Unfortunately, digeridoo playing is just as disruptive to partner's sleep as snoring is. Perhaps they should try bagpipes?
A friend of mine started "blowing air into water with an straw" (making bubbles) very seriously. I was very skeptical to say the least; but after a couple of months the effects have been very eye opening. Not only it has helped sleep apnea and snoring but also helped with reducing their weight. They had an online group and most participants reported the same. The wight loss was reverted when they stopped for some per…
Unrelated to the health aspects, but if you like electronic music and the Didgeridoo check out Aphex Twin's album "Digeridoo". It's so good.

I'm actually trying this right now for my moderate sleep apnea. I had an AHI of 17 a few years ago and then I had deviated septum surgery and taught myself how to breathe through my mouth using mouth tape. And had a love-hate relationship with CPAP and finally got consistent with it in the past year. And now I found a new sleep medicine doctor who agreed to help me try out this claim in the study. (Previous sleep doc…
It costs less and you get more data, every night, instead of just 2 samples.

Someone really needs to properly do the science on this I (presumably like the majority) assumed that sleep apnea was at least partially caused by weight gain, but if there is weight gain caused by sleep apnea it’s going to give doctors some new tools
There is plenty of proper science on this. Weight gain does not cause obstructive sleep apnea until you get into extremes (e.g. huge necked bodybuilders or people with so much fat on their chest that they physically struggle to move it to breathe). Sleep apnea makes it harder to lose weight and easier to gain weight. Having sleep apnea and being heavier can make sleep apnea worse. Losing weight quickly can make sleep…

Not sure why the other reply got downvoted to death. Commenter is right. The same motor seems to power resmed CPAP and resmed BiPAP. Haven't tried jailbreaking my own yet, but maybe I should give that a go.

Reminds me of that guy who started drinking water upside down to train his swallow muscles and cure his chronic heartburn.
There's some science on training those muscles, even without upside down drinking. "Dry swallowing" while on an incline seems to do the trick just fine. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9550520/
I played with my didgeridoo 3 times a day for ten years and it cured my snoring. But I went blind.
