Scientist Invents Computerized Pillow To Stop Snoring

Snoring has long been the nuisance for married couples. A German scientist, Daryoush Bazargani, has come up with a solution for snoring. He, a computer science professor at the Rostock University, Germany, presented a computerized pillow that can stop you from snoring.

This computerized pillow is supposed to prevent or reduce snoring in the person by shifting the sleeping position of the head until the snoring sound stops. The pillow is connected to a computer, which is of the size of book and analyses noises of snoring.

The pillow consists of five air compartments and these compartments are connected to computer. As the computer is of book size, it can easily be fitted on a night stand. The snoring noises of the person when sleeping on the pillow are captured through a microphone and analyzed by the computer.

When snoring noises are detected by the computer, the air compartments in the pillow constrict or enlarge to shift the sleeping position of the person. The person will not wake up, as the movements will be very small.

Due to the shift in position, the person’s airflow is increased thereby decreasing snoring. The sleeping position on the pillow by the computer continuously changes until the snoring sound stops. According to the studies, this computerized pillow has been proven successful for people who snore depending on the sleep position.

It reduces the snoring occurrence as well as prevents sleep apnea. As this is ergonomically designed, it is also used for neck massages.
