The FDA has approved a device worn during the day that strengthens the tongue in an effort to reduce the snoring associated with mild sleep apnea.
Experts note the device does not help people with moderate or severe sleep apnea.
However, they say any assistance for people with relatively minor snoring issues is welcome.
If you strengthen your tongue, can you avoid having to use bulky equipment on your face to reduce snoring while you sleep?
