A Simple Fix For Snoring And Sleep Apnea

- Snoring affects more than 90 million Americans, but it can also be a sign of sleep apnea. I turned to Dr. Jordan Stern, an ear, nose, and throat doctor and founder of BlueSleep, for help.

losing weight also helps a lot when the fat builds up around your neck. I lost 20 kg and don't snore anymore. I feel like a lot of people's issues are caused by this not just anatomical issues.
Shaving disgusting beards should also help with snoring.
Orbital Egg same my mum is rlly.. srry to say but bigger and she snores!
Steve is a dumbass, it's one of the causes for sleep apnea, being overweight, it might not be the case for all as there are many cause for it, but it's still one of the listed causes. I also lost 45 pounds and my snoring stops. Now that I lost that much weight, I plan on losing more.
This is true, I never snored my whole life until a few years ago when i developed snoring which i attribute to weight gain
Same for me. I didn't snore when I was skinny, then I got fat and my snoring got bad. Now I'm at a healthy weight and the snoring are gone.
I used the dental device for about five years. It worked to control most of my snoring due to sleep apnea, however, using this device messed up my bite to the point where I could not chew food because my jaw had been moved forward permanently and my back teeth no longer touched to allow chewing. I was told that if I bit on a rubber device each morning, it would put my lower jaw back in place. It did not do the job. I had to get a CPAP to treat the sleep apnea and when went to a holistic dentist to move my palate forward to create more space in the back of the throat and according to my dentist, the lower jaw will follow the movement of the upper jaw with the help of "pillows" that are put on the lower back teeth. After all of this is accomplished - braces to put my teeth back in their proper place. Nice, huh? All because of that dental device. FYI, when I went for the sleep apnea test to get a CPAP, the technician commented that many of her patients had the same problem with the dental device. Beware.
Oh god dammit, I really don't want to wear a mask for the rest of my life WTF. But waking up with headaches does suck
Yep I tried one of these type of products and immediately noticed discomfort. I was told just to keep using it and I would get used to it. I found I would end up removing it most nights as it was so painful that I couldn't get to sleep in the first place. I ended up returning it for a refund. I know that using a CPAP would mean II wouldn't be able to sleep with it on either, I'm a stomach and side sleeper but generally have to fall asleep on my stomach.
I recall seeing a surgical option years ago that inserted somthing to stiffen the soft tissue so that it couldn't vibrate to cause the snoring. Does that stop the issue of sleep apnea? Who knows.
Thats why i use Somnomed device is better and no problems at all
I think this is what I'm have ..
Feeling my jaw is different,
Before I could cut a piece of blue tape with my tooth..
I I wonder if a good bite guard like the smartguard elite Night Guard which I used for avoiding bruxism or teeth grinding would work for something like the snoring
I'm looking through the comments, and as a dentist, I think I can share a little bit of information that some might find helpful.
1. There are many types of dental appliances for snoring, some are good, some not so good.
2. Never wear a device (for snoring or grinding) that separates the back teeth by only attaching to the anterior (front) teeth. An "NTI" is a common example. Long term use will lead to the posterior teeth erupting further (extruding) and it will suck really bad. Trust me.
2. Only use a device that covers the whole arch of top or bottom or both.
3. Very few dentists have received special training for the fabrication of sleep apnea devices and TMD (tmj) night guards. Ask them if they have any training or certification. Many dentists will just take impressions, send it to a lab, and then tell you that whatever comes back is great and should work.
A well made device by a trained individual can be life changing, but it takes effort and diligence on the part of the caregiver and the patient. I hope this was helpful to some of you.
Thanks!
Hi Alex, I appreciate the quality of your comment. I snore, and snore ugly. Also I grind my teeth heavily making strange sounds too. Could you let me know if this dental appliance is the best solution or are there any other that you could recommend? I only tried the strip over the nose, and that doesn´t work for me. Btw I live in Orlando, do you know some specialist dentist on this matter in my area? Thanks in advance.
I was just thinking the same, solving one prob while perhaps creating others. Btw cant wait till we can grow a third set of teeth :)
worried about future jaw issues
You're a dentist but you can't number for shit...
