How To Stop Snoring with Your iPhone -

Tackling behaviors that cause snoring can help.

Occasional snoring might be cause for good-natured joking, but long-term, heavy snoring is often no laughing matter. Left unchecked, it can become a thorny issue in relationships, and might even be a sign of sleep apnea, a potentially serious medical condition. While you should definitely consult your doctor if you or your significant other is concerned about an ongoing problem, the resources at sites like WebMD.com, the Mayo Clinic (mayoclinic.com), and MedicineNet.com can help you understand more about your symptoms and how to take steps -- like sleeping on your side and avoiding alcohol before bedtime -- to prevent another noisy night’s sleep.

Monitoring your sleep can show how well your efforts are working.

You can also use an iOS device and apps like Stop Snoring & Alarm ($0.99, iPhone), Snore Sleep Inspector ($0.99, iPhone), and AntiSnore ($0.99, iPhone) to monitor your snoring. These apps track your bedroom’s ambient noise levels while you doze, then nudge you with an audio alarm or vibration when they detect unusual noises, like snoring. The incidents can then be saved and charted for later study, allowing you to track how well your anti-snoring efforts are working over time. Sounds more accurate than counting elbow jabs from the other side of the bed.
