Does anyone have sleep apnea? What do you do to treat it at home?

Drop some weight, sleep on your side. I'm not a health professional, I have only personal experience: my dad, father-in-law, and husband all struggle (or struggled) with sleep apnea. Please don't ignore this condition, as it can be very dangerous.My dad was sleepy all the time from not getting enough oxygen/enough sleep at night, and both he and my father-in-law fell asleep while driving and totaled vehicles.

They were not badly injured, thank the Lord. The idea is to breathe well while sleeping.To this end, my dad wears a breathing machine that gently blows air into his nose/mouth all night. My father-in-law was advised to sew a tennis ball into the back of a t-shirt to keep him from sleeping on his back, as the apnea is more pronounced in that position.

My husband was starting to get a bit heavy, and showing some apnea symptoms."Roll onto your side sweetheart," I said a lot during the night. But when he dropped thirty pounds, the symptoms went away completely.

Sedatives and muscle relaxers can aggravate sleep apnea so you can try to avoid those if possible but the main treatment is the machine and it takes forever to get used to the stupid thing.

A good friend of mine does If you know you have sleep apnea, go to a sleep clinic or ask you doctor to prescribe a CPAP machine for you. They're commonly covered by insurance and work like a charm.
