I have had massages using the pillow Wilbur talked about and I find my sinuses get closed
when I am lying face down. As soon as I turn face up, it clears up and I can breathe again.

i was able to quit my dependence on a Cpap device by sleeping with my stomach and face down, thereby preventing the flabby tissue at the read of my palate from falling back across my breathing passage. This is simply done my placing the kind of face rest found on most massage tables, which opens the space below for breathing through the nose and mouth. Many sleep labs and Cpap providers are owned, at least in part, by the doctors prescibing Cpaps, thereby providing a conflict of interest. The sleep lab I was tested in simply refused to test me in a face-down position, apparently knowing that this would obviate need for a Cpap. Therefore, I hired an independent sleep specialist to test me with this passive device, and the test proved that my breathing was completely unimpaired in the face-down position. This simple massage-type head rest, properly designed, can be easily transpored and required no water reservoir, no electrical hook-up, no hose, etc., and furthermore has allowed my wife to enjoy a companionable and sexually active bed partner. It has given me the best sleep I've ever had and completely turned my life around. Try it for yourself. And beware of doctors, sleep clinics, and Cpap providers whose vested interests encourage them to dissuade you from not having to rely upon a Cpap. Most of these know of this far superior alternative, although many, out of sheer lack of imagination, have never tested it. Neither surgery nor a Cpap need be your first recourse to your sleep apnea problem.
