Didgeridoo: More than Just a Cool Name


September 16, 2017

This year’s Ig Nobel peace prize goes to the team from the University of Zurich, who studied the effects of playing the didgeridoo on relieving sleep apnea.

The didgeridoo is a musical instrument developed by indigenous Australians, and apparently learning to play it can strengthen muscles used in breathing, leading to relief of moderate sleep apnea.

So if you share a room with a snorer, consider the didgeridoo as a Christmas gift.
