For all the people who have suffered in silence while their partner snored away all night here is some news. A German scientist, who claims to have a snoring problem himself, has invented a pillow that solves the problem of snoring.

According to Daryoush Bazargani, the professor who invented the pillow, the pillow shifts the person’s head until the snoring stops. This is a really good solution because it does not involve any medication and actually supports the head of the snorer and is therefore more effective in controlling snoring.

Daryoush Bazargani is a professor of computer science at the University of Rostock.

Bazargani unveiled a prototype of his pillow at a health conference in Germany. He explained to Reuters that

“The pillow is attached to a computer, which is the size of a book, rests on a bedside table, and analyses snoring noises. The computer then reduces or enlarges air compartments within the pillow to facilitate nasal airflow to minimize snoring as the user shifts during sleep.”

An added bonus for all the snoring sleepy heads is that the ergonomic pillow can also be used for neck massages.

According to Bazargani, already several U.S. firms have shown interest in manufacturing the pillow. And who wouldn’t want to take advantage of such an invention when according to some statistics on snoring, at least 30% of adults and as many as 50% people in some demographics snore. That seems like a huge amount of people and perhaps a good market for the professor’s new invention. More than the snorers, it’s their partners who will be thankful to Bazargani for his invention, which come to think of it, makes a really nice gift idea!
