A stop snoring chin strap wraps around the head, holding the chin in place. It is designed to be worn at night to prevent snoring by keeping one’s chin closed as they sleep. By keeping the mouth shut, this hopes to prevents air from travelling in and out of the mouth. This may be ideal for those who snore through their mouth, but would not prevent snoring for individuals who breathe through their nose [1].
Studies
Although there are a limited amount of studies that have been released on the effectiveness of chin straps specifically, they can still bring insight to the successfulness of these anti-snore devices.
In astudy analyzing the sleep patterns of 26 patients from the NJ Neuroscience Institute at JFK Medical Center, the efficacy of stop snoring chin straps were studied. The study concluded that the chinstrap alone did not improve sleep disordered breathing or snoring [2].

One consequence of our growing sleep debt is that a greater number of people are now struggling with excess weight and other metabolic problems than in previous times. That is because sleep and your metabolism are intricately connected.
Anyone who has ever attempted to improve the quality of their sleep knows the importance of setting a regular sleep schedule. And what that usually entails is going to bed at the same time each night and waking at an appropriate time each morning.
The ideal bedtime for most healthy adults is in the late evening, i.e. between 9 and 12 pm. That’s when the pressure to sleep naturally builds up. Going to bed at this time allows most people to meet their recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleep if they need to be awake by 7 am.
