I am always amazed at the lengths we will go to get a good night's sleep. While snooping around in several Sleep Apnea Message Boards I stumbled across a post that suggested using a "Cervical Collar" to prevent mouth breathing !! HUMMMMM Could this possibly work ? The poster said ...the collar prevents the lower jaw from dropping....thus controling mouth breathing............ Wow !! what a sight...Mask....hose....machine....humidifier.....cervical collar..... what next ?? Any thoughts ?

PS The poster also said ...it's not that uncomfortable. I did a quick search on Cervical Collars.....and found that many are made of soft foam and are adjustable.............hummmmmm still thinking about this

I'm going to ignore the whole "cervical collar to cervix" portion and address the actual use of a cervical collar.. That may work for some people but I snore with my mouth closed. Yes, I was blessed with large tonsils and a large soft palate. So as soon as those tissues relax, I'm sawin' logs! So a cervical collar would just give my boyfriend one more thing to tease me about...........
