Snoring & night breathing: understand the mechanism before buying
Snoring may be mainly acoustic, nasal, positional or one sign of sleep-disordered breathing. Sleeple therefore starts with the mechanism before recommending a product category.
Our editorial rule: snoring ≠ sleep apnea. Quieter snoring does not prove normal breathing. No pillow, strip, dilator or gadget will be presented as a substitute for medical assessment when warning signs are present.
1. Understand the problem
2. Non-invasive options
3. Future commercial layer
Once affiliate programmes are available, we can compare nasal strips, internal dilators, wedge pillows, positional pillows and selected anti-supine devices. Comparisons will separate comfort, mechanism, evidence, contraindications, returns and real price.
4. What we will not commercialize casually
Mandibular devices, medical devices and sleep-apnea treatment will be handled separately with a much higher evidence threshold. We will not publish “best CPAP alternative” content that could encourage self-treatment of a breathing disorder.
