Here is more on the subject: Forty-five percent of normal adults snore at least occasionally, and 25 percent are habitual snorers. Problem snoring is more frequent in males and overweight persons and it usually grows worse with age. Snoring sounds are caused when there is an obstruction to the free flow of air through the passages at the back of the mouth and nose. Only recently have the adverse medical effects of snoring and its association with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) been recognized. Various methods are used to alleviate snoring and/or OSA. They include behavior modification, sleep positioning, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), and Laser Assisted Uvula Palatoplasty (LAUP), and jaw adjustment techniques. What Is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)? Nasal CPAP delivers air into your airway through a specially designed nasal mask or pillows. The mask does not breathe for you; the flow of air creates enough pressure when you inhale to keep your airway open. CPAP is considered the most effective nonsurgical treatment for the alleviation of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. If your otolaryngologist determines that the CPAP treatment is right for …

It would be awesome if you could sleep as soundly with the comfort of CPAP. Cpapman.com is my usual source and it has never failed me. I never knew I had OSA until a year ago, and snoring was like crazy with the sleepless nights. I wanted surgery but my doctors prescribed CPAP instead and I turned to cpapman.com and I have been very thankful since.

@Hollywobble You can do it! I had the same problem with the panic attacks. Remember, your body is not only readjusting to wearing a CPAP mask but also to sleeping uninterrupted. It can take a month or two to adjust. If you need help, google the CPAP/apnea message boards. We’re out there to help!

@enjoytheride85 You’re lucky the surgery worked for you. Most people still have apnea after the surgery. Did you have a UPPP?

Oh thanks for that. I’m starting my second night tonight using one and I haven’t had much success on the first night. Claustrophobia and panic attacks. I had just the nose one but I swapped it today for one like yours, the mouth and nose. I’m trying to get the courage up to go to bed now lol, but thought I’d look for videos and found yours. I know once I can get past the claustrophobia part I’ll be fine. Thanks Sean!!!

I have to say, you did a great job explaining it! I also love that it is a positive feed back. I am a Respiratory Therapist and I work in a hospital and a sleep lab. It excites me so much to see those positive/ eye opening results. Hope it is still going great for you!

Nasivent Tube – Anti Snoring, I was a little skeptical about any product that can cure snoring, but not anymore–this product works! My wife and I had gotten used to waking up in separate beds as I would leave when awakened by her snoring. It’s comfortable, high quality and fits well. In fact, we both use them. With 4 sizes in a package, one fits me and the smaller one works for my wife. Now we’re both happy and sleeping well–together.

This review is from: Nasivent Tube – Anti Snoring, Snore and Anti Sleep Apnea Aid (Health and Beauty)
The Nasivent Tube works for me. My wife is pleased and both of us are sleeping better. It is easy to use and not uncomfortable. I would strongly advise anyhone with snoring problems to give it a try.

These things sound like Darth Vader when someone breathes–ha! My step sister and her husband both use these and it helps them breathe normally at night.

Great video! Very informative. I’m going in for an overnight sleep study, because apparently, I have sleep apnea as well. Thank you for making this video. -Robin

I don’t understand why, after all that surgery, you still need CPAP ? I’ve been on CPAP for about 2 years now. It was very tough to get used to and the testing was a pain. But I stuck with it and really feel addicted to it now. Last year I was on a cruise and forgot to bring a critical part. So I had no CPAP and slept horribly.

It’s like the cheesy educational videos that the CPAP companies make, but better! Great job explaining and thanks for posting this.
ps – smart mask selection. the new model of your mask is called the Quattro (just minor updates – quieter exhaust, bit better seal, fine-tune adjustment) – always good to stay on the replacement schedule.

the science is not quite what you said. In OSA, ur brain is still sending signals to the muscles around ur lungs (like the diaphragm) telling them to contract so u can breathe in. However, ur UPPER AIRWAY muscles aren’t staying open when u fall asleep so no air can reach ur lungs in the first place! So basically, all the CPAP does is esssentially blow open those floppy upper airway muscles in ur throat allowing air to reach ur lungs and thus good old oxygen to enter ur bloodstream. VOILA!
