HOW NORA WORKS
Smart Nora is a contact-free snoring solution
that’s designed to stop snoring without waking
up the snorer or their partner.
Nora’s Pebble, a microphone equipped with
smart detection algorithms, listens for sounds
of snoring. Upon detecting multiple snores,
the Pebble activates the silent pump in the
Base, to gently inflate and deflate the Pillow
Insert. This slight and unnoticeable movement
interrupts your snoring.

Nights 4–7
Your body will adjust to the movements
and over time, you will notice Nora less
and less.
Nights 7+
Nora will fade into the background and
you will barely notice it.
Nights 1–3
As your partner becomes accustomed
to using Smart Nora, you will notice a
reduction in intensity and frequency
of their snoring. If you bedroom is ex-
tremely quiet, you might notice the faint
sound of the pump. But this will soon
fade into the background.
Nights 3+
Your partner will be used to Smart Nora
and you can both enjoy improved
quality of sleep.

EFFECTS OF NORA
WHY WE SNORE
Snoring is the result of our airways collapsing as the upper throat
muscles relax during sleep. When we breathe through the narrowed
airway, we create vibrations that are heard as snoring.
WHY NORA IS EFFECTIVE
Nora detects early sounds of snoring and gently moves your head by
activating a silent pump that inflates and deflates the padded insert
sitting under your pillow.
This slight movement stimulates the relaxed throat muscles and as a
result, the airway assumes its natural position, allowing you to breathe
normally once again. This movement lasts about 1 minute, and during
this time the device does not activate with sounds of snoring.
