Quick story.
Docs requested a sleep apnea test. One goes to a strange place, in a strange bed, and wires you up.
Of course it discovers you dont sleep well. A CPAP machine is often the recommendation, a mask you wear at night to push air in.
Ill grant you that there are many people that DO need this, but Tons of false readings.
First, the tests can be off because you know you have wires on you, a camera, and a strange bed.
I went over my issues, hated trying to sleep with a mask, and fixed my issue by altering the angle
of my throat/head.
I made my own pillow. Memory foam for the bottom with a cutout for my arm/hand, cooling gel in the
middle layer, and a buckwheat pillow on top. Its thicker than others, but still fits a pillow case, and my head is now angled to an open airway.
As we get older, this becomes an issue, but try working your pillows first or new mattress.....
