Nasty thing sleep apnia.

There are a couple of devices that work if it isn't to severe. One holds your jar forward but puts the weight of your jaw on your teeth and can distort the teeth. The other acts like a sucker on your tongue and holds it forward out of your mouth.

The only solution I know of if it is severe is a CPAP machine. This gives a constant air pressure through a hose to a mask over your face and keeps the airway clear. It is available free if you get yourself tested and the apnia is severe enough.

Cheers biggrin
