Experiment with face magnets for better sleep: Outcome revealed
In the realm of sleep aids, a new contender has emerged - Airo. This device, designed to improve breathing and sleep, has been making waves due to its unique design and claims.
The device, a curved piece of hard plastic with magnets on both ends, works by attaching to smaller magnets that are stuck to the face, one on either side of the nose, just above the nostrils. Airo claims to reduce snoring in real time and double nasal airflow, offering a promising solution for those troubled by nightly disturbances.
The subject of our test was a 43-year-old male snorer. His sleep data was tracked using an Apple Watch, while qualitative data was provided by his spouse. The test involved using Airo during the night and comparing the results to his regular sleep patterns.
However, the results were mixed. While the Apple Watch data indicated that the subject got 30 minutes more REM sleep and 20 minutes more deep sleep when using Airo, his wife reported that the device did not work the night after its first use. The subject himself has not noticed a significant difference in sleep quality, for better or worse, with or without Airo.
One of the key concerns during exercise was the adhesive slipping as the subject began to sweat, causing the Airo to jiggle over the nose. This issue, while not affecting the sleep data, could potentially impact the comfort and effectiveness of the device during the night.
Despite the mixed results, the subject's wife is interested in a longer-term trial of Airo. She points out that nasal strips, including Airo's magnetic strips, can help open up the airway, as explained by rhinology expert Andrews.
It's important to note that Airo may not be suitable for everyone. For instance, those with a deviated septum, a condition that can cause snoring, sleep apnea, breathing problems, and disordered smell, may find the device less effective due to the obstruction of airways.
Airo retails for £60, making it a significant investment for those seeking a solution to their snoring and sleep issues. However, for those who find relief from their symptoms, the price may be worth it.
In conclusion, while Airo shows promise in improving sleep and reducing snoring, its effectiveness varies from person to person. For those considering Airo, it's essential to weigh the benefits against the cost and potential drawbacks. As with any health-related decision, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before making a choice.
