An unfamiliar instrument called a didgeridoo has ties to snoring exercises. Who would have known that most Americans first exposure to the sound it makes would be delivered by way of American Idol.
Crystal Bowersox performed the Beatle’s much-loved Come Together tonight (she’s awesome every week!) and while I’ve mentioned the didgeridoo before in this post: Snoring Exercises Clinical Trial, I’d never seen one before.
In the first few seconds of Crystal’s performance, the camera zooms in on one man with a very large, wooden horn. The instrument was painted with an African theme and reached from the man’s mouth to the floor. The sound was deep and resonated perfectly as an accompaniment to Crystal’s guitar.
As soon as Randy Jackson referred to the instrument as a didgeridoo, I recalled that previous post and the research that revealed to one European doctor that playing a didgeridoo seemed to help stop snoring. She believed the muscles required to play such an instrument received such a workout as to improve their strength and correct the weakened soft palate and uvula that can cause snoring.
Once you see the instrument, you can see why you’d develop strong throat muscles playing the didgeridoo. It must take quite some force to get the air flow to reach the end where the tone comes out.
Since I’ve never seen a didgeridoo in the stores, it’s an unlikely solution to snoring for most. However, that’s why a set of snoring exercise that mimic the actions of playing a musical instrument have been developed. It’s far less expensive to buy the exercise package than to buy a horn of any type (ever had to rent a saxophone for a child in school?!)
That’s the hard part about snoring. Some solutions require that you buy an ongoing supply of product. A box of stop snoring strips can cost about $5 for a box of 10 strips. That comes out to $.50 per strip and you need to wear one every night. Total that up for a year and you’re talking about $182.50 PER YEAR for snoring strips. It adds up, doesn’t it?
When you’re looking for a solution to fix your snoring, don’t forget to take the overall cost into account. There are usually a number of products for each kind of snoring but they don’t all cost the same. Look for the one that works the best for you AND is the least expensive.
If you can use exercises to stop snoring with a package program that has a one time cost of $50, you’ll be saving yourself a great deal of money over time.
