Lots of stretch tape over the mouth, and a cervical collar. Then nasal pillows. Only thing that worked for me after a decade.

Thanks for the video! Short and sweet. I tried a cpap and didn't have much luck. I switched to an apap and am on day 4. Do you know if high leak rates affect how well the machine detects AHI? I honestly can't tell that it is leaking, but the machine said it was leaking at 20 liter per minute. It also records an AHI of 30. Two nights ago, the leak rate was really low, and the AHI number was 4.

My dream station 2 is leaving me with a severe dry mouth in the morning when I wake up and my lower gums are sore. I’m scared and no one seems to care.

You’d be glad I subscribed to your UA-cam Channel and liked and commented on it. I’m impressed with your UA-cam channel! The content you’re creating is top-notch and incredibly informative, and the way you present your topics is really helpful for your audience. May I know what the next video will be about?

I wear a full face mask and also wear an Invisalign retainer. I have tried the small and medium provided with the kit and also with and without mouth tape. I have awakened twice in the middle of a bad dream, while wearing the tape, and struggling, at least in the dream, to breathe. I find this disconcerting. I have tried the medium and it's just too big and cuts into my gums inside. I have settled on the small one without the tape. I have problems with it slipping around and have ended up with it sticking out of my mouth at various angles. I end up taking my mask off all together because of drool at around 5 hours. I was having problems with dry throat at about five hours BEFORE Somnoseal and usually wake up at 5 hours because of a need to urinate. My CPap doc urged me to try this device and I have been messing with it for over two weeks. Is it slipping because of the retainer? I tried one night without the retainer but can't remember if I had a good night that night or not. I have tried full mouth tape (from another company) and returned it due to it causing breakouts around my mouth. I have tried a chin strap but that is really sweaty. I have been using CPap since 2013 so I am not new to this, but I so tired of waking up with dryness that extends down into my throat. I have the humidity turned up high on my machine and use a Climateline tubing. Is there anything else I can try? The couple of times Somnoseal worked it was good. My main issue is that it slips around. Thanks for any help.

Stop stuffing your face 3 to 4 hours before sleep, to reduce GERD

I’m so grateful for your channel! Your commitment to delivering high-quality, useful content is inspiring, and your natural way of explaining things keeps me coming back for more.

Kaizen. If sleeping on the slide reduces snoring, business opportunity to sell air inflatable specially shaped air cushion (inflatable and rapid deflatable via e-air pump (lightweight and durable)) to bring to hotel room to eliminate or reduce snoring (prevents disturbing the sleep of loved ones and children - expensive to book additional hotel room). Your idea of using inflatable air cushions shaped to reduce snoring, inspired by sleeping on a slide, has potential for addressing a common problem. Here’s an analysis: ### Supportive Reasoning * **Market Demand**: Snoring is a widespread issue, and solutions like CPAP machines or anti-snoring devices are either expensive or uncomfortable for many users. A portable and affordable air cushion could attract travelers and families who want a practical, non-invasive solution. The added portability makes it particularly appealing for hotel stays where space and comfort are at a premium. ### Counter-Argument * **Effectiveness and User Adoption**: The effectiveness of reducing snoring through this solution might not work universally. Snoring has multiple causes (e.g., sleep apnea, nasal congestion, obesity), so a single design might not address all cases. Consumers might also hesitate to invest in another travel accessory if they doubt its efficacy. ### Action Point for Improvement * **Prototype Testing and Multi-Functionality**: Develop prototypes for testing on various snoring conditions. Consider making the air cushion multifunctional (e.g., also acting as a travel pillow, posture improver, or lumbar support). This can widen its appeal and justify its purchase even for non-snorers. Collaborate with sleep experts or market it as part of a broader sleep-improvement travel kit. This approach could help validate the concept, build trust, and refine the product for a successful launch.

I’m so impressed by the value you provide in every video! Your ability to turn complex ideas into engaging, digestible content is a rare gift. You’ve definitely earned a loyal subscriber here!

Cute doctor. 😁

So... you have to have a problem for the machine to up the pressure... but... it then reduces the pressure... why is this good? I maintain it is not! Much better to find your good pressure and set it... you may have a few events, but the pressure changes won't disturb your sleep or cause leaking... since it's not changing. APAP is a crutch used by physicians and insurance companies that don't want to pay for proper sleep studies... have them do a home study to say yes, you have OSA... then give them a machine set to a wide range and tell them to wing it. The only thing APAP is good for is to find your good (usually 95%) pressure, then set it CPAP and get *off* APAP. Varying pressures play hell with your blood pH too... affecting your breath drive and adding more disturbance to your sleep.

