About Us
REM-A-TEE is committed to reducing and even eliminating snoring and sleep apnea through our unique line of anti-snoring products in order to bring you and your partner a restful sleep and improved overall health.
Doctors know professionally and many of us know personally that snoring hurts health and relationships. But treatments are complex, expensive, time-consuming and often unsuccessful.
I would like to share my own snoring problem and what I did about it.
Founder's Story
In 2002, after my severe and loud snoring strained my own relationship, I underwent a sleep study at Montreal's Mount Sinai Hospital.
I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea (157 episode in 8hrs lasting upto 55 seconds) and given three therapeutic options: purchase a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Machine, buy a dental appliance or have surgery. I decided against all three. The first two were prohibitively expensive, while doctors said surgery had low success rates and side effects.
I did nothing. Meanwhile my relationship ended, in large part because of my snoring.
Three years later and now a B.C. resident, I attended the University of British Columbia's (UBC) Sleep Disorders Clinic. I received the same diagnosis and the same three recommendations. Better medical coverage allowed me to try the CPAP and oral appliance options, yet the oral device caused extreme mouth and teeth pain while the CPAP therapy was highly uncomfortable. Again, I did not want surgery.
I went back to basics. One of the simplest techniques thought to ease snoring is to sleep on a tennis ball, forcing the snorer to sleep on his or her side. This addresses what experts believe to be the main cause of snoring: sleeping on the back.
For my initial prototype I duct-taped a tennis ball to my back. Twenty prototypes later I developed the REM-A-TEE, a 100% cotton Anti-Snoring T-Shirt with three plush styrofoam cylinders --each about three inches thick-- sewn into its back. The anti-snore shirt encapsulates the tennis-ball principle more comfortably: if the wearer rolls onto the back, the foam inserts create a gentle resistance so the snorer returns to his or her side.
The shirt's pressure is great enough to prevent the snorer from rolling over, yet gentle enough so the wearer doesn't awaken. By stopping snoring before it begins, the snorer enjoys a restful sleep.
This new anti-snoring product re-educates a snorer to sleep on their side. It did that for me; my partner tells me I don't snore anymore. Moreover, other couples have tried the shirt and their non-snoring partners all report great success.
Snoring-prevention devices can cost anywhere from $100 to $4,500. The Rematee Anti-Snore Shirt costs $37.99.
My own personal quest towards a snore-free sleep and freedom from the health problems sleep deprivation can cause has led me to this point. It has cost me in many ways. Because of this, it is my fervent desire to help others, both snorers and their partners, to get past this issue and both enjoy a good night's sleep all without paying thousands of dollars on time-consuming, painful therapies with limited success rates.
