😴Best Sleeping Products For Snoring & Sleep Apnea

CPAP therapy is the best treatment for sleep apnea and snoring, but many people can't afford it, and others can't tolerate it. Here are a few helpful tips that will improve your sleep and breathing WITHOUT wearing a CPAP mask

Pro Tips
1. Gravity is not your friend! Sleeping inclined will make a HUGE difference. Automatic, adjustable bed frames are fantastic but can be expensive. Another alternative is a wedge pillow; lots are available on Amazon with great reviews. Some sellers move 10,000+ wedge pillows a month.

2. Stay off your back!
Expensive

There's an app you can download that tracks your sleeping position

Affordable Options

3. Improve breathing & airflow
Soft-Cervical collars can reduce 'chin-tucking'. There are lots available, and you can buy them at most chemists. Just don't wear them too tight.

4. Before Bed
These days, everything you eat & drink will impact your breathing. Go and test it for yourself. Grab a meal at Maccas and monitor your breathing 30-60 minutes later. You will notice it's much harder to breathe, and you will start clearing your throat. Fasting for 3 hours before bed is tough, but it's so good. Try it one night, and you will never look back.

I love a warm sinus rinse. It just flushes out any dust, mucus, or crap in my nose and combined with a hot shower, it's a great way to start the night.

Cold air also restricts breathing and causes congestion, so warm the room.

I've just started researching sleep apnea solutions and this is a great summary with a bit of Aussie humour. Cheers!

This is my fourth night on my cpap. (Ditched it for a full year, hated it). Going back over your content inspired me to try again! Thanks, Nick. You may be a lifesaver!

I tried the CPAP for a year and it caused such a severe sinus infection that it took an MRI, about 8 mos, and several rounds of antibiotics to get rid of it. I re-taught myself how to sleep on my side, I already had an incline, and bought a side sleeper pillow. Surprisingly enough my sleep app hasn’t recorded very little if any meaningful snoring as I probably wake up and turn on my side. When it does it might say 1-5 mins. Far cry from the snoring that it would pick up from the time I fell asleep until the time I woke up. I honestly don’t miss the Cpap…at all. 😅 The one thing I’m still looking for is a decent side sleeper device. I’ll check out what you have.

I have sleep issues and recently got a bed frame that auto raises on top end so I have elevated my head about 35 - 40 degrees. I also try and sleep on my side, seems to help a ton.

I’ve tried everything but the CPAP machine. Recently discovered the tongue sleeve device that looks likes a baby pacifier. $16 on Amazon. Took 2 days to get used to but snoring is in the rear view mirror.

The mandibular devices made my jaw sore and teeth feel out of line for 30 min every morning. Saw Joe Rohan talk about the tongue sleeve and for less that $20, I gave it a shot. It works.

For me personally that neck brace thing did the trick. I would never ever have thought to try it without seeing it in this video. Thank you so much!

The fact is the CPAP machine is the BEST option. I understand it may be difficult to deal with at first, but try to get over it. CPAP therapy is a life saver. You will sleep like a baby and feel fresh and alert every day. I got mine 5 years ago and had difficulty for the first couple of days, but I understood that it was the only way I was gonna get some real sleep, so I battled through the discomfort. Not really a discomfort just a matter of getting used to it. The effects were immediate. I was a whole new person. Also, if you're overweight, try to lose weight. That makes a huge difference as well. Good luck to everyone.

Bout to look like an NFL linebacker when I’m going to bed 🤣

[carolemccarthy]

I use 2 gel pillows as a wedge effect., works well for me. Did not like the collar or chin strap.
There are several I have not tried.
Thanks for all the suggestions Nick.👍

[TheStoryLineRp]

should i combine techniques? sleep on side, tilt the pillow up, madz in mouth, brace on neck?

[davidjohncox]

Thanks, Nick, you rock!

My Somnomed MAD made my apnea worse and it threw off my bite. It was a bad experience for me, but everyone is different. On a positive note, the dentist who made the MAD for me got me Invisalign to correct my over advanced lower jaw (huge underbite). So I got straighter teeth. 😁 A really strange phenomenon occurred with this: I used to be able to whistle very proficiently, but after this experience, I can’t whistle worth a 💩! 😢

MAD's carried me through my engineering degree. But then I developed TMJ so had to hop on CPAP finally. CPAP went well for 2 years (literally every night for 2 years straight) but then I noticed I was developing a habit where I want to push on my teeth with my tongue. Consistent cpap use seems to be effecting my gums and teeth to the point I am getting headaches from not being able to ditch the habit. The pain shoots from the area I'm pushing on, up to my head. Sleep apnea is such a lose-lose game. Not many achieve CPAP compliance, and the ones that are lucky enough to become compliant long term, get rewarded with teeth problems.

I went from a madk to nasal pillows on my CPAP and it made a big difference

[mumenrider]

I am lucky that I tried the F30i and it was ok (but lots of leaks) and my doc suggested the P30i. I was convinced it wouldn't work because I am a "mouth breather". To my surprise it works perfectly without tape or anything to keep my mouth shut. Your tongue automatically seals the back of your throat. LOVE my P30i!

Precious knowledge Thanks from Pakistan

Have had a jaw advancement mouth piece for a year and it was a miracle until the 11 month mark.

Hi Nick, how do you use the wedge if you don't lie on your back? Or do you?🤔

[MollyRollitt]

Thank you! Perfect overview of the possible options! So helpful 🙏👌👏

[jeremiahkirby]

You look well Nick! If I eat too late it wrecks my sleep. Also sleeping on you right side enables acid reflux. Nothing like waking up gasping to breath right up there with the Charlie horse wake up alarm.

Mandibular advancement devices are recommended treatment for mild to medium sleep apnoea in UK and Germany.