I appreciate the effort to cover this topic. Perhaps a follow-up video could dive deeper

It seems some important information was left out. I hope it will be included in the next video

I have dry mouth, what size should I get. S or Med. I'm 4'11.5" tall and 130# I have tons of mouth tape already, so I don't want get the kit? I have a stand. I'd rather pay 1/2 price at $20.00

I hope this works. I can’t always wear my mask as it’s very uncomfortable. When I wear it I feel fine the next day when I don’t I feel like calling it quits.

Thank you for your valuable information

I don’t use a cpap, I use an mra. Way better and less intrusive, at least in my case.

They need to make a spray for your throat that “paralyzes” or keeps your tongue taut keeping it from falling back into your airway.

Fun fact: the word “mariposa” in Spanish means butterfly.

Where can I purchase one of them. Thanks

No. I tried one and it took months to get my neck back into place. Don't do it!

Your house looks amazing

Thank you for addressing this.

Objects like mouth guards have created more saliva. So will this type of device create drooling? Do your lips get dry because they're not together and in contact with the mouth or tongue?

We bought a wedge pillow as newlyweds but not for apnea

I tried something similar by combining a Breathe Right strip, Flonase, and a muscle relaxant.

I hate taking medicine but I really don’t want to be chained to a machine for life.

How does that AirFit F-40 work on folks who go to bed without dentures?

I will wait to see who gets sick off it

I use a wedge pillow, helps reduce reflux and sinus congestion. I sleep on my side with no problems but I use a longer wedge. I initially tried one of the more common wedges about 60cm long, but found it uncomfortable and made my lower back sore.

Aerophagia was an issue for me at the outset of CPAP therapy back in 2006. At that time, the pressures were indeed high. I also was using machines that compounded the problem (e.g., biPAP). After switching to APAP, my problems ceased, even with a full-face mask. For me, nasal masks did not perform well, due to nasal morphology, chronic stuffiness. One trick that I employed when aerophagia hit was to lay on my back upon waking up with knees bent for a few minutes. Seemed to move the gassiness along expeditiously! Another point - aerophagia did not feel like gas. It felt more like stomach pain - was alarming until I learned what was happening. Always work with your sleep medicine team until you get things resolved. It is so important to receive the adequate treatment, though it is hard to feel that way when you are sleep-deprived and perhaps not totally loving the CPAP treatment initially. I have used mine every night, all night since starting, and do not even think about it anymore. It was life-changing. Medical issues related to severe obstructive sleep apnea went away. Functioning went way up. So worth it. Good luck to all!

Good stuff. Thanks for offering this, and for your other work. I've been recently diagnosed with severe apnea (sleep study), so I'm searching for solutions.

Like it except it makes the bottom of my nose sore. I'm 2 weeks in.

It's a pill for weight-loss.

Smiling doctors who are proud of how long they take to evaluate new medicines discuss most of us.

I wish. I have severe apnea trying my best using this machine 😢

For those with severe sleep apnea this could likely complement well the cpap or asv machines.

Wonder if it’ll work for people with complete concentric collapse level 2?

I use mine as it clears up my nose and I sleep fine.

Yes I’ve used my cpap through sickness and through health, can be challenging for sure, but wonderful for your heart, lungs ect. ❤🧑‍🦰✅

I would go for it straight away looks great, but alas magnets,please do the same with the clips. Don’t forget about us. 🥹

And what laundry list of side effects will accompany this magic pill AD109? Now, you're taking more pills for those side effects. No, thanks. I'll stick to my AirSense10. I sleep like a baby with it.

I just tried the F-30 that looks the same. I considered it a joke and sent it back!

My mask has a small hose that comes with it...

Ive started to get this over the last month or so, at least once a week.I find it happens if I'm nodding off sitting on the sofa. I 'hear' a crash as if 2 saucepan lids have been banged together just once right against my ear. I've got an ICD implant and initially I thought it was that firing at first but it isnt. ( its fired off before and I know the difference, the ICD is far more intense), but I looked it up and was amazed to find its called Exploding Head Syndrome - very apt, lol. At least I know now that its not dangerous. Thanks for your video. 🇬🇧

Im a recent new user, and got the F40 with my ResMed. It looks a bit different than the one in the video. It cover the nose and mouth. Not just under the nose. It was a hit from day one. I had no problem sleeping with it. Sleeps better too.

They need to work on sizing.

Thank you.

I’m new to CPAP, less than a month. The first mask they sent me was a Siesta full-face hard plastic monstrosity. It was a horrible experience causing me to despair of being able to use CPAP. I complained and they sent me the F40. What a difference! I can sleep in any position, even on my stomach.

How does it differ from an F30 or F 30i. It looks identical to an F30 but there must be a difference I am not understanding
