Well, I don't think the cause of your snoring matters as it doesn't treat that. All it does is cancel out the noise by using opposing sound waves. It's not a snoring "treatment", it's a "stop driving your wife crazy with your snoring" device.

What I want to know (having a background in science) is how they can match varying amplitudes and frequencies heard in snoring in real time..

Yeah, having a background in healthcare I get that it's not a cure, lol. I'm interested in the, supposed, efficacy with irregular snoring and gasp like snoring associated especially with OSA and in part UAI. I wonder how much power it uses, and ponder the idea of having lithium-oxygen batteries this close to a body orifice. I wonder if it's a good idea to have this device so close to your CNS in general.

Vanity / marriage is a powerful drivingforce :)

Also there are options to explore if it's, say, a turbulence based nasal stenosis snoring.

I'd talk to an ENT first :D

I think it would be super easy. You put a hinge in the middle of a drum stick in between two drums and when it beats on the outside it sucks back equal and opposite on the inside. I should know, i designed noise canceling headphones for nasa

I prefer my girlfriend not cook anything. I'm a better cook in every way. Luckily, I enjoy cooking, but she's dangerous in the kitchen.

My wife keeps her spices in alphabetical order in the shelf.

I do not touch things in the kitchen

Well, if you had an outer membrane then it wouldn't be beyond our abilities I think to capture a pattern from an outer membrane and then reverse an reverse the polarity on inner membrane. It wouldn't be perfect, but it would cancel out a lot of the vibration and probably mute it enough that it was below the level of real recognition.

That seems overly complicated though.

I actually wasn't that far off. but they don't use a membrane, they use good old fashioned styrofoam and a two microphones.

The last couple years, winter time, have been awful with the snoring thing. I'm a pretty light sleeper to begin with and his snoring + the cats made it hell. Will have to look into it.

As per Noodle story:

I'll readily admit I'm a dumbass and used to browse Cosmopolitan in the check-out line at the market. Those awful '40 Ways to Wow Your Man' columns? Yeah, would read those. It was always good for a laugh when it got ridiculous and suggested things like 'take a pearl necklace and wrap it around his shaft', but there was one that was like 'wake your man up with sex. He'll love it!' Okay, says I. I'll try it.

He sleeps like a corpse. It's 3 in the morning, he's got work in 4 hours, I reach over and apparently he's having a good dream because he seems ready to go...then he mumbles something unintelligible and rolls over the other way so I can't get at him. I was absolutely obliterated, mind and soul. Cue him being confused as hell when he gets home from work that day and I'm mad at him for no reason. Man, that ended up being a stupid argument.

Why be obliterated when he clearly had no idea? Just roll his big ass over and hop on. Not a man alive is gonna say no.

In retrospect, yeah, should've just gone with it. Not going to say its universal but I get the feeling that perceived rejection/ambivalence from one's SO factors pretty high up on the list of things that women go batshit over, and I'm not too proud to say I was no different in that particular instance.

How do you think men feel when women straight up tell you to fuck off when you make sexual overtures, and how often do you think it happens?

This explains why I trigger The Crazy so often. I've been known to reject sex for video games and am frequently emotionally ambivalent. Nothing makes a women go apeshit more than having an offer of sex rejected or not getting enough attention. Telling them "well now you know how it feels to be a man" is generally not helpful either.

This, so much. Every now and then I tell myself I'm gonna turn the wife down just to make the point. But lets be honest, unless I'm super busy with work I'm not turning it down. Pussy > pride

But its fucked up when you sit down and think about it. How many other things that are important in a relationship do we accept one person unilaterally vetoing? "Fuck no honey, I'm not washing any dishes". "Fuck no, we're not buying a dog". "Fuck no, I'm not gonna give you a foot rub". "Fuck no, we're not gonna buy new drapes". No, all of these are topics for discussion.

But "Fuck no, we're not having sex tonight" is supposed to be OK when the woman says it, but is horribly mean and damn near unforgivable when the man says it.

(Obviously I'm not saying men should be able to override that veto, I'm saying unilateral vetos shouldnt be on the table in a marriage for any of these topics)

Now you know how it feels to be a man was worth a true gut laugh.

I'm remembering it and using it. Five sparkletots for you.

It probably feels bad, man. And it must happen a whole lot, considering how often people mention it as something women do. Sex can most certainly be a weapon and a bargaining chip, so withholding may end up being a lady's try at a passive-aggressive controlling technique or just a guilt-free way to mete out punishment. Don't condone it or practice it myself, but shit. I don't have to tell you why women do it, either, if you live with the shit.
