Most people (including many doctors), don't understand why we snore. There is so much poor information about it that it is not surprising that there is a lot of confusion about the topic. I am going to try and explain the very basics of snoring so that you have a framework upon which to base what therapies might work for you. In particular I will try and explain the concept of turbulence in snoring treatment.
Sadly this video won't make you an expert, but i'm hoping you will avoid spending money on random devices on amazon and have a clearer understanding of what needs to be done.

SNOREDOCTOR APP
This is my new app that helps people record and analyse their snoring at night. It is completely free (no ads, no paywalls, no personal data is collected). Please use the links below:

CHARITY NFTs
I am going to start making a collection of NFTs about environmental projects I am passionate about. They aren't for sale yet, but once I have a few I will put them on the blockchain. All profits will be donated to charities. This first one is about plastic in the sea, and I will find a charity that will accept a crypto donation. I will also make a video one day explaining the benefits of NFTs. It also gives me a chance to flex some artistic brain cells I haven't used in many many years.
