New buzzer could stop your partner from snoring and keeping you up all night

A new gadget is doing the rounds online this week after it claimed to be able to completely eradicate snoring.

Okay, it’s admittedly a very bold claim – for years, we have been batting away so-called ‘cures’ and ‘hacks’ for snoring and have simply been making do with a pair of good quality ear plugs instead.

Yet, with 35% of the adult population being serial snorers, you’d think there would have been a solid solution by now.

Well, one company is adamant that they hold the answer to that much-needed peaceful night’s sleep.

Sibelmed, a company that works in the design and manufacture of products related to sleep diagnosis and therapy, has unveiled the Somnibel, a small buzzer that attaches to the snorer’s forehead and buzzes them whenever they roll over onto their back.

Okay, it isn’t exactly the most fashionable device, but I suppose looking ridiculous in bed is a small price to pay for a blissful, snore-free evening?

The website description reads: “Somnibel is a Class IIa medical device that works for sleep apnea and snoring treatment.

“It consists of a small, light device that is attached to the forehead and vibrates gently whenever your patient is sleeping in a supine position, encouraging them to change position.”

To put it simply – the device buzzes whenever the wearer rolls onto their back, reminding them to sleep on their side where, apparently, the snoring will ease.

And, according to the Respiratory Medicine Journal, scientists have found that the small device can reduce snoring symptoms by a third within days of using it.

The device isn’t available to buy immediately online, but if you’re interested in buying one for yourself (or your snoring partner), you can get in touch with Sibelmed here.
