Sleep Apnea Machines
Sleep apnea machines are also known as CPAP (Continuous Airway Pressure) machines. 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
“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

I presently sleep with a bi- pap (with the humidifier) and also an attachment for my Con’t o2 supply during sleep’ If i tried your chin strap I’d be uncertain if it would ne enough for my sleep apnea/ I’ also diagnosed with COPD which is the main reason for my oxygen. I was informed that my levels dropped to barely 80 % . Can you or any one else offer any advise? My husband won’t stay sleeping with me because of the noise my bi-pap creates.
My husband has had surgery for sleep apnea several years ago…..little improvement. He has an older bi-pap machine which he doesn’t like to use.
He has a deviated spectum and is therefore a mouth breather. Could he use your chin strap or does it force you to sleep with mouth shut and to
breathe through your nose?