He was great in Hangover
Ironically he basically had a hangover every morning from all the snoring.
@@michaelscoots That's not ironic but ok.
This was great, been searching for "anti-snore device" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Joomestyn Apnea Secret - (should be on google have a look )?
It is a good one of a kind guide for getting rid of Sleep Apnea and snoring without the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work buddy got great results with it.

When he said he lost a lot of relationships because of his snoring, I felt that HARD. I feel like it may never be the biggest thing to end a good relationship but it's absolutely a huge contributor.
I dated some girl who snored really hard, and damn it's true
whoever leaves you because you snor, wasn't the right choice anyway. a good partner would try to find a solution and not leave you
Damn I could never leave my man because he snored. I don’t even have a man and I’m saying that lol
@@peshmerge44 you meet someone. You can't sleep because of snoring. You... Start paying for his treatment?
Seeing her change positions in bed just to sleep and avoid my snow hurt me so it ended
Came here to find out how to stop snoring, found out I’ve almost died every night for the last 20 years 🥴
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😫😫🥴🥴 same lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I almost just died
The comment section on youtube is the funniest place on the internet ☺
I did all those tests and was diagnosed with sleep apnea and recommended to use a CPAP machine. I asked my doctor if there was any other remedy and he said some of his patients have benefited from weight loss. We agreed to try that approach first. My BMI showed that i was 40lbs overweight. I lost the 40lb and the condition was reversed when I did the test again. I have been doing intermittent fasting to maintain the weight loss and most importantly, my wife is not up all night because of my snoring
Congrats on losing 40lbs! That's HUGE. Have you managed to keep the weight off since you posted this?
As soon as you get used to a CPAP which for me was a few days, because of how good you feel getting a real night's sleep and the immediate increase in your general health and well being, you won't want to sleep without it! BTW, I haven't had another heart attack since (which was the reason for my doctor referring me for a sleep apnea study and the subsequent use of a CPAP machine).
I very glad you found a solution!
"No one cared who I was until I put on the mask"
Love this
do we all need relationships?
@Ionor Rea's Tech Evolution Archive wrong movie dude lol
I see a lot of people keep on speaking about this t.co/YQt06Q9Wam . But I'm not sure if it's good. Have you ever tried using this popular stop snoring method?
@@fabian8813 mewing is best
My father has been sleeping with that mask on for almost 10 years now, he said since using the mask he has better sleep, his blood presure has gone down, he wakes up in the morning feeling really good and not groggy.
Lucky u my father is so stubborn he is not understanding the seriousness he is not using the machine and his health is going worst day by day
Your father is lucky that works fish and banana
@@SUNNYKUMAR-rd5tu don’t be so harsh on him. I got one of those machines but it’s not just the fact that the mask might be uncomfortable. It may also be that the pressure from the machine might be too high. Think about it this way are you more comfortable bathing with water from your faucet or would you prefer using a pressure washer.
Makes total sense. I recently found out I snore and I’ve been having to have to sleep or take a nap throughout the day. I feel tired everyday. Going to have to make a change and loose weight.
Wow I gotta ask my pulmonalogist about this. I just did one of those home tests and I stopped breaking 72 times an hour. It has made my red blood cells go up so I have high blood pressure. Thanks for the video
My dentist recommended an over the counter mouth guard to reduce my teeth grinding at night. I picked one up at Walgreens and have been using it over a year. I never had sleep issues but my wife says I no longer snore. Might be worth a try considering it's cheap to do.
Thanks... I’m going to give a shot..
The best ones are custom molded
Aren’t u afraid to choke on them
@@EzraDair, never happened to me. It forces you to sleep with your mouth closed. It might be worth a try.
I have OSA. I got a custom mouth guard from my dentist because of grinding and instantly had a big reduction in OSA. I still struggle with it from time-to-time but my custom mouth guard was definitely an improvement.
