    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods of monitoring and reducing snore are discussed herein. Some embodiments may provide for a system including a snore detection module, a movement detection module, a control module, and an actuation module. The snore detection module may be configured to detect snore, such as by detecting vibrations caused by snoring. When snoring is detected, the control module may be configured to instruct the actuation module to apply stimulation to the user that is calibrated to cause the user to shift sleeping position without disturbing sleep. The movement detection module may be configured to monitor user movement. If the user fails to move in response to the actuation, the actuation module may increase the intensity of the actuation. If the user responds to the actuation, the process may be repeated after a predetermined delay to provide continuous snore monitoring and correction throughout user sleep.
