Have you used it? I'm just wondering is it uncomfortable, do you end up with a dry tongue, etc.?
I would actually consider this. Of course my nightmare is I'd go through it all and still have sleep apnea.
What makes it awkward? Also, what do you mean by "it takes a lot of getting used to?I'm a brutal snorer. I don't know what your dentist recommended but I had the ones I had for teeth grinding which did nothing for my snoring and probably made it worse.
I bought the Zyppah mouth guard. It takes a lot of getting use to and I never thought I would ever be able to sleep with it at first.
After a week or so though I could sleep with it in all night long without issue. My wife said that I don't snore at all with the mouth guard in so she is very happy with it. I wake up feeling better too because it has greatly improved the quality of my sleep.
-Very effective at eliminating snoring
-Very Awkward to get use but does get better
-90 day money back gaurantee
-I highly recommend and my wife does too
edit: Drooling can be a slight issue but nothing too gross in my experience
There is a piece that sits on your tongue that differentiates it from other snoring mouth guards. They call it a "seatbelt". I don't know how to describe other than its wierd at first. If you try it you'll know what I mean. That's really what keeps you from snoring and why its better than the ZQuiet. The instructions say to wear it for 15 minutes before bed and then slowly transition to wearing it full time. So there is a break in period to using it.
Seriously though I can't recommend this thing highly enough. My sleep quality is so much better.
Keep me posted!
A sleep study is the only thing that can rule out sleep apnea. It can be done at home by a sleep lab.
Wash your nose and dry it well first or you’ll end up throwing half the box away. You’re never going to have another blackhead but you’ll have to walk around with some skin burn every once in a while. Your back will thank you when you don’t wake up on the couch is the silver lining.
My tonsils were removed as a kid. I have sleep apnea. It generally has nothing to do with your tonsils. That would be rare. Your whole esophagus simply closes with negative pressure. Like sucking on a straw with one end blocked, the sides are pulled in. So the cpap provides continuous positive pressure to prevent that. Losing a lot of weight might help but not always.
Put the Dayton game on replay.
Oh sure. Worth OP checking that out for sure. It’s just not the usual cause.
So maybe a uvular sack? Would since things up, I assume.
This. It definitely helps.
Saw that too- it prevents you from sleeping flat on your back. Some advice I found online says to try a wedge shape pillow to support head & upper body; the wedges are around 12%, which helps the snoring yet still is comfortable enough for sleep. Another pillow recommendation was to get a body pillow (full length pillow) that helps one to sleep on their side. I’ll have to find where to buy these things.
I think you can do your own now. Around $200.
