CPAP therapy is the best treatment for sleep apnea and snoring, but many people can't afford it, and others can't tolerate it. Here are a few helpful tips that will improve your sleep and breathing WITHOUT wearing a CPAP mask
Pro Tips
1. Gravity is not your friend! Sleeping inclined will make a HUGE difference. Automatic, adjustable bed frames are fantastic but can be expensive. Another alternative is a wedge pillow; lots are available on Amazon with great reviews. Some sellers move 10,000+ wedge pillows a month.

3. Improve breathing & airflow
Soft-Cervical collars can reduce 'chin-tucking'. There are lots available, and you can buy them at most chemists. Just don't wear them too tight.
I do love Hostage tape. Mostly just because of the branding, but the nasal strips and mouth tape are excellent. https://cpap.review/hostage

4. Before Bed
These days, everything you eat & drink will impact your breathing. Go and test it for yourself. Grab a meal at Maccas and monitor your breathing 30-60 minutes later. You will notice it's much harder to breathe, and you will start clearing your throat. Fasting for 3 hours before bed is tough, but it's so good. Try it one night, and you will never look back.
I love a warm sinus rinse. It just flushes out any dust, mucus, or crap in my nose and combined with a hot shower, it's a great way to start the night.
Cold air also restricts breathing and causes congestion, so warm the room.
