Stop-snoring devices are one of the many miracles of modern medical technology.
You can now visit your local drug store and purchase any number of over-the-counter devices to help you stop snoring.
But should you really be investing in these? Here are 3 reasons why you should actually avoid the use of stop-snoring devices:

1. They do not offer any type of permanent fix for your snoring problem.
   Somewhat analogous is the idea that modern pain killers do nothing to actually cure the cause of the pain, but merely dulls the pain receptors that are causing you to feel the pain.
   In a similar vein, stop-snoring devices don't actually do anything to address the underlying problem that is causing you to snore in the first place.
   All they do is placate your partner who is unable to get a good night's sleep thanks to your snoring.
   They suppress the actual causes of snoring.
   But its effectiveness is only good for one night's use at a time.
   Forget to use these devices even for one night, and your snoring will come back right away (because you never actually eliminated it in the first place).
   
2. These devices can also interfere with your intimacy.
   How are you expecting things to heat up in the bedroom if you are wearing a mouth guard, a chin strap, or a nasal strip to bed with you, or you just sprayed some anti-snore spray into your throat? These can be absolute mood killers.
   
3. Cost is another reason to avoid using stop-snoring devices.
   Most over-the-counter anti-snoring devices are disposable, consumable goods that you would have to keep buying.
   Of course the anti-snoring products industry would love to keep you as a repeat customer for life.
