Regularly blowing through a conch shell (shankh) for six months, like Disney princess Moana or Anchorman legend Ron Burgundy, significantly improved sleep among a small group of people with sleep apnea. Patients blowing a conch slept better, felt more alert during the day and had fewer breathing interruptions at night, researchers reported.

Shankh blowing shows promise in alleviating sleep apnea, with significant improvements in sleep quality and reductions in daytime sleepiness after six months.
