WHAT IS SNORING?
Snoring is a harsh or rattling
noise that is usually produced
during deep sleep. The sound is
produced when air inhaled
through the mouth and vibrates
the tissue in the roof of the mouth
near the throat. As the soft
tissue vibrates, the lips, cheeks,
and nostrils can also vibrate,
making the sound even louder.
A l m o s t e v e r y o n e s n o r e s
occasionally, but men usually
snore more often than women
and children. Everyone knows
this problem, a s sn o r e r s
themselves or as involuntarily
listeners. In either case, the
results are undesirable.

SNORING IS
UNHEALTHY
An estimated one in every 30 to 50
adults has sleep apnea, a condition
in which breathing is repeatedly
interrupted during sleep.
In one form of sleep apnea called
obstructive sleep apnea, the
muscles that hold open the airway
relax, causing the breathing passage
to collapse. When oxygen levels in
the blood become too low, the person
wakes briefly to take a gasping
breath, which sounds like a loud
snort.
People with this condition do not
remember these short awakenings
and often assume that they have
slept through the night. As a result
they may not understand why they

sleepiness.

HEART DANGER!
Due to a lowered oxygen supply,
the heart must work harder. For
persons with heart disease,
snoring can be dangerous.
An increased demand on an
unhealthy heart causes the heart
to beat quickly so that it wakens
the person sleeping. The person
often finds themselves drenched
in sweat with a heart beating
rapidly. Excessive palpitation is
often attributed to dreaming, but
that is not usually the case. The
actual cause is snoring.

HEALTHY SLEEP
Healthy, quiet and restful sleep is
®
possible with the Urocare Anti-
Snoring Strap. It helps snorers
and saves others from torment.
It’s made from a soft, pliable
rubber and padded with a fine
cotton/foam laminate to reduce
sweating for a more comfortable.
Through gentle training, the
lower jaw remains closed during
sleep.
Every snorer should in their own
interest, but also with regard for
®
his fellow man use the Urocare
Anti-Snoring Strap.

ALSO USEFUL AS A
COSMETIC BANDAGE
It has also been shown through clinical
®
practice that the Urocare Anti-Snoring
Strap can be used as a cosmetic
bandage. During use, the strap
prevents the approach of the jaw to the
neck during sleep and aids in the
prevention of what is more commonly
known as a “double chin.”
