I have been the perpetrator of nasal snoring (as opposed to throat snoring) for many years. (sorry, dear wife!) I have tried a great number of interventions – some of which do not apply because it is dependent on my sleeping position, some of which did not work for a variety of reasons. The most common devices to keep the nasal passages open are the strips that adhere to the outside of the nose: great if they have enough force to do their job and enough adhesive to keep them there. Not so great with that sticky remnant every morning unless they have already peeled off overnight. Some in-the-nose devices have worked better to keep the nasal passages open, but they were far from comfortable. Anything with sufficient clamp to hang onto your septum overnight is going to be annoying. So, when I saw Nasivent I thought I would give it a try. Made from surgical grade silicone tubing, the four sizes provided will surely include one that fits your nose. I found that two worked well with
Sleep Apnea treatment: Dental device that allows you to breath through your mouth at night?
I've been officially diagnosed with sleep apnea in the mild to moderate range. I also suffer from depression (probably sleep deprivation induced) and insomnia (late to bed/early to rise). I sleep for between 3 to 5 hours a night. Obviously this isn't enough sleep.I've tried Guard cpap CPAP, but can't get used to it, mainly due to my problems with insomnia (my mind has trouble being "quiet"). I have a hard time sleeping without the distraction of a CPAP, and WITH it.... it's impossible for me to sleep. I litterally just DON'T SLEEP with it on. I've been trying for 2 months (seriously).I know there are dental devices that relocate your jaw and tounge, but I seem to have problems mainly with my "soft palette". I notice that if I breath through my mouth, it's impossible for it to close off. SO, I was wondering if anyone uses or knows of a dental device that would have holes in it to allow you to breath through your mouth at night? Something like a mouth guard with a tube coming out... THANKS!