My mom wore that Cpap machine for like 3 months it solved her bad snoring forever it’s been like 8 years now. She gave her machine to someone at church not to long ago that was suffering for not being able to sleep because of their snoring and it’s helped them out so much! That machine is wonderful. I did grow up falling asleep to the snores of my mom and it kind of gave me comfort since we would usually lived in studios or one bedroom apartments so I kind of missed them at first hahaha but my mom is so much healthier now than she was before using the machine!
What cured her??
@@gallo4796 the Cpap machine!! It’s awesome
@@Momoleft911 that’s not a cure.. so your saying she used it for 3 months and it cured her
@@gallo4796 okay let me break it down for you, she use to snore a lot, so much she would loose sleep and told her doctor about it, her doctor recommended she use a Cpap machine to help her with snoring, while using it she stopped snoring and learned how to sleep without snoring. It helped her change the way she breathed while sleeping. She felt better after the three months, started to sleep without it and saw that her deep snores were gone.
I'm snoring gives me rage. I end up kicking or punching my husband cause I can't stand the houses he makes. I feel so passed even tho he doesn't know it. He needs something for this.
For me when i gained 18 kgs during quaritine due to less movement and high intake of sugary drinks i used to snore a lot….losing around 15 kgs and starting to drink more water helped me reduce snoring by quite a bit
A bit ??
Sugar doesn't put weight on
@@eddielasowsky7777it absolutely 100% definitely does
@@LastForeverUno No, sugar is fine, it's clean burning fuel. Adding to much fat causes insulin resistance, as a Yale study in 2003 showed
@@eddielasowsky7777 It's true! If sugar put weight on, I'd be a gajillion pounds.
I had a sleep study done in February. I had 122 apneas in one hour. I stopped breathing 122 freaking times in one hour. They woke me up during my study to put me on emergency c-pap bc my AHI wasn’t even on the chart, it’s considered severe continuous apnea. I was expedited a dream station 2 cpap machine and I got the nasal mask. It’s so comfortable and I really like it. I’ve slept better than I ever have. The most apneas I had since, was only 7 apneas an hour or less. Compared to 122, I’m sticking with the cpap. I’ve heard the mouthguard is extremely uncomfortable and after time can shift your teeth and jaw. Some people say they have to reset their jaws in the morning.
Which mask do you use? I can't breathe at all with the one I have...the CPAP is causing me enormous anxiety and worsening my insomnia. My OSA is mild so I haven't been using it but I want to resolve the issue so I can sleep better...
I wonder if a CPAP machine Could reduce bruxism and severe jaw pain, my jaw muscles are like rocks.
my undergraduate thesis topic..! this brings back so many memories i suffer because of lack studies on Indonesia.. thanks for sounding this condition to the world.
OMG thank you for this info. Iv'e been for the sleep test before but never had someone explain it to me like you just did in 5 minutes. I should have given you my hospital insurance money for the test. I must film and record me again when i sleep to observe what you did! Kudos!!
I love you 😪 I’m so tired of being tired. Thank you for this.
I quit alcohol, and lost all excess weight through dietary change - I no longer have sleep apnea.
My friends bully me because I snore so loooouud. That’s why I don’t go to sleep overs anymore.
But atleast now I know what to do whenever I go to sleepovers again. Thanks.
Zach Galifianakis?
LOL
Ryan Dunn ?
@@jordanthistle2360 damn it I clicked on this video just to say Ryan Dunn u beat me to it hahaha
I would like to inform that I have been rehearsing for couple of months utilizing this snoring solution HootSleep.xyz and I had great results. Snoring ceased following the first two and a half months and I have not snored ever since! Neither the snoring or the dreaded sleep apnea have returned. .
I thought it's Zach too , lol
My dad had really severe sleep apnea. He got a machine that he plugs in and goes over his nose blowing air in. It made an absolute difference since day one, he literally never snores again even when he has a nap without it
Whats the device?
Please someone needs help here
@@dahliahafiz the cpap lol
But surely you have to spend the whole night sleeping on your back?
@@DelosFive Yes - I was told I by the medical device staff that I could still sleep on my stomach with a cpap, but that was not the case, it's nearly impossible. Also cpap doesn't fix the problem that causes the snoring, it's just a bandaid. I gave up on the cpap and instead focusing on wt loss and increasing vitamin B1
I used the mouthguard for years for this reason. Then over time I started getting pains in my ear, could not understand it, went to doctors and then an ear specialist. They finally stated it was the mouthguard. As the pain was so great on my ear, I had to stop using it. I now am trying side sleeping.
