"I originally started using the device, by breaking off the soft palate
lifter as I had trouble with gagging and found the device worked well except for a lot of saliva. A couple weeks
later I purchased another having been told that the device works better with both tongue retainer and soft palate lifter in
place. I found that I can now tolerate the soft palate lifter after more practice. I will keep the original device for spare
parts.
The saliva problem has gone away and I'm dreaming more and waking up less. I found
with CPAP that I was getting tired during the day even though my apneas were being treated. There was always leaks, cleaning,
hose getting in the way, the full face mask was pulling my lower jaw in and my sleep doctor prescribed Madofinal
to keep me alert during the day, just prior to me researching for an alternative treatment.
You
mention two advantages with your device on your web page, but I found that by having my teeth in the mouth piece my lower
jaw does not fall back and this also helps.
I just want to say, I'm now CPAP free, more alert when I'm awake,
I have less wake ups during the night and not in need of any medication. Thank you, Harry!

The sleep study with your device resulted in 0 obstructive apneas but central
apneas. The 3.7 result was cpap at home. The central apneas I had instead could not be explained. My wife and I have
put it down to the anxiety of attending the sleep study.
