when I recorded my breathing at night, I no longer heard snoring!

I kept doing the exercises, and a month ago I was able to have another sleep study. When the report came back, it said I had an AHI of 1 ( which is considered normal) and I had NO apneas AT ALL… only hypopneas. So now it’s official: I no longer have sleep apnea!!

Of course, this doesn’t mean that my insomnia is completely gone. I have PTSD, and am highly sensitive as well, and may always have some sleep challenges. But I do feel that my sleep is frequently better, that I sleep longer, most nights, without waking. And it’s a huge relief to know that I don’t have to worry about having my life shortened by sleep apnea. Thank you, SnoreLab and SnoreGym!! 🥰

It sends a reminder every day if you want and has an animation doing the exercises with you as well as a timer and tips to remind you how to do it properly. I haven’t been good about doing them everyday. Also, I am not yet certain whether it works or even how I will measure the results as I use a prescription oral appliance and have been delving deeply into the research on getting better sleep. In fact, I just got off a video conference with my sleep do and forgot to ask him what he thinks of these exercises. Probably not much since he’s never mentioned it to me himself.