Did the mouthguard help with your sleep apnea?
@@DanThomas1161 yes, and it was a cheap one from ebay.
According to my wife, I snore and one of these nights I may stop breathing.
Because of Sleep Apnea ?
No, because her hands will be around my throat to choke me.
xD
sounds hot
Sami Hauter I have heard that married people snore more than others.
because the others dont know they snore cause they dont share a bed everynight
😂👌🏻
30 times an hour. Those are rookie numbers! I averaged around 70!
Kudos for the Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you tried - Parlandealey Melted Fat Process (do a search on google)? It is a good one off guide for discovering the simple secret to get rid of sleep apnea and snoring without the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my best friend Jordan at very last got amazing results with it.
Just because your sleep apneas numbers are higher than other peoples doesn’t mean they aren’t suffering from lack of sleep every day.
Same I was 72! 😂
Mine is in the 90’s 😞
During my test I stopped breathing 900 something times over the course of the night.
Thanks for this video. I got an over the counter one but has absolutely made my sleep better!
I definitely need this. I am constantly tired through out the day, and snore extremely loud every night.
Thanks for sharing your story. I really need one of those things to help my wife sleep better and me to stop snoring!
The mouthpiece is more for milder sleep apnea. However, just like CPAP, it is a band-aid approach just like CPAP. There is also a UVVV surgery that is pretty dangerous and doesn't always have the greatest results. You can also check for swollen turbinates and a deviated septum at the ENT doctor (which is my issue presently, pending surgery for both). As a *warning* for those who consider a mouthpiece...these things *CAN* make your teeth move and mess your bite up, requiring dental work later. To me, that's not worth it.
Sadly jaw surgery is not more popular and recommended, though that is ultimately the solution.
@@AceofDlamonds yeah it's the only real solution to the problem, but it's expensive and invasive so doctors would rather not do it... it's all about profit
@@nowindjavdan6834
Well honestly if surgery was very easy and clean it would be a lot more profitable. But it's risky, so it's understandable in terms of risk management. But i find it sad that people believe certain appearances are just genetic or their "natural appearance".
@@AceofDlamonds agreed. The purpose of jaw surgery is to put the jaws into the position that it would have naturally grown into if it wasn't for bad posture/bad diets. There's nothing natural about a recessed maxilla/mandible.
You can have your dentist create a custom one. They don't harm or damage your teeth. (unless you don't clean them.)
Thank you. You explained everything so thoroughly!
Good information, thanks for making this video! It definitely helped
We bought a cool mist humidifier and the first night using it greatly reduced my snoring. And I could feel the difference in my nostrils - easier to breath.
These products are old news. They do cause permanent jaw misalignment as most of the ones you see do not take care of the morning after realignment step.
sachmo beemweaver I would think other issues would appear to. Headaches, migraines, etc...
You're right that weight loss often wouldn't cure sleep apnea but there is a shit load of evidence showing it helps. If you have mild sleep apnea and you're really overweight it may well fix it entirely.
Steve Sherman Science is a summed collection of anecdotes. Anecdotes mean a lot.
@Steve Sherman Evidence: "The ACP’s first recommendation centers on weight loss for people who are overweight and obese. The link between excess weight and sleep apnea is well established. People who are overweight have extra tissue in the back of their throat, which can fall down over the airway and block the flow of air into the lungs while they sleep.
Though losing weight is easier said than done, it can yield real results. 'If we can get people to lose weight, it would make both sleep apnea and other health problems [such as heart disease] go away,' says Dr. Epstein. Losing just 10% of body weight can have a big effect on sleep apnea symptoms. In some cases, losing a significant amount of weight can even cure the condition." www.health.harvard.edu/blog/weight-loss-breathing-devices-still-best-for-treating-obstructive-sleep-apnea-201310026713
Are you claiming to be a person of science, yet rejecting years of research from Harvard Med? We've literally known that there is a linear correlation between obesity and sleep apnea for decades, to deny it would be lunacy at this point.

