IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in death or serious injury.
1. Smart Nora is intended to detect snoring and reduce
snoring sounds by slowly moving the user’s pillow by
means of adjusting the volume of the air-inflated Pillow
Insert. The device is indicated for those whose periodic
snoring causes their partners to wake up. The device is
not indicated for diagnosis or treatment of sleep apnea
or any other disease.
2. WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep Smart
Nora away from infants and children.
3. If your sleep habits and position put you at risk of
entangling a cord or tube around your neck while
sleeping, do not use Smart Nora.
4. Smart Nora is not a monitoring device and will not warn
you of any sleeping problems.
5. Avoid placing the power cable and air tube where it
could present a tripping hazard.
6. Do not use Smart Nora around water or other liquids.
Like any electronic device, there is an electrocution
hazard if you get Smart Nora wet when it is plugged in.
7. Do not disassemble the Pebble, Base, or power adapter.
There are no repairs that you can safely perform.

WELCOME TO BETTER SLEEP
Smart Nora is the contact-free snoring solution
loved by tens of thousands of couples worldwide,
and featured in TIME, ABC, CBS, The Oprah
Magazine, and many more.
Smart Nora is designed for use in normal
bedroom environments. During the night the
Pebble, a microphone equipped with detection
algorithms, listens for sounds of snoring. Upon
detecting multiple snores, it activates the silent
pump in the Base to gently inflate and deflate the
Pillow Insert. This slight movement interrupts your
snoring. After a few nights, you will get used to
this movement and notice Smart Nora less and less.

WHY WE SNORE
Snoring is the result of our airways collapsing as the upper throat
muscles relax during sleep. When we breathe through the narrowed
airway, we create vibrations that are heard as snoring.
WHY SMART NORA IS EFFECTIVE
Smart Nora detects early sounds of snoring and gently moves your head
by activating a silent pump that inflates and deflates the padded insert
sitting under your pillow.
This slight movement stimulates the relaxed throat muscles and as a
result, the airway assumes its natural position, allowing you to breathe
normally once again. This movement lasts about 1 minute each time, and
during this time the device does not activate with sounds of snoring.
