The makers of the Rem-A-Tee Anti-Snore Shirt would like to give away one of their new shirts to a Dethroner reader. We can do that.
Frustrated by his failure to treat his own snoring, Sean created a prototype using the age-old idea that putting a tennis ball under your back at night will encourage you to sleep on your side –a position that doctors say opens airways and limits snoring. Twenty prototypes later, Sean perfected the Anti-Snore Shirt and now he and his partner enjoy a restful night’s sleep.
I don’t want to just give one away, though. That doesn’t help the rest of us. (Although, inexplicably, I don’t have a huge problem snoring. Yet.) Tell me why your snoring is so bad you’d need a shirt like the Rem-A-Tee in the comments. I’ll pick the worst offender and have them send you a shirt…if you promise to send us back a short review after a couple of weeks.
I’ll shut down comments at the end of the day and declare a winner.
Well my snoring was so bad my fiancee’s sister refused to sleep at home when I was around, and I actually woke up her mother who was downstairs.
Turned out I had sleep apnea, which is a very common reason for snoring. There are in honest truth very few ways to stop “real” snorers, ones who have a medical condition that causes their snoring. The simplest is STOP BEING A FATTY. Since losing 40 pounds my snoring is practically gone at this point, though I needed to use a CPAP machine until then. Nothing sexier at night that banging Darth Vader in his night clothes as my fiancee put it.
Other ways are through really invasive surgery (which does not always work) or a brand new FDA approved pillow that just hit the market. The problem with these people like myself is its not our position that causes the snoring, its the size of our neck and the opening for your wind pipe along with positioning at night that causes it. During the night it closes up, cutting off our oxygen supply and thus causing the snoring, as your body wakes up to tense the neck to take in air. Sever cases of sleep apnea WILL KILL you if untreated, as you can potentially choke to death in your sleep.
But I can see this shirt working for situational snorers. People who do not have a medical condition but occasionally snore. Or maybe really light cases of sleep apnea patients, but regardless of it, if your snoring as bad as I am where people are waking up or freaking out, you NEED to see a doc and get a sleep test performed on you.
hmmm. people who sleep with shirts on are creepy.
i sleep in the nude ..so this shirt would annoy the piss out of me.
i snore. my dad snored. his dad snored. his brother snores. Some tried the surgery, it doesn’t really work and is very painful. I have a hundred dollar pillow, i still snore. I’m not wearing an oxygen mask to sleep. I bring earplugs when i travel with friends so they can protect themselves.
My wife hates it. I’m not really fat. a little overweight maybe, but that isn’t the problem. I snore. give me a t shirt.
My husband snores so badly that I consider murder on a fairly regular basis. On a night where he drinks a couple of beers, I sleep downstairs…with earplugs. Sometimes the snoring is so bad that the dog starts growling at him, before ultimately retreating to the furtherst corner in the house.
Thankfully I haven’t even had the worst snoring experience with him. One year he went camping with a friend. They decided to sleep in the cab of his truck (which had a canopy). Apparently the entire cab was reverberating as the snores echoed off every metal wall. I’m surprised his friend didn’t just leave him in the forest – I would have.
Please give me a shirt for my husband so that the dog and I can get a good night’s sleep.
I snore, it’s true. I’m a bit rotund so chalk it up to that. But not as loud as my pug. He needs the shirt.
Ollie sleeps downstairs now because he snores loud enough to keep me and my wife up at night. I’d love to put him in this shirt so he can return to his rightful place.
I snore, but almost always sleep on my side. If not my side, it’s my stomach. Maybe if I wear the shirt backwards?
I think stu should get it by default. You’ve slept within a mile of him, correct?
[I second, actually - Alex]
Sierra it is!
I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, I went to a sleep clinic for this diagnosis and was told it was not severe enough to wear the mask solution.
However I was tprescribed a moth piece wich was supplied by my dentist, it comprised of two gum shields top and bottom with an ealastic clip on eah side that pulls the jaw forward.
This has worked wel, but now because of wearing it each night it has now pullde my jaw forward permanently. I do not want to get another unit as this may cause severe problems later.
The I dea of wearing one of your shirts intrigues me as I always wear pyjamas anyway.
Regards
Thats funny! Anti snore Tshirt and that too for give away. Devices to make you wake up in the middle of the night. how does that score better than snoring itself. Both won’t let you sleep the way you should be.
I had no idea i snored…. until one day my cousin moved in with me…. The POOR GUY cudnt sleep in the next room…
so he thinks i deserve the Tshirt

My boyfriend has multiple problems when he sleeps on his back. He had a traumatic brain injury when he was 18 years old, when he fell off a roof. He has made an amazing recover at the age of 31 now. I met him speed dating and I believe the reason he has never been able to keep a girlfriend too long is because of his snoring, sleep apnea and urination during sleep. When he lays on his side he has none of these symptoms. I love him, but this is getting old. Helps us with your shirt, PLEASE!!!!
yes 1992 a surgeon suggest that i have a deviated septum surgery .
come to find out this paticular surgery is stop because surgeons take to much
tissue out your nose and cause your soft palate to collaspe in you sleep an
obstuct your airway.
