My wife Shelley and I are the owners of Rowarth Design Ltd.

Shelley began complaining about my snoring back when I was in my mid-forties. Aside from the times when she would wake me from deep sleep, there would be times when I would be lying in bed, thinking about something (as you do) and she would nudge me and tell me to stop snoring.

At first I thought she was dreaming, but it kept happening, and when she started referring to me as \"Mike the Bike\" (because I sounded like a Harley Davidson!) I decided to do a bit of research. I found out that it is very common to be in a state of consciousness while lying in bed in which your brain can be fully active (thinking about something) and yet you are actually snoring your head off and you are totally unaware of it.

Once I had reluctantly accepted that she wasn't dreaming and I was actually snoring, I embarked on a long, expensive and frustrating journey to find my snoring solution. I found that the retail market and the internet were awash with different stop snoring dental devices and other solutions.

One by one I checked them all out and found there wasn't a single stop snoring device, which ticked all the boxes. If it wasn't prohibitively expensive, it was uncomfortable or oppressive to use, or it simply didn't work.

I figured there had to be a better way. I am a toolmaker by trade and my entire career has been spent in manufacturing, production engineering and product design, so I resolved to design a snoring and sleep apnoea prevention device which did tick all the boxes. I invested in a 3D printer to test my designs and set to work. Over one hundred prototypes later, the design we have decided to call The Silent Treatment stood out from the others like a lighthouse on a dark night. Eureka!
