Sleep Apneoa on YouTube

Whilst bored at home, I have spent man hours scouring YouTube and found the
following videos all about Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, a condition I have suffered
from for 10 years or so and have been receiving treatment in the form of CPAP
(Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) for the last 4 years.

CPAP Is Best
Reuters Health
reports:
People with mild to moderate sleep apnea may benefit more from breathing
pressurized air via a facemask at night than from wearing an oral device while
they sleep, Chinese researchers report.
In addition, losing weight seems to improve disordered breathing during sleep,
but most people can't ease the problem sufficiently with weight loss alone.
...CPAP improved obstructed breathing better than the oral appliance, which, in
turn, improved breathing better than conservative measures alone, the
researchers report. Moreover, CPAP was associated with significantly better
relief from daytime sleepiness.
...Summing up, the researchers conclude: "CPAP produced the best improvement in
terms of physiologic, symptomatic, and health-related quality-of-life measures,
while the oral appliance was slightly less effective."
