Snoring is a nuisance for others, while OSAS (sleep apnea) is harmful to health and increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, traffic accidents and more. There are different types of remedies that are intended to treat these ailments. Many are of poor quality, whereas some are custom made for you, but they can be very expensive to acquire. With more than 30 years of experience in treating snoring, I have developed my own type that is effective, comfortable to use, works immedately, is ready to use in 1-2 days and is very affordable. I call it Amundsenskinne (Amundsen's appliance) as it has an effect on other disorders as well.
The Amundsen splint pushes the lower jaw forward a few millimeters and is fixed to the upper teeth - at the same time you can move the lower jaw freely to the sides and open your mouth wide as when you yawn. The cost is €400, which covers examination, fitting and follow-up. This is less than half of what you would pay for similar treatment elsewhere.
With daily cleaning, it can last for many years.
If you need to treat the teeth in the upper jaw, we will usually be able to adjust the splint afterwards.

How to Get Better Sleep in 3, 2, 1
A good night’s sleep is linked to your physical and mental health, and lack of sleep can lead to weight gain, high blood pressure, and memory loss. In fact, only a small percentage of us report waking up feeling refreshed. Is there a method that can help you get better sleep?
If your New Year’s resolution is to get better sleep, counting down the days may be more helpful than you think.
Keeping the same bedtime every night helps.
Psychologists now recommend a three, two, one sleep rule to get your best night’s sleep.
Three: Stop drinking alcohol three hours before bed. People who go to bed with alcohol in their system experience less REM sleep, which affects memory, creativity, and learning ability.
Two: Stop eating full meals two hours before bed. While a light, nutritious snack may be OK, lying down right after a meal can cause acid reflux as stomach contents push against the esophagus.
And one: stop drinking fluids an hour before bed. Too much fluid can lead to a bladder that wakes you up all night, disrupting your sleep cycle that will affect everything from your physical to your mental health.
Even people with partial sleep deprivation notice that they struggle with feelings of loneliness, extra stress, tension, anxiety, and so on.
So remember three, two, one, because ignoring it can be dangerous to your health!
Experts also recommend avoiding blue light and exercising after eight in the evening, in addition to lowering the temperature in your bedroom to around 18 degrees.
