Two groups, one mouth-taped, one not. There's only one group that was studied three times. How do you interpret the following sentence?

Be careful what book you choose!

The narrator matters, too. Some are dreadful.

I'm sober

Why??

feel my leakage is still on the higher side On the chart you posted, your mask leak (95% - 15.6) is low. The machines adjust for mask leak up to 35 lpm (manufacturers say 24 lpm). If the leak is not waking you up or causing dry eyes, I wouldn't worry about it. Why did you only post 8 minutes of the...

Note that the improvement was only noted in those not restricted to nasal breathing... what's up with that?

Speaking of cicadas

Let's stop worrying about the double brood hatch.

I read general anesthesia isn’t recommended with sleep apnea. It's common to use general anesthesia on people with sleep apnea. The anesthesiologist should be made aware, and she will make sure you breathe steadily. That's a big part of their job with every patient. Anesthesiologists are often the ...

"Respond"

Is that in the model name on the front of the machine?

Hopefully, some of the users will comment.

Anyone use the Caldera Releaf neck support for sleeping ? Don't get it. Too complicated. Costs too much. A bit gimmicky. Just get a cheap, generic foam cervical collar such as https://www.amazon.com/OTC-Cervical-Collar-Support-Medium/dp/B000JNRLCI I have worn one every night for years. Works with a...

Why, what did the post do?

I've received a couple dozen PMs from members that say, "Why are you apologizing for the post? The post has never done anything to need an apology. It's you that has!"

I was an early adopter...the device was implanted in my right breast in July 2020.
