SmartSleepSnoring Relief Band

First, this review is not part of a promotion. I needed help with snoring. A sleep study was negative for sleep apnea so my doctor advised me to stop sleeping on my back. He told me about the Philips device so I bought it. The first night I didn't activate the sleep sequence so I was a little concerned when I saw that I snored for 2 hrs and 16 minutes. After actually reading the instructions, my snoring went down from 56 mins, to 15 minutes, to 13 minutes and finally last night night to 0 minutes of snoring. Philips slowly increases the amount of vibrations you receive when going on to your back. Last night was night 5 for me and no more snoring. *Prepare yourself for side sleeping. Make sure you have the right pillow because your neck alignment is different than sleeping on your back. *Be prepared to say goodbye to sleeping on your back, kind of sad, but no more snoring is worth it for me and more importantly, my wife.

As a male that has snored for most of my adult life, this is the 1st product that actually works! I have tried head bands, chin straps, mouth guards, nose strips, you name name it..... My wife is the ultimate judge. In her words, " I finally am getting a full nights sleep, I do not hear ANY snoring" In addition to that there is nothing that I have to wear on my head, face, nose etc. I only have to wear the soft band around my mid-section. In the morning the device tells me how I did for the night. It tells me what % of the time I rolled over onto my stomach when prodded, how many hrs of total sleep and how much time I spent on my back, (if any). Great device, highly recommended. It is GREAT!! I will say, if you cant, won't or don't enjoy sleeping on your stomach, this is not for you.

I received the SleepSmart Snoring Relief Band for free to use. It is very easy to use and instructions are very clear. I did watch the how-to video which was extremely helpful and would recommend in addition to reading the instructions. The band is intended only for those who sleep on their backs and snore but snoring stops when you sleep on your side. The band has a sensor and a strap. The band is very comfortable to wear. The sensor records home many times you turned from your back to your side; how many hours you slept and how many hours you slept on your back. I found this information very interesting to learn about my sleep. Each time you sleep on your back the sensor will vibrate to tell you to sleep on your side, which will keep you from snoring. There is an adaption ease-in phase of 7 sleep sessions where the percentage of vibrations increase from 20% to 100% each time you sleep on your back. From the 8th session on the sensor will vibrate every time (100%) you sleep on your back. I really liked this feature as it did take me a few nights to get use to the device. By the 8th session, I always woke up on my side. I found the information that the device recorded to be extremely helpful. Aafter using the device for a month, the number of times I slept on my back had decreased significantly. The SleepSmart Snoring Relief Band really works for me. Not only does it help me to stop snoring during the night, but I feel more rested when I get up as well. I highly recommend this product for everyone who snores while sleeping on your back and stops when you sleep on your side.

The Philips Sleep smart Snoring Relief Band worked extremely well. The overall quality of the Band was a pleasant surprise. I anticipated that the band would be uncomfortable to wear, but it wasn`t. You wear it around the center of your chest. The band material was very strong but super soft! The digital readout was large and it was very easy to read the results. It displays your response rate in percentages, the number of hours you were in bed and how many hours you were sleeping on your back. I have snored all my life but predominantly while I`m lying on my back. If you are sleeping on your back and start to snore the snoring relief band will vibrate to alert you so you can turn on your side to stop snoring. The sensor has a self learning algorithm that optimizes the vibration level based on your response time. It will also change the vibration pattern every five days so you don`t get used to the vibration and stop responding to it. My overall experience of the Philips Snoring Relief Band was very positive.

Philips Sleep Smart Snoring Relief Band concerned me at first. I thought it would be uncomfortable to use and keep me up at night. It did the total opposite. The band was not uncomfortable and the front part on the chest I didn`t feel it for the most part. The band did vibrate when I rolled over on my back and the vibration was very light feeling and woke me up and had realized I needed to get on my side. I was able to go back to sleep pretty quickly afterwards.

I found the Philips SleepSmart Snoring Relief Band very easy to use, extremely effective at sensing snoring while sleeping on my back while sending gentle vibrations that continue until turned onto my side. This product has a comfortably soft, stretchable and adjustable belt that has extra length allowing for larger sizes. The sensor securely fits into the belt pouch and has a very long battery life and comes with detailed instructions on how to use the Philips SmartSleep Snoring Relief Band. So far I’ve went at least an entire month on a single charge. The sensor displays helpful insight of how many hours in bed, hours spent on back and response rate. The only issue I’ve noticed is that if you don’t stop the monitor upon waking, the sensor continues to measure position as if still sleeping and would vibrate a few times when I was awake lying on my back not sleeping or snoring but still would recieve a vibration alert until I pressed once holding down to turn the sensor off. This product has improved my quality of sleep that I get and I highly recommend the Philips SmartSleep Snoring Relief Band!

