personal, at home sleep apnea test?
Is there a testing device one can purchase to check to see if they have sleep apnea without having a sleep study test performed by a medical sleep specialist?

side sleeping
Has anyone had success decreasing their apnic events by learning to sleep on their sides instead of their backs?
If so, how did you teach yourself to stay on your side throughout the night?
Thank you.

Re: Sticky: Phillips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread
The air intake does not either go through or across the foam. The foam is strictly for sound proofing and rests on the bottom of the machine at least an inch or more from the intake channel. I took my oldest (2010) machine apart. I disagree with your assessment. The foam is the floor of the air pat...

Re: Sticky: Phillips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread
In the next few days I will take my own Phillips System One apart and take photos to examine whether or not the foam is directly involved with the air-intake. I will upload the photos. also, in reply to the last few replies to my comments: the foam does not "surround" the intake channel...it blanke...
