I am a snorer. This should not be taken to mean that I make soft, puppy-like growling sounds in the back of my throat as I sleep. In fact, if you happened to hold that puppy up within six inches of my face while I sawed logs, it is likely that all of the flesh, fur and musculature of that baby dog would be vortexed off its skeleton only to become lodged in the yawning chasms of my throat and nostrils. My snore is the sound of the Seventh Seal being opened, or the universe tearing itself asunder. In all probability? You have never heard anything like me.
So imagine my poor girlfriend, who sleeps next to me every night as the bed vibrates, the house shakes and the ceiling buckles with my snoring. As you might well imagine, she’s eager for me to do something about my snoring.
And what do you know? There’s a new app for just that. It’s called Snorelab.
Snorelab works similarly to a lot of sleep tracking apps, only recording sound instead of tracking movement through the accelerometer. You set it up near you when you go to bed, and every time you snore, Snorelab measures the loudness and records your snore for posterity, tracking it all on a graph that shows you when you snored the most, when you were quietest, how long it took you to fall asleep and more.
Wait. “Record your snores?” you ask. Indeed. The idea here is that you can playback your snores later, not just for comic effect, but to show a sleep specialist before you arrange to go in for a sleep test.
The idea with Snorelab is to try to help chronic snorers like me figure out what’s working and what isn’t. Seems like a pretty great app to me, but I’m prejudiced: my snoring killed a small bird the other day who happened to land on the sill while I slept.
Snorelab is on sale right now for $4.
