This is SO past my bedtime…

Alright, here’s the deal.

I snore.

A LOT.

I won’t get into detail about Veronica’s techniques to get me to stop snoring in the middle of the night. And I won’t discuss how Henry gets 0 sleep when I pass out at 9PM at his apt.

Before, it was the tonsils that blocked my nasal passage, but I know I still snore. I feel it. I wake myself up from it. I KNOW. Sure, there’s nasal strips but they only dull it out… but it still goes on… and on… and on… Truth is: my snoring is INVINCIBLE!

Scientist invents computer pillow to stop snoring

Wed Oct 3, 2:14 PM ET

BERLIN (Reuters) – A German scientist has come up with a solution for snoring — a computerized pillow that shifts the head’s sleeping position until the noise stops.

Daryoush Bazargani, professor of computer science at the University of Rostock and the pillow’s inventor, was displaying a prototype of his pillow at a health conference in Germany on Wednesday.

“The pillow is attached to a computer, which is the size of a book, rests on a bedside table, and analyses snoring noises,” Bazargani told Reuters.

“The computer then reduces or enlarges air compartments within the pillow to facilitate nasal airflow to minimize snoring as the user shifts during sleep,” he said.

The ergonomic pillow can also be used for neck massages.

Bazargani said several U.S. firms were interested in manufacturing the pillow.

“I invented it because I snore,” he said. “I tried all sorts of products, but nothing worked. I hope people who use it will sleep more peacefully.”

I definitely have 0 problem sleeping peacefully. It’s the people around me that I feel so guilty about :~(

Maybe if I ever move in with anyone again, house-warming present? :DD
