The study found Smart Nora decreased the amount of snoring, in turn improving perceived sleep of both the individual who snores and their partner. Additionally, objective sleep measurements showed, as a result, partners of snorers spent less time awake during the night when Smart Nora was used.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Smart Nora is the contact-free and comfortable snoring solution that is designed to stop snoring without waking the snorer. Before snoring sounds disturb a sleeping partner, Smart Nora silently and gently raises the users\u2019 head using a soft pad that sits under their pillow. This slight movement triggers snoring to stop and allows for natural breathing to resume. The thoughtful design eliminates the need for any contact with the user\u2019s face, mouth, or nose. Tens of thousands of couples use Smart Nora every night.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The validation study completed by SleepScore Labs found that, when snorers used Smart Nora, their partners reported that the snoring was significantly less loud and less severe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne out of three adults snore, and some studies even report numbers as high as 86 percent of men and 57 percent of women<sup>1<\/sup>,\u201d said Roy Raymann, Ph.D., Vice President of Sleep Science and Scientific Affairs, SleepScore Labs. \u201cSevere snoring can cause frequent awakening and daytime sleepiness, but snoring can also disrupt the sleep of the partner. Our SleepScore Labs validation study revealed that Smart Nora can help both snorers and their partners in getting better sleep as a result of decreased snoring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSnoring can be a big social problem, but there isn\u2019t a one-size-fits-all solution,\u201d said Michiel Allessie, Vice President Snoring, SleepScore Labs. \u201cYou could be a nose snorer, a mouth snorer, a positional (back) snorer or a mixed snorer. Based on real data captured by our apps, SleepScore Labs suggests the right product to solve your specific snoring problem \u2013 and for many people, that could be Smart Nora.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the validation study, Smart Nora\u2019s were tested using SleepScore technology by ResMed and snoring detection technology by Sleep.ai by couples who cited snoring as a sleep disturbance. The data revealed the following findings:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Among partners, a 16 percent decrease in the objectively measured amount of time spent awake was observed when snorers used Smart Nora<\/li>\n<li>Partners\u2019 reported a 30 percent drop in sleep disruption due to snoring when their snoring partner was using Smart Nora<\/li>\n<li>Snorers reported improved sleep when using Smart Nora, including 38 percent fewer awakenings at night<\/li>\n<li>90 percent of snorers felt it was easy to fit Smart Nora into their nightly routine<\/li>\n<li>78 percent of snorers reported Smart Nora was better than alternate snoring solutions tried in the past<\/li>\n<li>72 percent of snorers would recommend Smart Nora to their close friends and family<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery single day we receive heartfelt thank you notes and \u201cYou saved our marriage!\u201d proclamations from our customers,\u201d said Behrouz Hariri, CEO and co-founder at Smart Nora. \u201cSleepScore\u2019s study is a great illustration of the lifestyle benefits that thousands of couples are experiencing with Smart Nora. We are especially interested in how sleep affects our relationships, intimacy, and mental wellbeing. Waking up refreshed and with energy for the day is a great boost for any relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SleepScore Labs is backed by 13 years of comprehensive research and development, including more than seven million nights of objective sleep data.
