Wristbands against Snoring

Q. My husband has complained about my noisy breathing during the night because it sometimes kept him up. On your website there is a tip from a man who used the wrist bands for sea-sickness to help with his snoring instead. That has really worked for me.
The plastic knob on the band presses on the acupressure point on my wrists. My husband says it has quieted my breathing and I sleep much better. I never go to sleep without putting them on now!

A. Thanks for the testimonial. These elastic wrist bands have a plastic button designed to press on an acupressure point. A few studies on acupressure for insomnia have been done in Taiwan and Korea (International Journal of Nursing Studies, July, 2010) and show that it helps.
