Jacobs had been told for years that he snored while sleeping and read a study that stated snoring led to various health problems, so he set out to try to stop himself from doing it. One strategy he tried was a pillow billed as "anti-snore" that kept his head raised. "It's like sleeping on a giant Gummi bear," he wrote. "The neck pillow worked a bit. I've been tape-recording myself every night, and listening back in the morning. (Which is kind of creepy. I feel like I'm invading my own privacy.).... I noted about a 10 percent drop in snoring. Progress!"
