Amazon.com Review

Ralph Schoenstein has made it his personal quest not only to cure his own snoring, but to investigate everything about the dreaded phenomenon. The author combines humor (ongoing dialogues with his long-suffering wife keep us abreast of his progress) with the most recent reports from the evolving science of otolaryngology; seven eminent physicians have lent their time and knowledge to his study.

You'll discover the most common causes of snoring: a long uvula and a small upper airway; you'll learn entertaining facts: "Normal speech is about forty decibels of loudness and a baby crying about sixty. Loud snorers, however, can hit eighty decibels, which is about the same volume as a jack-hammer or the barking of a dog"; and you'll discover the range of the problem, from the light to the life-threatening, plus myriad gimmicks, clinics, and pills. And Schoenstein gives a thorough rundown on cures, from the low-impact to the drastic (i.e., laser surgery). Stop the Snoring is up-to-date, fun to read, and reliable--only those treatments that have been thoroughly tested are recommended. A list of every sleep disorder center in America is also included for those serious about stopping the snoring once and for all.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Honest Look at Snoring, April 28, 2000

This review is from: Stop the Snoring!: At Last, End Your Mate's Nocturnal Noise (Mass Market Paperback)

This was a very honest book about snoring and the problems it causes. I snore and I know I snore loud. Girlfriends, family, and roommates have suffered greatly as a result. I liked this book because the author was very honest about his snoring problem and the problems it creates for others. It is a short book and does not take long to read. I also enjoyed how the author fairly evaluated the many "so called" snoring treatments out there. Masks, surgery, nose strips, tennis balls, all "supposed" cures which did not work for the author or most snorers. Sadly the author had no answers to cure snoring and unfortunately that is the reality. However, kudos for the author for openly discussing a problem many of us suffer from but are embarrassed to talk about.
