There was an interesting article on treatments for snoring and sleep apnea in the December 10, 2010 New York Times “Snoring: What To Do When a Punch in the Shoulder Fails.” The article describes a 43-year-old woman who had a snoring problem and difficulty sleeping. She tried various sleeping methods to eliminate snoring until finally, her dentist made her a snore guard, a very simple and relatively inexpensive solution, which has helped her. I (Dr. Mike) wear a snore guard every night and Tina loves it! You may find out more about snore guards here or you may ask us about them.
