Testosterone levels are lower in men who don’t get adequate amounts of quality sleep.

Sleep Apnea Suppresses Testosterone Production


Both LH and testosterone levels are reduced by sleep apnea sufferers.  The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism published a report showing that men with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) reported lower morning serum testosterone levels and decreased libido.

Poor quality sleep also makes it more difficult to build muscle tissues. So if you are a man suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) you may be surprised to know that your lack of quality sleep is severely jeopardizing your ability to build muscle after hitting the gym.

If you’re looking for an effective way to treat Sleep Apnea and/or to improve the quality of your sleep by cutting out snoring, take a look at this sleep apnea breakthrough.

What’s even more concerning is that a large percentage of sleep apnea sufferers don’t even know they have sleep apnea. If you aren’t getting a quality sleep each night, see this article for a listing of sleep apnea symptoms.

Anyone who’s ever actually used a CPAP mask will attest to the fact that they’d swear the people who designed these machines obviously don’t suffer from Sleep Apnea themselves.  If they did, they would invent something that cures sleep apnea without being subjected to the torture of traditional CPAP masks.

12 Million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, and when they turn to their doctors for help they are often steered towards purchasing an expensive Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine which wouldn’t be so bad if the mask wasn’t such a torture to wear.

When we sleep, we tend to move around and CPAP machines require a good seal to work properly so in order to prevent seal leakage, most people have to really tighten the straps on their CPAP masks.  Doing that, however can result in having a sore area around the seal and possibly even reduced circulation to that part of your nose and face.

It’s these kinds of issues that cause people to inevitably give up on CPAP all together and suffer with sleep apnea symptoms, thinking there is no hope.  Leaving sleep apnea untreated, however, can lead to a whopping 30% increase in heart attack or death according to a study conducted by Dr. Neomi Shah, M.D. of Yale University.

It’s studies like these that demonstrate the need for alternatives to CPAP machines and masks, with 50% of those who try CPAP machines giving up on them entirely.

Luckily, there is a breakthrough sleep apnea product called My Snoring Solution available on the market today that offers relief to sleep apnea sufferers.  It was invented by Stephen Matthews, who almost died from obstructive sleep apnea 5 years ago.  His near-death experience inspired him to invent a very simple and much less expensive alternative to CPAP machines.

Stephen’s invention is a jaw supporter device which fits comfortably around your head while you sleep.  It’s much more comfortable than any CPAP mask, and clinical studies have shown it to be effective in reducing sleep apnea and snoring symptoms at night.

CPAP machines work by providing a stream of air pressure through a nose mask that is supposed to prevent the occurrence of apnea episodes during the night.

However, it is not by moving air through the airway that the sleep apnea machine keeps the airway clear, but rather by maintaining a steady pressure through the nose mask.

Sleep Apnea Machine Components

The basic components of a sleep apnea machine are:
  • The Flow Generator – This is the actual (CPAP) machine that provides the airflow.
  • The Hose - This is a tube that connects the flow generator to the mask.
  • Mask – This is the mask that provides the pressurized air to your airway.  Usually this is done through a nose mask.

CPAP Machine Brands

There are many different brands of CPAP machines.  Some of the more common brands are:

Challenges with CPAP Machines

One of the biggest challenges with CPAP machines is that a lot of people have trouble getting used to sleeping with them.  Having pressurized air pumped into your airway through the nose is not really something most people find comfortable.

Some people that try CPAP Machines develop rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal passage way), while others experience a runny nose.

The other challenges with sleep apnea machines is that they can be pretty expensive for those who don’t have full medical insurance coverage, with some models running into thousands of dollars, as well as being difficult to travel with.

Trying to bring a sleep apnea machine onto an airplane in your carry-on luggage takes up room, and may create additional hassles when getting through security.  If you try to put the machine in your check-in luggage, it may get damaged.

Some of the less expensive models are made from materials that aren’t very durable and may generate a lot of noise.

Also, doctors agree that most people have to go through many different types of machines, with different types of masks to find one that may work for them and that is comfortable enough to be able to sleep through the night without ripping the mask off.  Depending on where you try to purchase your machine, they  may provide several models to take home and try, but this is not always available in all situations such as for example when you’re purchasing your machine online.

Sleep Apnea Machine Accessories

There are also many different types of accessories that may need to be purchased for your machine such as:
  • Humidifiers - These accessories increase the humidity levels of the air being pumped into the mask.
  • Ramps - Used to ramp up the air pressure in the mask for people who have trouble falling asleep with the mask when it’s fully pressurized.  Once the person falls asleep the mask slowly ramps up the pressure.
  • Data Logging - More sophisticated machines can log data from the machine to be later analyzed by their doctor or physician.
  • Pressure Relief for Exhalation - This accessory makes it easier for the person to exhale with the pressurized mask on.
  • Chin Straps – An alternative to full face mask systems, this device keeps your mouth closed during sleep so that you don’t inadvertently just start breathing through your mouth, defeating the purpose of the CPAP machine.

