Snoring is something many people experience, but that doesn’t mean you simply have to put up with it. If you’re looking for a way to reduce snoring without bulky equipment or complicated routines, Zeus could be for you.

But what exactly is Zeus, how does it work, and could it be suitable for your snoring?

What is the Zeus Anti-Snoring Device?

Zeus is a discreet, non-invasive anti-snoring device designed to help reduce snoring by gently stimulating the muscles underneath the chin while you sleep.

The device uses mild electrical stimulation to target muscles involved in maintaining the position of the tongue and supporting the upper airway. By helping these muscles remain active during sleep, Zeus is designed to support a more open airway and reduce the vibrations associated with snoring.

Unlike some other snoring solutions, Zeus doesn't require a bulky machine, mask or mouthpiece. It is placed underneath the chin using a hydrogel pad and can become part of your usual bedtime routine.

Why does snoring happen?

To understand how Zeus works, it helps to understand why we snore in the first place.

When we fall asleep, the muscles in our throat and around our tongue naturally relax. In some people, this relaxation can cause the airway to become narrower. As air passes through the narrowed airway, the surrounding soft tissues can vibrate, producing the familiar sound of snoring.

For some people, the tongue can also move backwards during sleep and contribute to narrowing of the upper airway.

This is where Zeus is designed to help.

What makes Zeus different?

There are a number of different anti-snoring treatments and snoring solutions available, from lifestyle changes and nasal products to mouthpieces and other devices.

Zeus takes a different approach by using gentle electrical stimulation to target the muscles underneath the chin while you sleep.

It is small, discreet and designed to be simple to incorporate into your bedtime routine.

Developed in collaboration with the NHS, Zeus is the result of over 15 years of research and development, with clinical trials conducted in partnership with King’s College London and Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust.

Zeus uses patented TENS technology to gently stimulate the tongue and upper airway muscles while you sleep. By supporting these muscles throughout the night, Zeus is designed to help maintain airway stability, improve airflow and reduce the vibrations that cause snoring.

The technology has been developed specifically to target the underlying muscle activity associated with snoring, rather than simply masking the sound.

Zeus is supported by clinical evidence, with research showing reductions in snoring and improvements in sleep quality.

Could Zeus be right for you?

If you experience regular snoring and are looking for a non-invasive snoring solution, Zeus may be an option to consider.

However, snoring can have many different causes, so what works for one person may not work for another. If your snoring is frequent, particularly loud, or accompanied by other symptoms, it is important to consider whether there could be an underlying sleep disorder.

How Does the Zeus Anti-Snoring Device Work?

It’s actually quite simple. Zeus provides a discreet and non-invasive way to help reduce snoring. If your snoring is caused by the relaxation of the tongue and upper airway muscles during sleep, Zeus may help support your airway and make your nights a little quieter.

It can easily be added to your usual bedtime routine, giving you a simple option to try without bulky equipment or complicated setup.

Here’s how it works:

1. Place the device under your chin

Before going to bed, place the Zeus device underneath your chin using the hydrogel pad provided. The device sits against the skin and targets the muscles that help support your upper airway.

2. Switch Zeus on

Once the device is in place, switch it on and choose a stimulation level that feels comfortable for you. The stimulation is gentle and designed to work while you sleep.

3. Zeus gently stimulates the muscles

During the night, Zeus sends small electrical pulses to the muscles underneath your chin, including the genioglossus muscle. This muscle plays a role in controlling the position of your tongue.

4. It helps keep the tongue in a forward position

When we fall asleep, the muscles around the tongue and throat naturally relax. For some people, this can cause the tongue to move backwards and narrow the airway. Zeus helps to keep these muscles active, supporting the tongue in a more forward position.

5. This helps support airflow

With the tongue and surrounding muscles supported, the aim is to reduce narrowing in the upper airway and allow air to move through more easily.

6. This can help reduce snoring

When the airway becomes narrow, the soft tissues around it can vibrate as you breathe, which is what creates the sound of snoring. By helping to support the airway, Zeus is designed to reduce these vibrations and help minimise snoring.

7. Use it as part of your normal bedtime routine

One of the benefits of Zeus is that there’s very little to do. Simply position the device under your chin, switch it on and let it work while you sleep.

Safety & Suitability

The Zeus Anti-Snoring Device is intended for snoring and is not a treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). If you experience symptoms such as loud, persistent snoring, breathing pauses during sleep, gasping or choking at night, or excessive daytime sleepiness, speak to your GP or a qualified healthcare professional about whether further assessment for sleep apnoea is appropriate.

You can check out our Home Sleep Test page for more information about assessments.

Do not use Zeus if you:

• Have facial hair under the chin that prevents proper adhesion
• Have a pacemaker or implanted medical device
• Have epilepsy, heart conditions or a history of DVT
• Have cancer or recent surgery scars on the neck or chin
• Have broken or infected skin on the neck or chin
• Are using another electrical or sleep-related device

Seek medical advice before use if you:

• Have severe mental illness, Alzheimer’s, dementia or memory impairment

Before using Zeus, read the manufacturer's instructions and check that the device is suitable for you. If irritation or discomfort occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

For full safety and contraindication information, please refer to the User Guide.
