A computer pillow to help you stop snoring

All those who are deprived of their sleep, and want their

partners to get rid of their annoying snoring habit, can now breathe easy as a

German scientist has now come up with a solutiona computerized pillow that

shifts the heads sleeping position until the noise stops.

Daryoush Bazargani, professor of computer science at the

University of Rostock and the pillows inventor, was displaying a prototype of

his pillow at a health conference in Germany, a report in Reuters said.

"The pillow is attached to a computer, which is the size of

a book, rests on a bedside table, and analyses snoring noises," Bazargani

said. "The computer then reduces or enlarges air compartments within the

pillow to facilitate nasal airflow to minimize snoring as the user shifts during

sleep," he said. The ergonomic pillow can also be used for neck massages.

Bazargani said several US firms were interested in manufacturing the pillow.

"I invented it because I snore," he said. "I tried all sorts of

products, but nothing worked. I hope people who use it will sleep more

peacefully."
