OTC Snoring Aids Can Ruin Your Sleep
The study by 'Which?' found that over 70 per cent of people who have tried the over-the-counter remedies were disappointed.
And these so-called snoring cures include wire up the nostrils, nasal strips and even a three-month singing course on a CD.
However, such remedies rarely solve the problem because nocturnal noisemakers have no idea of the cause of their snoring.
'Which?' tested various remedies on nearly 2,000 of its members who suffer from excessive snoring.
And the failed treatments also included a dental device that was too uncomfortable to use, a plaster that kept the user awake and a foul-tasting spray.
The survey revealed that almost one in four Britons have had to spend a night in a different room to a partner because the snoring has been so loud.
Thus, the researchers selected couples for testing the various products to get the views of both the user and their bedfellow. They even consulted sleep experts about the effectiveness of cures.
"It's important to find out why you snore before buying a snoring aid,' The Telegraph quoted a spokesman as saying.