I didn’t think I was going to like using the Snoring Relief Band. I don’t like things around my chest or abdomen. They usually make me feel like I can’t breathe even when other people wouldn’t consider them tight at all. But the band is made of very soft material and even with it on tight enough not to move while I was sleeping I barely felt it! I snore when I’m on my back, it doesn’t usually wake me up, I don’t stop breathing, and I wasn’t aware of any problems due to my snoring, other than it annoyed my husband and did wake him up sometimes. So I was really surprised after the first night of using it, that I woke up feeling like I had slept sounder than normal. This continued for about the first 10 days of use. There was nothing else I could attribute my better sleep to. Then the holidays happened, and while I still used the band, my schedule was off, I experienced some insomnia after waking in the middle of the night, and it went back to feeling like my normal sleep. I’m curious to see if that sounder sleep feeling comes back now that the holidays are over and my schedule is returning to normal. I hope so, because that was a big perk I didn’t expect. It never occurred to me that my snoring could be having a detrimental impact on my sleep. My biggest complaint with the Snoring Relief Band is the electronics. Its on/off switch I found confusing. The first few days I used it, until I got used to how it worked, I was never sure if it was really on or not. You press it for 1 second to turn it on, but for 2 seconds to start a sleep cycle. You also hold it for 2 seconds to end a sleep cycle. To reset the sensor press and hold the button for 5 seconds. When you turn it off it displays the data for the most recent sleep cycle, and after a bit the display goes blank. I eventually figured it out, but it is not intuitive and I found it confusing at first. I had to go back and read the instructions multiple times to be sure I was doing it correctly. It provides you with 3 pieces of information after your sleep cycle. Response rate – how many times (in percentage) you turned from your back to your side after the sensor vibrated. Hours in bed – how many hours from when you pressed start to when you pressed stop. Hours on your back – how many hours you spent on your back. I really dislike that the response rate is in a percentage. What I want to know is how many times, as in a number, it vibrated because I was on my back, and how many times I responded. 100% of 1 time or 10 times, vs 85% of 2 times or 15 times, vs 66% of 3 times 12 times, tell me very different things. Just seeing 100% or 85% or 66% without the total number of times isn’t helpful. I wound up finding this number pretty much useless. Since I know when I went to bed and when I got up, the total hours in bed isn’t information that I don’t already have. The numbers of hours on my back could be helpful. Mine was almost always 0 or close to 0. Made me wonder if people sleep through the vibrations completely and don’t turn over. I’m hoping in future editions they’ll make changes to the electronics so that it is more intuitive to use and has better information for the wearer, but because it is so comfortable and easy to wear, and because it seemed to give me a better night’s sleep, I intend to keep using this. First though I’m going to give my husband a chance to try it out to see if he would like one.

I have tried this device because I was asked if I snore while on my back. I do; especially when I am congested. This product will help nudge you to move in your sleep so that you sleep in another position. The product does this by vibrating. It is noteworthy that the band will take a few uses to increase the intensity of the vibration. It took a bit to get used to wearing the belt, but it really was not that difficult to get used to. Overall, I think this is a great product for back sleepers who snore.

When the Snoring Relief Band first arrived, it took me a minute to figure out how to insert the device into the band. The indicator lights don`t show too well when the product is off, but I quickly figured how to set up the device and adjust it to fit me. The instruction book was easy to understand. The first night, I used the band, I had a hard time falling asleep because of the vibrations. However, I quickly got used to it. I was able to sleep better and my husband was happier because he didn`t have to keep nudging me.

I received this product to review and as a back sleeper I was very excited to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised, as was my wife, by the effectiveness of the snoring relief band! After being kicked multiple times in a night, I am sure you all know that feeling, I knew is was time to try something to help my wife and I sleep better. The setup was straight forward and came completely charged, ready for its first use. I inserted the electronic device into the band and tightened the band. The first night was a bit difficult to get used to having the vibrations on my chest. I would wake-up a bit confused, but would then realize what it was and roll over. After a couple of nights it became second nature to wear the band and I loved the stats that it gave you in the morning which include the remaining battery, time slept and percentage on your back. As the days went on, the percentage dropped each night. Additionally, the battery lasts for almost two weeks (7 hours per night), which means that you don`t need to worry about charging it often. A couple of tips for when you use this. First, the instructions show you wearing this over a shirt. I found this caused the band to shift throughout the night which was rather annoying. Having it directly on my chest and a bit higher ended up being the best solution and I was able to get used to wearing it without it shifting. Second, make sure that you actually turn it on. There is no indication that it is active once you turn it on. You will need to press and hold it until the sensor vibrates and shows the lines on the screen. A couple of nights, I realized that the sensor was not actually on. Overall, I was impressed with the SleepSmart Snoring Relief Band and will continue to wear it nightly.
