It is as uncomfortable as it looks! My doctor gave me a CPAP machine with the nasal pillows and I'd rip it off within the first 15-30 minutes of use. I then tried the full face mask and can now last just over an hour with it on. Unfortunately, as miraculous as Matt Lauer make this solution seem, there is much discussion via sleep apnea blogs regarding how difficult it is for so many to use it. Although it is the least intrusive solution, it is near unbearable for many to use. The other options (bite plate, surgery) are less effective and more invasive. What gives?

More people, especially Baby Boomers, need to know that snoring is not just a joking matter, but that it can actually lead to death. Bottom line, if you have trouble getting to sleep because your partner snores loudly, or if you know you snore, it is important to consult with your health care professional, to find out if you need a sleep study.
