Sleep Study
We have provided the sleep studies below of the founder / Inventor of Zip Snore Graeme Walton, a 73 year old Vietnam Veteran, who had two clinical overnight sleep studies done to confirm that his anti-snore Patches do work and to show how effective the Zip Snore Anti Snore Patches are.
In the First Report you will note Continuous Snoring Ranging From Soft To Loud Intensity Was Noted. and 26.4 Periodic Leg Movements Occurred Per Hour Of Sleep And Contributed to 2.6 Arousals Per Hour Of Sleep
In the second report you will note that 1. No Snoring was noted, and 2. No periodic leg movements were noted. that shows that Graeme not only did not snore, but he also had a restful night’s sleep.
We have provided the sleep studies below. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Zip Snore team on 1300 352 259, or send us an email.

1 kgfm2, Epwo;tr, Score : 5-6/24.
Indications: Witnessed apnoeas, snoring.
The patient slept for 7:03 (hh:mm) mainly in the non-supine position and rated their quality of sleep as worse than usual. Sleep onset was rapid (2 min), latency to REM sleep was normal (87 min), and sleep efficiency was normal at 89.1%. Sleep staging identified slow-wave sleep as present in normal proportion (14% Total Sleep Time) and REM sleep as present in normal proportion (20% Total Sleep Time). Sleep architecture was fragmented with a total arousal index of 22.4. The majority of arousals were associated with respiratory events. 4.0 minutes of supine REM was recorded.
During sleep 83 apnoeas (68 obstructive, 2 mixed & 13 central) and 70 hypopnoeas were observed. The respiratory disturbance index overall was 21.7, including AHi of 21.7 (normal<5); in NREfvl sleep was 23.5; in REM sleep was 14.7; In the supine position was 42.8, and non-supine position was 19.3. The mean duration of apnoea and hypopnoea was 33 secs, the longest apnoea was 49 secs and the longest hypopnoea was 95 secs.
Average awake SpO2 was 96% and minimum Sp0 2 during sleep was 90% 0.1% of sleep time was spent below 90% saturation. Blood pressure on retiring was 140/87 mmHg; on waking was 138/83 mmHg.
Overall moderate obstructive sleep apnoea associated with mild sleep fragmentation but no significant oxygen desaturation. Severity of sleep apnoea increased during supine sleep. Frequent periodic limb movements not associated with significant sleep fragmentation. Cardiac rhythm was sinus.

1 kgfm2, Epwo;tr, Score : 5-6/24.
Indications:Snoring, apnoeas, ROI on previous diagnostic study was 21.7 reassess with Zip Snore Anti Snore Patch applied.
The patient slept for 5:43 (hh:mm) mainly in the non-supine position and rated their quality of sleep as same as usual. Sleep onset was rapid (2 mi), latency to REM sleep was rapid (28 min) and sleep efficiency was reduced at 68. 7%. Sleep staging identified slow-wave sleep as present in reduced proportion (8% Total Sleep Time) and REiVl sleep as present in normal proportion (23% Total Sleep Time). Sleep architecture was fragmented with a total arousal index of 30.2. The majority of arousals were associated with respiratory events. 6.0 minutes of supine REM were recorded.
During sleep 58 apnoeas (26 obstructive, 19 mixec! & 13 central) and 79 hypopnoeas were obseNed. The respiratory disturbam;e index overall was ‘.23.9, including AHi of 23.9 (normal<5), in NREM sleep was 27.7; in REM sleep was 11.8: in the supine position was 46.4, and non supine position was 11.0. The mean duration of apnoea and hypcpnoea was 28 secs, the longest apnoea was 55 secs and the longest hypopnoea was 55 secs.
Average awake SpO2 was 94% and minimum SpO2 during sleep ·•Nas 84% . 3 .1% cf sleep time was spent below 90% saturation. Blood pressure on retiring was 118/68 mmHg; on waking was 116/72 mmHg.
Overall Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Associated With Moderate Sleep Fragmentation And Moderate Oxygen Desaturation. , Severe Sleep Apnoea Present During Supine Sleep. No Periodic Limb Movements Cardiac Rhythm Was Sinus. Patient Wore ‘Zip Snore Anti Snore Patch’ During Study.
