How It Works
Introducing sleepGUARD 3™
The sleepGUARD 3 is our revolutionary, custom-fitted oral appliance designed to provide relief from snoring and facilitate better sleep. Engineered from patient insights and clinically validated published studies, sleepGUARD 3 comfortably repositions your tongue during sleep, ensuring an open airway and promoting uninterrupted breathing.
How it works:
The sleepGUARD 3 gently holds your tongue in a slightly forward position, preventing the airway from collapsing during sleep. This simple yet effective mechanism reduces or eliminates snoring and allows for uninterrupted breathing, leading to significant improvements in sleep quality and overall health.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Rinse Before Use
Rinse the sleepGUARD 3.0 with hot water before each use to soften the material and make it easier to fit. Make sure the small V-shaped notch faces downward—this is where your tongue’s center string (lingual frenulum) sits.
2. Insert the Tongue
Gently slide your tongue into the device until it touches the inner walls.
3. Create Gentle Suction
Lightly squeeze the top and bottom of the bulb using your thumb and forefinger, then release your fingers to create suction. This pulls your tongue into position.
- Too tight? Reduce suction.
- Too loose? Add a bit more suction. Find the balance that feels secure and comfortable.
4. Test the Fit
When first starting out, try wearing the device for about 10 minutes to get used to the sensation. Adjust suction as needed to find the most comfortable and secure fit.
5. Wear It Overnight
Once you’re comfortable with the fit, use sleepGUARD 3.0 while sleeping. Many users find it easiest to fit the device while standing or sitting upright before bed.
6. Removing the Device
To remove, press gently on both sides of the bulb to release the suction. You can also squeeze the bulb again to help loosen it.
Important Notes:
- A bit of initial discomfort is normal, this usually fades with regular use.
- Your tongue is flexible and safe; the device won't cause harm when used properly.
Cleaning & Care - sleepGUARD 3.0
- Daily Rinse: After each use, rinse with hot water.

Cleaning & Care - Travel Case
Regular Wipe-Down
Wipe the inside and outside of the case with a soft cloth dampened with warm, soapy water. This helps remove any dust, moisture, or residue.
Deep Clean (Weekly or As Needed)
Once a week or after travel, give the case a more thorough clean:
- Wash with mild soap and warm water.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
- Dry completely with a clean towel or allow to air dry.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Do not use alcohol-based cleaners, bleach, or disinfectant sprays. These can degrade the material over time and may leave harmful residues.
Ventilation Matters
Always let both the case and the sleepGUARD 3.0 air dry completely before storing. This prevents moisture buildup and extends the life of the device.
