if you are a mouth breather - here is simple fix

[tres_taco_combo]

as a mouth breather... i became one even more noticeable as i got bigger - maybe something do with nap/trap size?

-my sleep isnt as good when i breath with my mouth
-id get dry throat often
-tonsil stones - those smell so terrible i will still smush them into a ball and smell them   - only get those when I was breathing through my mouth at night
-snoring

i dont know if i have sleep apnea or not

i bought this headstrap/device and wear it bed. works like a charm. took me a week to used to it but big winner. i never snore anymore either

Anti Snoring Chin Strap

I'll have to buy one and give it a try. Was thinking they were a lot more expensive.

you start with that shit you end up bringing a gagball to bed

not saying its bad, just saying be careful

You have to be careful that you are not ignoring a deeper problem.  If you still have apnea, stopping the snoring doesn't solve the root problem.

Looks cool too 

But seriously - glad it works for you, my snoring can sometimes give me bruised kidneys (where my wife punches me while I'm asleep)

Unfortunately if you've had your nose broken a few times and ended up with a partial occlusion on one side (don't worry, I'm still handsome  ), then as your body cycles from each nostril during the night a device like this might occasionally wake you up with a choking sensation...

I've been thinking about something like this instead... anyone used something similar..?

...wake you up with a choking sensation...

This is the number one symptom of apnea...

So that...apparatus, is less intrusive than a cpap?

It is necessary to identify the root problem. This may happen if you go to a doctor or get help on the forum.

Obesity is a causal factor in sleep apnea.

Eat less.

Being a fat ass can cause sleep apnea, but so can a lot of other things. Ironically too much muscle in certain areas can cause it too.

Obesity is a one of many causal factors in sleep apnea.

So is having a blocked nostril - took me a few years to work this out in the days before Wikipedia 

"Nasal Cycle
The nasal cycle is the often unnoticed alternating partial congestion and decongestion of the nasal cavities in humans and other animals. It is a physiological congestion of the nasal concha, also called the nasal turbinate, due to selective activation of one half of the autonomic nervous system by the hypothalamus."

I'd be afraid that thing would choke me out if my nose ever got plugged up.
