Sorry Miko,

Sounds like snake oil to me.
Sincerely,
wading thru the muck of the sleep study/DME/Insurance money pit!

Death is a common cure for snoring also. I'll just use my cpap..

The one thing that occurs to me is: in what way is a device that prods you with accupressure different than the twitches caused by PLM or RLS? In all cases I'm sure an arousal would result, boiling down to EDS.

Looks like a load of rubbish to me!

Maybe it electrically zaps you in your sleep?

I'm all in favour of declaring a moratorium on acronyms - I type pretty fast! But woe to folks on BlackBerries!

So is someone who has so much difficulty with the cpap just SOL? Are there any other options that are remotely effective?
