i will be spending my first full night with my girlfriend who does not know the extent of my loud snoring. Snore-Seals are the only product that effectively quiet my snoring so i can feel comfortable spending the night. Instead of an uncomfortable CPAP, I use a small, disposable, comfortable snore seal.       Facts About Snoring • Findings indicate a dramatic increase as men and women reach their sixties indicating that sixty percent of men and forty percent of women snore. • Surveys indicate that 80 percent of men that snore do not consider themselves to have a problem and in fact consider their spouses to be light sleepers. • Studies have shown that people who snore are four times more likely to get a stroke than non-snorers. • Snoring puts immense pressure on the body, since your body literally struggles to take in oxygen. • Hypertension and heart conditions are also more common in people who snore. • Many snorers wake up feeling tired or groggy, so it is not uncommon for snorers to feel sleepy during the day. • Snoring is made worse by alcohol or sleeping tablets. • Overweight people are more prone to snoring. • Sleeping on your back increases the chances of snoring. • Colds, nasal polyps and allergies make snoring worse. • Older people often snore due to muscular weakness that occurs with age. • Medications may cause dryness or minor irritation of the nasal passageways and increase the incidence of snoring. • Smokers are twice as likely to snore.
