John’s Reviews

It’s been a few days since Day 4, but I’ve been about the same since then. I will occasionally snore, but much less than before.

I was caught snoring on the couch last night, but I had a nasty headache and was laying on my back. I normally sleep on my side.

Bottom line, I should be doing my exercises more regularly, but it’s really tough to get motivated beyond this initial improvement. I’m going to keep working on it as best I can, to keep my current level of snoring from reverting back to before. I’d also like to see even more improvement. I’m also working on losing some excess weight, so I think that should help too.

I do recommend this exercise program to stop snoring. I was originally giving it only a 50/50 chance, but it has surpassed my expectations.

My wife reported that she had to wake me once because of snoring last night. It was still improved over the past, but not as good as the night before.

Two reasons for this, as far as I can tell:

1. I didn’t wear a nose strip last night. I wanted to see how much impact those have.
2. I didn’t put as much time into my exercises yesterday. I was up too late and did them quickly.

Bottom line:

I have some more work to do. I don’t want to rely on the nose strips to stop snoring. It’s interesting that I’ve reached a point where they make a difference, but I want to get even better.

That was this morning’s report from my wife. She also said that I usually snore if I fall asleep in front of the TV, and that’s improved too. She made it a point to tell me that she thinks the exercises are working.

Last night, I put on one of the nose strips too. I was hoping to improve my nasal issues. Keep in mind that I used to still snore when I wore those strips in the past.

I will continue to do the exercises. Partly because I feel that I can improve even more, and partly because it seems logical that I could revert back to my previous issues if it only took this long to show some improvement.

Checked with my wife again to see how my snoring was last night. The most interesting comment was that I was snoring more loudly in the family room (fell asleep during ice skating, go figure…).

Here’s why it is interesting to me. I didn’t do my exercises until right before going to bed. So even though I was still snoring, it appears that the exercises did something to make it less noisy. (Check out The Stop Snoring Exercise Program to see more about this exercise program.)

One other thing I learned is that some of the instructions for the exercises state that I should do that particular exercise 2 times per day. I’ll need to look over those instructions again and determine a good time to get an early exercise session into my day.

After 2 days, it appears that the exercises do impact my snoring. The instructions state that it may take some time to completely stop snoring. Considering that my particular issue appears to be a flabby soft palate, it makes sense that firming up a soft palate will take some time.
