#snoring
Ok, question time, internet!
Brian wants to get an anti-snore pillow for $40, because it's supposed to align his spine so he snores less.
I say, all pillows align your spine, and you can fluff them if they're not right and that snoring is more caused by having a soft pallet & if the pillow worked people wouldn't need a C-pap machine for sleep apnea.
Any snorers want to chime in? Bonus points if you've tried the pillow or seen a specialist.

Has anyone here had Deviated Septum Surgery? What was your experience like? Did you regret it at any point?
I'm scheduled to go under the knife tomorrow. I should have probably asked this months ago.
Concern over hugely popular squashed-face breeds such as #pugs and #French #bulldogs has grown in recent years, not least because they are prone to short lives and myriad health problems.
One of the main worries with such brachycephalic breeds is that their flat faces mean they are susceptible to respiratory problems.
Experts say #noisy breathing, #snoring and #fainting after exercise are all signs that a dog is struggling for air.
Some even require surgery to open their nostrils or remove soft tissue to help them breathe.
Now concerns have been raised that Crufts has gone to the dogs after a French bulldog called #Elton scooped top gongs at the show.
Among those to express their unease was Jemima Harrison, an award-winning producer and director of science-led documentaries and a campaigner for health and welfare reform in dog breeding.
“This French bulldog – with no discernible nostrils and an almost concave face – won not just best of breed at Crufts today but also the Utility Group,” she wrote on X. “A terrible day for the breed. Am gutted.”
Dr Sean McCormack, a vet and presenter, also noted that Elton had severely pinched nostrils.
“Nothing like the revised breed standard that asked for more muzzle, more nose, to alleviate the health problems associated with being such a flat-faced breed,” he said in a TikTok video.
The breed standard for the French bulldog, released in 2021, states that such dogs should have a “well defined muzzle that can clearly be viewed in profile” and nostrils that should be “visibly” open.
Holy cr@p. I took a chance on one of those gizmos that helps with #snoring, and it actually works. I had been waking myself, and my entire family, up with my snoring. The snoring app on my phone said that I snored 60% of the night and at "epic" noise levels. I bought one of those mouth guards that keeps your tongue from blocking your windpipe while you sleep. First night - zero snoring. Amazing. #NotAnAd

OMG. For the longest time, I thought I can hear my #neighbor #snoring through the wall in my #bedroom. Until now, where I also heard the snoring sound in the lounge room. Turns out it's the #music from the #pub downstairs. It seems like only one specific low #frequency penetrates the walls much better than all others, and it #sounds like an irregularily reapeating snoring #noise. Damn.
Had the best night’s sleep in months last night. I’ve been using one of these tongue stabilisation devices to try and help with my #snoring for the last couple of weeks and I’m finally getting used to it. They’re quite uncomfortable initially but the literature is clear they take time to accustom to, and I think I’m getting there…
reading the wikipedia page for the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege in London, and they released one of the hostages because he snored too loud