I liked the way you deliver the story, great job!
I've been using my mouth pieces for about 5 years, sleeping is never a problem, zero snoring since. They do work. I just stopped repositioning my jaw every morning. I can't chew with my molars very well because they don't come together anymore, but it's only slightly annoying. Totally worth it. In fact, if I forget to put my mouth pieces in, my jaw stays forward and I can sleep just fine for a couple of days before it starts to go back to normal. These things are extremely expensive, or were when I got mine anyway, but they do last of you take care of them. To be clear, my dentist prepared about 8 different devices for me to try where I got the best sleep. I had about 8 appointments over several months. This isn't something you want to cheap out on.
Has it messed up your teeth at all?
@@christinamiller5753 funny you should mention that. I've since posting this taken a new stance. I'm heading to an orthodontist to try and correct my jaws. The right one started popping very bad when I chew. And yes, these have ground down my teeth, all of the enamel is gone. I'm supposed to get a crown in, but my molars don't touch, so I've got a lot of fixing to do. They do work for stopping the snoring, but not at the cost of destroying my jaw
Oh no! I’m so sorry. 😢 I have some concerns going on with my teeth already and may need braces as well, so I was concerned about this. I pray yours can get fixed easily and well. 🙏🏼
@@christinamiller5753 I would avoid these. They do make a CPAP now that just goes directly into your nostrils, no large mask on your face, I think. Will be looking into this myself.
@@supernat1978 thanks for the advice 😊
I already bought lots of snoring solutions on Amazon in the past but in my opinion the nose vents definitely stand out in quality (very soft material/BPA free) and effectivity. I actually prefer 'the original nose vents of Flowland' because I was suprised that I got 2 cases with 8 vents for a fraction of the price (while I don't feel or see any difference at all with the original one of Snorecare … I compared them because I was curious). So now I keep one case at home, and 1 for travelling.
I also tested it out of curiosity with the snorelab app on my iphone and there was a real difference for several nights in a row (almost no loudness with the nose vents in). It’s a free app and it’s very straightforaward to use (you can even hear your own snoring!)
I want to put super-glue on your nostril devices.
My husband is not overweight. He snores when he sleeps on his back and his mouth drops open. When he sleeps on his side, with the proper pillow, the snoring stops. Only problem is that I have to nudge him through the night to roll onto his side. My sleep is suffering so much from waking up to his snoring. How do I know? I discovered that I’m well rested and alert when he’s away on business trips. No interrupted sleep on those nights!
P Robidoux mines too!
I really sympathize. I don't have that problem but i have a friend who has it and seen how she struggles. If you take a look at this site it may help. Not only may it help if you buy and tell someone about it they will pay you. I have not used it i just like it for other products they have i ordered. You can give it a try if you like www.trysleepspray.com/ChifiBlack
That might still be OSA. I was never really able to sleep on my back, but now that I sleep with a CPAP, I spend most of the night on my back.
They sell chin straps to help keep your mouth closed when sleeping. Maybe that could help?
My husband snores as well so we started sleeping different rooms which helped me to sleep better. But still wanna look for answer to stop his snoring because it has bad health effects.
Excelente video, gracias amigo.
Oh my god!!! I rewind this video 50 times when you said sleep apnea can cause glaucoma,. Three months ago I was diagnosed with glaucoma. And I figured out with my Galaxy watch that my oxygen level every night is getting very low not only that I'm snoring a lot. I've been snoring for like past 2 years. And because of it I got glaucoma now this video opened my eyes
I have been using a CPAP for the last 4-5 years and for me it has never been any problems or issues that has made me not want to use it. It gives me such a better sleep that I would not want to even try to sleep without it. The only problem is when I have to travel because there is one piece of extra luggage that I always need to bring with me.
@u2good2b4gotn I rarely travel by air but in those cases I have a special permit that allows me to carry my CPAP along with my other hand luggage without any fees. I live in Sweden and i've used such a permit travelling to the Canary Islands on multiple occasions. Here you get your doctor to sign the permit and then you're good to go.
