Yet another anti-snoring pillow on the horizon

As if there weren't enough anti-snoring options (let alone ones that fall in the pillow category) already out there, Daryoush Bazargani, professor of computer science at the University of Rostock, has conjured up another. Reportedly, the inventor has developed a "computerized pillow that shifts the head's sleeping position until the noise stops," and he was showing off a prototype at a recent health conference in Germany. The pillow is said to be "attached to a computer, which is the size of a book, rests on a bedside table, and analyzes snoring noises." Subsequently, air compartments within the pillow can be enlarged as needed "to facilitate nasal airflow and minimize snoring." No word on a launch timeframe just yet, but Mr. Bazargani did state that several US outfits had already shown interest.

So a wool sock isn't good anymore?

It can also stop you snoring by sticking a spear through your head ;)

I think my girl will suffocate me with this overpriced pillow before it actually works.

She gets jealous of other inflatables? ;-)

All these anti-snoring pillows are great - they're so bloody uncomfortable that they've stopped thousands of idiots who've bought them from sleeping, and if you ain't sleeping you ain't snoring now are you?!

But, what will my wife complain about now?

Why spend money on something when your wife will do the same (maybe in a tad harsher way) for free? :D

At the risk of sounding like a spammer I feel I should tell you of an alternative remedy for snoring that even works with a CPAP mask. My snoring was a problem for the spouse. My wife would often wake me to stop. We found an unexpected solution that has stopped my snoring: The SquidFace and ComfyRest pillows. The snoring relief on my back was an unexpected benefit of an invention I patented for being able to lie facedown comfortably and breathe without turning my head to the side. Also great for power naps. Snoring relief and many additional pain relief benefits are on my website. SquidFace.com
