There are also these http://www.snoringdevicesthatwork.com/chinup-strip-review/ I haven't tried them but am interested. The Chin-ups look like they might work for someone who doesn't blow air through their lips while their jaw is closed. My problem is I blow air though my teeth and lips when my jaw...

Thanks. Good ideas. I try to stay on my side, but some of those ideas might keep me from rolling onto my back.

A couple of times I've woken up because I can't exhale. This only happens when I'm on my back. It's not a problem with exhaling against the CPAP pressure. The pressure doesn't bother me.
