Abstract: A device and method to alleviate obstructive sleep apnea and/or snoring and/or insomnia through the use of vibration. The device may be worn in one of several configurations to stimulate the hypoglossal and/or glossopharyngeal nerves, the genioglossus muscle and other muscles of the neck and throat to prevent airway obstruction during sleep. The device may also be worn as a relaxation mechanism that will help alleviate insomnia and promote general relaxation.
