I'm trying to envision kiralynx's chinstrap also - sounds fascinating!
I too, get hot and claustrophobic wearing a chinstrap, and after almost 2 years decided it was time to give it up. I've tried many times to sleep without it, only to wake up in the morning with the worst (and sorest) desert mouth. So it was off for 1 night only, then again a few weeks later to try again with the same results.
After going camping a couple of weeks ago, I decided to go 'cold turkey' and give up the chinstrap. The first 2 nights I woke with a slightly dry mouth/throat, and a couple of much milder episodes after that. Now apparently I keep my mouth shut all night as I haven't woken with a dry mouth or throat for over a week.
Cheers,
xena
Where do you wear your chin strap.
