It's important to keep the nasal passages as open as possible during sleep to reduce snoring and congestion and maximize airflow for higher quality rest. Anti-snoring nasal strips, or nose strips such as BreatheRight, can partially open the airway, but a nasal dilator for snoring, such as ZQuiet Breathe , is more effective because it opens the airway by gently pushing from the inside of your nostril to increase airflow by 58%.
