I'm not ready to try surgery and I hate the god damn CPAP. I recently bought a Glideaway ComfortBase Ascend bedframe. It's an adjustable bed frame that allows me to tilt the bed as well as the standard head and foot adjustments. I went with the tilt base because I am a side sleeper and the head adjustment only fricks up my back, with tilt I can sleeping with my head up 6 inches or more and that has helped some. It's not a game changer, but I am getting better sleep.

If you have a low BMI and moderate to severe ahi, you may be a could candidate for the new tongue stimulation (inspire). Think like a pacemaker for your tongue while you sleep.


Interesting, my BMI is normal so losing weight really won't get me anything, will have to look into this.

This is an example of an airway.


Consider a dental option.
