My wife has Sleep Apnea. Has anyone with Sleep Apnea tried this and found it to be useful since they advertise it as an aid for the condition?

This will not help sleep apnea. It does help, but not eliminate, snoring. Snoring is greatly reduced.

I've never used it in the day time but I will say I believe it would work...it's pretty effective in my opinion. I would imagine it would work even if you've gotten nighttime sleep and wanted to use it after but I've never used it like that before either :-)

Yes. It has helped me a lot. It basically creates a relatively clean pocket of air under your nose. Of course, a few things are likely to slip through, but I find it a dramatic improvement.

I honestly don't know. Its possible, and I think it has been reported to do. But there are plenty of causes for snoring. This might address only one of those causes.

Definitely try it. You will be pleasantly surprised how well it opens those nasal passages. Some nights I think I may be able to get thru the night without one, but at 1 o'clock in the morning & I'm having trouble getting to sleep, I get out of bed and put one on so I can breathe easier and fall a sleep. I have been using them for two years now. The EXTRA width band works best for me, but I also have more difficulty in removing it because it adheres so well. Needs lots of water soaking for removal. Wish I could keep it on for more than 12 hrs at a time, it works so well. Side benefit for me was I cancelled a nose operation for perceived nasal blockage, because those wide strips worked so well.

I think it helps my husbands snoring greatly. He used to sound like a train now it more of a soft snuffle:)

It doesn't seem to make me sleepy. I would not use as a sleep aid. On the other hand, it does not keep me awake

My brother has copd and I bought this for him. He informed me if you use it regularly it seemed to help with the depth of breathing. His breath became less shallow and deeper down in the diaphragm so it did help in that area.

I bought this for my husband as a gift about 4 years ago. We go to bed at different times and he is sometimes too tired to use it now but I've heard it too and it seems very realistic to me. Hope that helped. C.M.

I doubt it will work. I snore the same way, Lips Closed but teeth apart. This did not help me.

At first I thought it helped and kept using it for a couple of months. It then was erratic how often I would have to get up at night. I stopped taking it and it and found that it did not affect anything. I am even doing better at night without taking it. Hope this helps.

I have not used it, but my wife thinks it is great. She has US social security disabled. She has loss of strength and feeling in her hands.

I started using these every night when I went to bed.I have had no problem with a dry mouth since. They slowly melt and release enough to help salivation. I have no experience with CPAP , so I can only tell you what they did for me.

It depends on the problem that is causing the snoring. If the problem is in the back of the throat (which it probably is), then no, it wouldn't help. If the problem is that the nasal passages are constricted, then it might.

I have no knowledge of the needs associated with CPAP. I'm guessing your physician has advised you about the need for continuous hydration. I assume you are talking about the placement of two tabs in the the mouth before bed time in such a way as to prevent their quickly dissolving, as the directions instruct. Those tabs could last hours, depending on other factors.

Not sure. We bought this to help with husband's snoring. Works great for that.
