What a ridiculous post. Please leave the Reddit pseudoscience at the door.
There are researchers actively working and studying people with sleep apnea. They're not suffering from "forward head posture" or "breathing wrong".
I have severe sleep apnea and no amount of "breathing exercises" are going to cause my soft palate to uncollapse itself while I'm trying to get REM sleep.
Its been established head posture is a factor. It’s also intuitive - the posture of your head affects the angle of your airway. This is why some patients wear cervical braces to sleep.
Do you run regularly?
Overweight by chance?
I've put on a bit of weight sunce having kids and my breathing at night is much worse than before.
You have no idea what you're talking about and it shows by what you choose to type.
It's not exclusively caused by fitness or lack thereof. A cursory Google search would show you this. It's not "breathing at night", it's literally suffocating in your sleep.
This place used to be full of intellectuals. It's a real shame.
Wow you sound very defensive.
If it's not obvious I meant breathing while sleeping at night in a sleep apnea discussion, I think you need to analyse your own internal bias and possible self-hate.
I'm very sure i have sleep apnea now as i wake up literally in panic where i'm not breathing + have a full bladder and need to go a few times a night (which i've read as a kidney response with sleep apnea).
As i said this all came about with extra weight gain in the past few months.
Gross.
Yes! It is a shame that this kind of nonsense gets upvoted. Pure snake oil.
I’m not selling anything, you can learn any of these exercises online for free and there’s no risk. The guy in the article is the one trying to make billions of dollars selling you a pill that alters your brain chemistry and you’ll need to buy monthly for the rest of your life.
