The mouth guard doesnt work (been there and done that personally) for almost
everyone and evry other treatment for varying reasons cant, either, with me.
Losing weight doesnt necessarily make any difference. I have had sleep apnea
since the day I was born yet I didnt snore and was skinny as anything until
in my mid 20s.

The more sleep for me, the better the chance that I damage my brain. When
you wake up with blood coming out of the nose and eyes just because you were
asleep too long and a headache that knocks you down for 3 days, you learn to
regulate your sleeping patterns to cope to something most people couldn't
do.
