According to the American Sleep Apnea Association, approximately 22 million Americans have sleep apnea.  This condition causes a person’s breathing to become disrupted and stop and start overnight.  Individuals suffering from sleep apnea often still feel tired the next day, even after getting 7 or 8 hours of sleep.  They may also suffer from various other negative side effects such as irritability, trouble concentrating, and high blood pressure. 

Inspire for sleep apnea is a surgical treatment designed to help individuals with obstructive sleep apnea, the most common type of sleep apnea.  The device opens up the airway while you’re sleeping and helps to facilitate normal, uninterrupted breathing.

No there isn't.  I've dealt with it for probably 20 years and it isn't getting easier.  I'm going to investigate this and if it's reasonable I wouldn't might do it.  I certainly don't object to getting rid of the mask.

I've tussled with MD's for years about them wanting me to evaluate this condition. 

But in my case, I have always been an extremely light sleeper, and I couldn't deal what that contraption on my face.  Like I told them...  Making me do that would probably make me die earlier from sleep depreviaton than sleep apnea.