@@notbugs which CPAP machine are you using?
@@damienholland8103 I have the Resmed S9 which i've had for over 6 years and it is super silent and works like a charm.
I thought the point was to try to get off of the machine not use it for long term? I’m just saying...I could be wrong but I thought it was to help the issue but not cure it. Like my mom is 66 she’ll probably use it forever with all of the health conditions listed in this video she will likely not lose weight at this age. However my sister who is 48 is planning to lose weight so she no longer has to use the device.
@@ESBEAUTII I would say it depends on what the cause for a patients problems are. I myself has an autonome dysfunction which makes my breathing reflex weaker when i am sleeping. So i had sleeping problems from my teenage years when they started when i went through puberty. It was when i got to try out a portable "sleeping lab" about 8 years ago that my doctor and myself learned why i was sleeping so badly. I have other health issues aswell which all are neurological and most likely have the same root cause. So for almost 30 years i lived my life not knowing that there was help to get. These days the health care providers here in Sweden are much more observant and test people also when they are younger and have issues.
My mom would appreciate this video for my fucking roaring dad!
David Mitchell yeah same my dads a lion

Doesn't fix the mouth breathing tho.
at least you guys have a partner! the snoring comes to through the walls from my neighbour...and also the people from my upstairs woke up me on time at 5am recent, their kids running and jumping all the time during the day, and just so much noise all around here. that's why I m here,
Verry Verry well explained, congratulations and thank you
I never snored in my entire life, says my family and my girlfriend. What i always do before going to sleep is close my mouth and push my tongue to my hard pallet to create a suction that will prevent my tougue from blocking my pharynx. I've been doing it since i was young and i am unconsciously doing it before sleeping everytime. The problem is, my tongue sometimes sticks to my hard pallet and lower teeth as well as my upper lip to lower lip due to dried saliva, but it's fine, id rather have that every morning than suddenly waking up every night because i can't breathe😅
My dad had sleep apnea... The test was suppose to be two nights... But they stopped him half way through the night to give him the CPAP because his o2 levels got so low.... He loves his cpap
Lester Carter It seems really uncomfortable
Lester Carter They did the same to me. I made it 2 hours before they put me in that machine. Then, I tried every attachment that they had for it and none of them worked. It was awful. I would yank the thing off halfway through the night in my sleep. I’d wake up in the morning and it would be on the floor blowing air everywhere but into my face. I finally gave up. I’m currently waiting for a mouthpiece to see if it helps. The only other option for me would be surgery.
@@julessangel2576 I'd rather have surgery

DiLoni Martinez That help one problem, the snoring but not the sleep apnea. Its a good trick though for what it does. It might help aiway flow a bit but again u can have SA with mouth closed.
Very nicely done. With some similar symptoms.
I'm a 46 y.o woman. I snore since I was in my 20's. And I snore like a jet engine! I've recorded myself. And my friends, my kids, complained too. 😰 They just don't know that I was just trying to survive each time I sleep. And I'm also desperate and embarrased because of it. And unfortunately I can't afford to get treatment. So.. just pray. 😞 Btw, I'm not over weight, I sleep on my side, I don't drink alcohol nor smoke, and I don't have chronic illness. But I think I inherit this from my mom. She is a heavy snorer too. 😓
Can you go to gofundme or something to raise money for your treatment?
I’ve tried this mouth piece and it does work! The downside is that your teeth feel sore. They have been pulling the weight of your jaw the whole night. I believe that it would cause teeth displacement and then I stopped.
Has your jaw been permentatly changed? Do you still use it?
@@SelfAwareSaga I had an operation instead to remove my tonsils and uvula to make more room. That did the trick.

I use a Cpap and recommend it. My blood pressure has gone down to normal, I no longer feel fatigued. The mask was uncomfortable at first but now I've adjusted.
Yes, I have been wearing a CPAP mask for a few months now and have been sleeping much better. It does take a little while to get used to it, but using the mask, tube, etc. isn't really so bad.
I want to try cpap can i ask which mask you use?
Do you naturally snore less after a certain amount of time using the CPAP or do you have to use it for the rest of your life??
