This popped up as a recent recommendation on my Kindle, and it was cheap so I snapped it up. And started reading it... in the snoring room, where I sleep most nights.
This is one of those books where I struggle to even acknowledge it as a book. It's really short, but even at that, 97% of it is guff. A lot of self-help books of this calibre are like this, mostly guff and then a few pages containing what you actually bought the book for. The book has an odd tone; most of it is chastising you for "voluntarily snoring" and puts you in the same camp as people who voluntarily smoke, or binge drink. So most of the book is either telling you what you already know or chastising you for bad sleep habits.
And then there are a few pages of exercises. That's all you need. More of a blog post than a book. Remains to be seen if the exercises actually work.

Strange to find out that snoring is often a voluntary habit that can be unlearned.

If you can get past the tone that it's written in, it's quite a good book. Convincing in the reasons why you need to quit snoring (apparently it's a voluntary action!!!), as are many other things:
"Being overweight is no different to any other bad habit. While you might be genetically predisposed to retaining weight (the big-boned argument), the choice to consume high-calorie nutritionally devoid foods is entirely yours to make." Excuse me, did he just call me a fat pig?
He also assumes that you've never even considered doing something about your snoring before today:
"..many of you who are reading this book will have heard of, probably literally, snoring. Most of you won't know what sleep Apnoea is." You're kidding right? How ignorant does he think his readers are? I didn't start snoring yesterday, I have the ability to Google, and I have a GP. Also, it's becoming such a common thing to test for, a local pharmacy was offering free testing month for sleep Apnoea, and there's a CPAP shop in my local shopping centre.
Once you get past the condescending tone (the books sounds like it's been written by a skinny guy who's never snored a day in his life) there is some quite useful information in there - why snoring happens, stages of sleep, why it's important to have enough deep rest (not just light sleeping), exercises to improve/tighten the tongue, soft palate and lower throat.
It's a very short book - 76 pages in all, but with very short chapters, and each chapter starting with a Chapter heading page followed by a blank page - it's about 45 pages of actual text. Thankfully I didn't pay for it, but borrowed it from my local library. I read it in less than an hour.
The exercises at the end feel like they were designed by an employee of Youtube with a penchant for installing hidden cameras. Do they work, only time will tell.

Well, let’s hope this actually works. The information is very interesting. Now to see if I can get the snorer in my life to do the exercises.

A very short book on a big subject. It assumes that the reader has not really thought or done much to stop snoring. So it outlines what snoring is and the negative effects that it has on you. In the final chapter it covers 9 exercises that will help. Overall a very expensive book, given that what you need to do is covered on 4 pages which could have been found on the internet if you knew where to look.
A good and worthwhile book if this is the first time you have thought of doing something to stop snoring, not so good if you have already been reading round the subject.

The book includes some exercises to do. I did it. And i didnt snore that night. Next night i got proud. I didnt do the exercise. I snored the next night. The exercises isnt too easy tbh but i guess its easier than getting a surgery.

Very slight and rather patronising but if daily reputation of the exercises help stop snoring it is worth reading.
