Snoring

[QDOG5]

@Dove, I bought the apparatus three weeks ago and haven't tried it yet. Tonight is the night I will try it because my wife and I are going on vacation Saturday. If it doesn't work I might spend the week sleeping in our hotel bathroom.

@QDOG5 ...what's it like sticking your tongue out all night?

You don't notice it because you're asleep, you dope.

I'm about to get the Zyppah. Here goes nothing...

Good luck! I'm curious to hear how it goes.

I bought a Zyppah too. Just arrived today. I've been sick all week so my wife hasn't been sleeping with me. I guess the first night to try the new devices will be Saturday night. If neither appliance works hopefully she can take some solace that at least she's not getting any sleep in Maui.

I also mentioned a Whoop fitness band. It has a super detailed sleep tracker that shows how often you were awake, light sleep, REM sleep. And it grades your sleep score. That’s what alerted me to there being a real problem aside from just noise.

I had a Fitbit Versa, and now a Fitbit Sense2, and neither work very well at providing a good info on my sleep. They often miss an hour or two. What I hope is that they measure oxygen variation well. I had O2 with my CPAP for years, but finally seemed to have lost enough weight that I didn't need it. I see spikes every couple of days indicating low O2, for short periods (maybe 15 minutes), but my wife hasn't noticed me gasping.

Is the Whoop accurate? Is there a better product out there? Just wondering.

I would read up on it. It's pretty detailed. It's not a typical tracker for steps. It basically tracks your strain (physical and mental) vs your recovery (sleep, low stress, heart rate variability) to optimize you pushing your body by working out, then recovering properly. Here is a readout of a typical night. If you click on the sections (Awake, Light, etc) it will light up in the chart where they occurred.

Due to getting whipped by the flu last week, and lingering congestion, I'm holding off the debut. Wednesday should do it

After a delay, I debuted the device on Monday night. Hit the sack with it and I started salivating a tone and had to figure out how to swallow the saliva. I wretched a couple of times. Finally fell asleep.

My wife said I did good.

Last night, the salivating was so much less and I slept pretty damned good. No snoring.

That's awesome. If that resolves your issue and you don't have to resort to a CPAP, that's a huge win, in my opinion.
