Reduce Snoring for Better Sleep
How Sleep Spa Helps Reduce Snoring for Better Sleep:
Snoring is a common sleep disturbance that affects both the snorer and their sleeping partner. It occurs when the airflow is partially obstructed, causing vibrations in the throat tissues, leading to the familiar snoring sound. While snoring is often harmless, frequent snoring can disrupt sleep quality and lead to daytime fatigue.
The Study: How Inclined Sleeping Reduces Snoring:
A recent study analyzed 25 self-reported snorers over an 8-week period to evaluate the effects of sleeping at a 12-degree incline. Participants slept on a flat surface for 4 weeks, followed by 4 weeks on an adjustable bed with the upper body elevated. The results showed:
✅ 7% reduction in snoring duration when sleeping at a 12-degree incline.
✅ 4% fewer nighttime awakenings, leading to a more restful sleep.
✅ 5% increase in deep sleep, improving overall sleep quality.
✅ Participants felt they snored less frequently and had fewer sleep disruptions.
Why Sleep Spa Helps with Snoring:
Snoring is caused by airway obstruction, often due to the tongue and soft tissues collapsing backward while sleeping flat. An inclined sleeping position helps by:
✔ Opening the upper airways, reducing airway resistance.
✔ Preventing the tongue from falling back, minimizing obstructions.
✔ Improving oxygen flow, leading to fewer disruptions.
✔ Decreasing acid reflux, which can further contribute to snoring.
Best Sleep Spa Position for Snoring Relief:
The anti-snore mode was found to be the most effective and comfortable position for snoring relief. Unlike CPAP machines or anti-snoring devices, adjustable beds provide a natural and non-invasive way to promote better breathing.
Additional Benefits Beyond Snoring:
Sleeping at an incline can also:
✅ Enhance blood circulation.
✅ Reduce swelling in the legs and feet.
✅ Improve digestion and prevent acid reflux.
✅ Support better spinal alignment, reducing neck and back pain.
Conclusion: A Simple Yet Effective Snoring Solution:
The study confirms that elevating the upper body while sleeping is an effective, non-invasive method to reduce snoring and improve sleep quality. By integrating Sleep Spa’s adjustable features, individuals can enjoy better airflow, deeper sleep, and reduced snoring-related disturbances, leading to a healthier and more restful sleep experience.