I really like this sort oh highly professional but also amusing videos. Keep it up man wish you the best!!

@@Boselfi I think the hard part is telling ourselves "Nothing is going to magically break this Catch 22, so we're going to have to do something uncomfortable to fix this."
I went from 33 AHI to 20 AHI simply by sleeping on my side, use an extra pillow to hug and keep you from turning on your back, or tape a tennis ball to your back pajamas. Also, sleep study monitor might be calibrated too sensitive. it was indicating apneas and hypoapneas while I was awake before falling asleep.

Thanks for the video. One thing to add though (I myself have very bad sleep apnea, and use a mouthpiece, which has removed about 80% of the problem, according to the sleep analysis I've done before and after) is that a mouthpiece doesn't work for everyone, but the CPAP machine always does. So by all means try a mouthpiece, but if that doesn't help, a CPAP machine will.
Try using a chin strap instead. Never sleep on your back. Sleep on one side of the body, that is leaning on the left or right side. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1311&_nkw=chin+strap+snoring&_sacat=0
Obstructive sleep apnea can be agitated by vitamin b1 deficiency. Brain and nerve cells count on b1 for energy production, so we usually recommend b1 supplements with "snore-b-gone" and specific singing lessons too, believe it or not. Think about that. Some people are having a lot of success with this combined approach.
Anecdotal! This may affect some very small portion of the overall number of people with sleep apnea, but the vast vast majority of people in north american culture and Not vitamin deficient in spite of the claims of the supplements industry. Some people in the norther hemisphere can be deficient in vitamin D, but thats about it. If you are a moronic vegan then yes you can be deficient in all kinda of vitamins because you are essentially starving yourself to be fashionable.
Thanks for the helpful video
Very well explained video!
Wow! That was a great success story and a clever solution.
Gravity also comes into play, so if I suspect I'm waking at night, I sleep on my side for the rest of the night.
Admittedly, without someone telling you or monitoring your sleep, you won't realized the problem until you
wake the next day and then wonder what part of supper did this to me?
The mechanics of the airway are clever, but sometimes I think our designers got a little careless, perhaps they also were sleep deprived. Honestly, who runs the plumbing through the entertainment center?
THanks again and as usual...
THanks for THinking!
"a simple fix" gets a custom molded mouth piece....
He’s a capitalist pig!!
Trust me, as someone who is a caregiver for various cpap and bipap users - this mold would be so much better for them.
Thank you for this video
Thank you for sharing your experience. i am scheduled for a dental application. I am with Kaiser and they are covering most of the cost. My co-pay is about $225. I hope it helps with my afib. I have read that there is a strong correlation with atrial fibulation.
How about loosing weight and removing all food that causes inflammation? (grains, vegetable oils except olive oil, coffee etc...)
Awesome video! Thanks for the tips!! This video is better than all of the reviews I seen. Great job on your content! I bought this for a present for someone! Cheers.
Great job makingthis serious subject entertaining
I winced when the doctor stuck the camera up his nose. It’s the second worst thing you go through when you catch a sinus infection
Generic username Amen
a sinus infection omg how terrible, what a fking baby, you shit your diapers at night too?
Gf Oh please Coyote Peterson; tell me what pain in life I’m missing out on, because apparently 1 fever-driven week drowning in meds with pain all over your face and ears is clearly nothing compared to all the bug bites you’ve gone through.
sounds like an ordeal of a lifetime
You don't like it? I love it. It tickles and gives me ASMR tingles. I made an appointment with an ENT specialist just to get that procedure done. My appointment is in May.
yah the problem with the mouth peace is it gives you incredibly dry mouth and ultimately causes teeth issues like cavities because your teeth aren't submerged in saliva over night, just out to dry. The best solution is jaw and neck exercise that are designed to strengthen the muscles in that area and reduce floppiness, and lose fat in that area as well. Incredibly effective.
Hi Icon.. nice post. Any chance you can point me towards the right approach here?? In need!! Tks so much.
@@keithburke9806 get one of those chew jaw strength devices. And do simple neck exercises
Good video, thanks
I got you beat, pal. I stopped breathing 90 times an hour.
