Emma is joined by Larry Shaw, the inventor of the Knightsbridge Dual Band Chin Strap.  

Together they discuss: 

* Larry's own personal journey with snoring and sleep apnea; 

* How his symptoms of increased daytime sleepiness mounted gradually over time; 

* Larry's reluctance to go to a doctor about his sleep apnea and his approach of trying to figure it out himself; 

* The impact of sleep problems on his relationships; 

* Trying chinstraps on the market to keep his mouth closed at night; 

* Coming up with a better design for the Knightsbridge Dual Band Chin Strap to keep the mouth closed without undue pressure being placed on the TMJ;
