If benadryl is safe enough for a dog . . . (Or Pugsy)
:lol:
By all means run it by your doctor.
Even herbal sleep aids are too unpredictable to just randomly take.

 So I noticed something last night. I guess I was awake enough to figure out what was going on.

I woke up with a dry mouth last night. Obviously mouth breathing. I rolled over on my side and when I did I felt a slight leak at my nose within a few seconds I had Chipmunk cheecks and my mouth opened. So I am guessing that the slight pressure lose from from the leak at my nose is enough to allow my throat to open so my mouth fills up and wind up with a dry mouth and large leak. Guessing I need to stay on my back. Or would a slight bump in min pressure help this?
here's what i've found to help me-

i'm using jay's rig with slight modifications. works a treat. and it lowered my ahi by a full point.

i also use a firm cervical collar to keep my jaw from sagging in the night.