NINETY. I have a CPAP/BIPAP machine, but the damage was done. I have brain damage from lack of oxygen. If someone thinks they might have a problem, get tested sooner rather than later.
This is such a nightmare. I've had all kinds of treatment for Sleep Apnea and I still suffer it.
I am using one and it really works, you have to be very consistent with the excercises in the morning to bring your jaw back and it is uncomfortable for sure, but it works!!
Thanks alot
very well done video (with great content)
I received a custom mouthguard from BlueSleep. The process was really easy and the home sleep test now simply wraps around your finger for three nights. My snoring is gone and I feel awesome during the waking hours. Plus, my bed partner is really, really happy too!
Very interesting. You forgot a couple things though. Obstructive sleep apnea has been proven to be one of the major causes of Alzheimer, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases. Where as someone might be genetically predisposed to having dementia or Parkinson's, OSA will compound the situation greatly. Almost all neurodegenerative diseases can be linked to sleep apnea and the lack of REM sleep. I use a CPAP and I hate it. I was wondering what the price is on this because I have tried a dozen or so mouth guards that try and push the lower jaw forward.
Also, big contributor to mental health issues.
These mouth pieces generally work for people who stop breathing less than 30/hr (mild to moderate sleep apnea)
What's the best brand mouthguard you've used?
Thank you for the information. I will definitely give the mouth guard a try.
"No one cared who I was until I put on the mask"
"If I pull that off, will you die?"
"No, I'll just be a little sleepy in the morning."
Brilliant
The Zquiet mouthpiece works for me. They have a patent on there design so I don't know why they don't advertise it more. I've used it for six years now.
I saw a mouth piece at Walmart very expensive but will try it. I simply moved my lower jaw up while laying down and noticed my air way was clearer and tried snoring but couldn’t.
I need to find something in Japan. I feel bad I'm making people lose sleep because of my snoring.
My bf and I both have sleep apnea.. We're part of what he calls "The Hosehead Crew"
Having experienced loud snoring and light sleep apnea that have been getting more serious for longer than my wife cares about, I decided to try this snoring solution t.co/Dre5IfqVTi It got me 3 weeks to get considerable results, but after a month or so my better half announced that I had neither snored or stopped breathing throughout the prior night!
Did I just watched an ad?
The Philips Dreamstation can use the under nasal mask Headgear, which is a much better alternative than a full on mask. Like anything, it takes time to get used to it, but they work and I think more so then what's being advertised.
Great video
I just got my sleep study results yesterday I STOP breathing 134 times in one hour
Congrats sir you win
And how has your health status been these past six months?
I am sure effective and a very humorous way of putting it over :)
A must watch first video after all.
Very good video. I just received mine and tonight will be my first night with the guard.
@Motivational - Day per Day It was odd, but I did fall asleep. The next day I received "Nose Vents" And I've been using those with much less discomfort. The guard doesn't hurt, but it's big. The vents I ordered are super soft and I ordered 12 large for about 15 dollars. You feel a bit of pressure outwards in your nostrils. But I put them in during a movie and forgot about them. Just as a trial run. And I've been using them each night. The guard will be a backup if needed.
Thank you for the video. I worry about the misalignment of your jaw over time. Possibly creating TMJ and can be painful. Better to stick with the mask.
Sandy Hill Yes don’t use it these products are dangerous
That explains why Bane used to put a mask in The Dark Knight Rises! 😅
Is it teeth grinding guard? will that impact on jaw position after prolonged use?
CPAP machines as resmed airsense 11 and n30i mask are awesome and not as bad looking, no noise and are quite confortable … but you’re right … a good mouth device can also work, but if you want a good one it’s as expensive as a good CPAP, about 1k and something else … for me best is combine cpap and mouth device.
Love the video, I have the cpap machine. I just finally put it together & hell to the no. I can’t breathe, feels like air filling up my brain. I originally wanted the mouthpiece. I think I’ll get mouthpiece thingy after all 👍
Since you posted this how has it been? Have you been using the mouthpiece? Is it custom molded?
