How Back2Sleep Works
Back2Sleep™ is a soft intranasal stent inserted in seconds before bedtime. It gently reaches the soft palate and helps keep the airway open, allowing air to flow more freely and supporting quieter, more regular breathing throughout the night.
01
Unpack & wash your hands
Take everything out of the package and wash your hands.
02
Apply the lubricant
Put a little lubricating gel on the first 3 cm of the tube — never inside the tube.
03
Insert & check the position
Facing a mirror, gently slide the tube into one nostril, metal clip horizontal. Open your mouth — the tip should just poke past your soft palate. That means it’s positioned right.
04
Sleep
Go to sleep (max 10 hours). Next morning, gently pull the tube out.
05
Clean & store
Rinse by hand under warm water for ~30 sec until all mucus is gone, then disinfect 2 min in boiling water, fully submerged. Lift out with a strainer, let it cool and store in a clean, dry place.
Replace the tube every 30 days; check with a doctor before first use.

Back2Sleep™ FAQ
✓ How exactly does Back2Sleep™ work? +
Back2Sleep™ is a flexible intranasal stent that maintains a stable airway throughout the night.
It naturally bypasses the area that collapses (soft palate) and reduces obstructions that cause snoring and micro-awakenings.
No machine, no noise, no jaw movement – just a smoother airflow that lets you breathe and sleep soundly.
✓ Is it effective against snoring and sleep apnea? +
Back2Sleep™ helps many users suffering from mild to severe snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea (AHI 15–30) by improving airflow from the very first nights.
Results vary from person to person, but 92% of users report a noticeable improvement in their sleep.
✓ Is it comfortable? +
The medical-grade material used is extremely flexible, designed to disappear once in place.
The first few nights may feel new—this is normal. Most users report that they no longer feel it after a few minutes.
If discomfort persists, it is advisable to choose a more suitable size or seek advice from a professional.
✓ How to choose the right size? +
If you're a beginner:
Snorekit is essential. It contains: 4 sizes (S, M, L, XL), lubricant gel, and a step-by-step user guide.
You can test it at your own pace and keep the size that offers you the best comfort and effectiveness.
✓ What's in Snorekit? +
Everything you need to get started immediately:
4 intranasal stents (4 different sizes), soft lubricating gel, clear instructions for use, access to customer support.
This is the easiest and safest way to find your perfect size.
✓ Are there any precautions or possible side effects? +
Back2Sleep™ is a Class I CE marked medical device.
Slight discomfort or minor leakage may occur initially—this is normal while you get used to it.
Do not use in case of: nasal infection, severe obstruction, or recent nasal surgery. If in doubt, always consult a healthcare professional.
✓ Are there clinical studies proving its effectiveness? +
Yes. Back2Sleep (formerly Nastent®) has been the subject of several clinical studies. The Pilot Study 2015 (6 patients, 1-month measurements with and without Back2Sleep, supervised by Dr. Makoto Sato, Professor of Sleep Medicine at the University of Tsukuba) demonstrated a 64% average AHI reduction (28.4 → 10.2 events/hour) and an oxygen saturation maintained above 96%+ overnight, measured by pulse oximetry.
Long-term measurements over one year confirm that consistent use of Back2Sleep lowers the AHI and improves breathing during sleep.
Read the full data here: Clinical data — proven effectiveness of Back2Sleep.
✓ Is some discomfort normal at first? +
Yes. Some discomfort is normal during the first 3 to 4 nights, along with a foreign-body sensation while you get used to the tube.
✓ What side effects are possible? +
Possible effects include difficulty inserting or removing the tube, a foreign-body feeling, a temporary dry cough, the tube shifting or coming out during the night and, rarely, a silicone allergy.
✓ When should I stop and see a doctor? +
Stop and consult a doctor in case of nosebleeds, breathing difficulty, frequent nausea, severe pain, a tube that is discoloured, smelly or cracked, a clip that no longer holds, or accidental ingestion.
✓ Who should not use Back2Sleep? +
It should not be used by children, very restless sleepers, unconscious people, or people under guardianship unless they are supervised.
✓ Should I check with a doctor first? +
Check with your doctor before first use if you have breathing problems, nose or throat disorders, swollen tonsils, gastrointestinal problems or nose injuries. Do not use if you are allergic to silicone.
✓ How many times can I reuse one tube? +
Each tube is for a single patient and can be reused up to 15 times. Replace the tube every 30 days after opening.
✓ How do I choose my size? +
Sizes work like shoes — everyone has their own. The tip should sit 1 to 1.5 cm past the soft palate, just below the uvula. If it feels too short, choose a larger size; if it causes nausea, choose a shorter one. The Snorekit lets you try all four sizes (S, M, L, XL).