Alternative Solutions

One of the challenges with finding a suitable solution to your sleep apnea is that manufacturers of sleep apnea machines make a lot of money by selling these expensive machines.  It wouldn’t make any sense for them to try to find any alternative solutions, unless there was a large profit to be made.  Sleep apnea machine manufacturers are in the business of making a profit, so that is all we can really expect from them.

Five years ago, Stephen Matthews almost died from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and out of the sheer frustration of not being able to find a solution to his sleeping disorder he came up with a simple idea for a jaw supporter device that he thought might help him to get some sleep.  To his surprise, the simple idea actually worked extremely well and he was able to begin sleeping well once again.  He then began his quest to develop what is now the most comfortable sleep apnea solution on the planet – The My Snoring Solution Mask.

Stephen’s invention was showcased recently on a TV medical show that talked about the risks and disadvantages of using CPAP machines and as well as the risks and complications associated with getting surgery for sleep apnea.

What Customers Are Saying About The “My Snoring Solution” Sleep Apnea Mask

Karen S“I purchased your snoring solution head gear out of desperation. I have most of the symptoms listed and I was supposed to get a CPAP machine but my insurance didn’t cover it, nor did I want to be hooked up to a machine nightly. I purchased your product and found it surprisingly comfortable!

It also works!! I now sleep through the night, getting up only once for a bathroom break, not up and down for hours. I don’t snore, I don’t spend hours trying to get back to sleep during the night and I fall asleep within a couple of minutes of first lying down at night. I have only had it for a week but my hopes are that it will help with the energy level and depression also. It isn’t even as unattractive as I had imagined. My only request, from my husband, is can you make it in black lace?? LOL”

Bo Nicky Cable“Our 5-year old son was diagnosed as ADHD. We had received notes from his teacher regarding his inattentiveness on a regular basis. At night, his snoring was so loud we could hear him even when we closed his bedroom door, and ours.

We had heard about the My Snoring Solution jaw supporter and its effects on snoring and when we saw the CNN news article (below) we decided to order one. It arrived on a Friday and he began wearing it every night (btw, he loves it!)

Next Friday, when he came home from school he had won the “Golden Bear Award” for the week. This award goes to the student who was most well behaved during the week.

Attached to the award was a note from the teacher. This time she said, “Caleb has shown a 180 degree turnaround in his attentiveness this week. Did you start him on medication? If so, what kind?”

Needless to say, we love our My Snoring Solution jaw supporter! It’s amazing.”

drnick_schaeffer“I was the quintessential snorer! Seriously, I had a reputation as the loudest in my dorm at college. Nothing much has changed. In fact, my snoring may be one of the primary causes of my divorce. Currently, I live with my mom and she could hear my snoring with my door closed and the TV playing.

When I saw the My Snoring Solution jaw supporter online, I thought, “I’ve got nothing to lose” and I ordered one. I began wearing it (at night) from the first day it arrived. My snoring ceased immediately. This is the only anti-snoring product that I can recommend as it is the only one that has ever worked for me, and I’ve tried them all!”
- Dr. Nick Schaeffer

drderek_mahoney“The jaw supporter is a great product and may have some promise in the treatment of TMJ. I feel that it may also help reduce bedwetting among children.

Eight out of 10 children referred to me for bed-wetting problems have a narrow palate. If the roof of the mouth is particularly narrow, the tongue is pushed back and can partially block the airway during sleep.
My girls wear a jaw supporter to bed every night.”
- Dr. Derek Mahoney
Orthodontist at the Price of Wales Hospital Sydney, Australia
valerie_arseneau“The My Snoring Solution jaw supporter is the greatest thing to happen for the prevention of snoring and OSA since CPAP.

No matter your age or body weight, you have a good chance that this product will work for you. It has tremendous promise.”

    Sleep apnea triggers the body’s stress response system (fight or flight) which decreases the amount of blood pumped to the heart.  The repeated sleep apnea episodes occurring every night for a few years can starve the heart of enough oxygen when it is combined with the decreased oxygen intake due to frequent breathing stoppages during the apnea episodes at night.

    Studies such as this one are now showing the severity of the sleep apnea sleeping disorder which was previously mostly ignored by doctors.  If you or your loved ones suffer from sleep apnea or snoring / breathing problems at night, there is a Sleep Apnea Breakthrough product now available on the market.  Click here to learn more.
