Abstract :
Reducing Snoring Pillow is a science project in the field of Technology and computers. The objective is to create a pillow that can reduce the snoring of sleepers by using the technology to apply together. Through the cause of snoring is caused by the slack of the muscles around the pharynx and back wall of the throat while sleeping, This results in the obstruction of the respiratory tract at some point causing muscle vibrations and turning into snoring.
The project organizers have decided to consider noise and vibration in the nape of the neck to determine whether the sleeper is snoring or not. Including the use of pressure sensing devices to determine where the user is lying on the pillow before inflating the air into the airbag installed under the pillow to allow the pillow to gradually increase in height for the sleeper to change the position of the head while lying down this will cause the sleeper's airway to be structured open and thus the sleeper's snoring sound disappears without waking the sleeper.
As a result of the project, it was found that the sleep quality of volunteers who have normal snoring problems compared to those using and not using the Reducing Snoring Pillow. There was a decrease in the frequency of snoring and a tendency to change for the better without causing the sleeper to wake up while sleeping, it can also be used with pillow shapes and other materials without affecting the performance of the device or compromising sleeper comfort, this makes the Reducing Snoring Pillow suitable for sleepers who suffer from the snoring of all ages, and it can also be used with all types of pillows.
