Because your airway is partly blocked, you\u2019ll start to snore. If the airway becomes completely blocked, you can\u2019t get any air into your lungs, and if this happens, you have sleep apnea.<\/p>\n<p>Your airway may narrow or be completely blocked many times per night without you being aware of it.\u00a0 This constant narrowing and blocking of the airway reduces oxygen to the brain, making you feel sleepy and without energy the next day.<\/p>\n\r\n                                          <\/div>\r\n                                      <div class=\"el-slider-vertical__content-inner\">\r\n                      <h5>Blocked airway<\/h5>\n<p>When your airway is completely blocked, your brain responds to the low oxygen level in your blood by briefly waking you from sleep so that you can take a breath. Your partner may notice that you make a gasping or choking sound when this happens. Constantly being woken up during the night means you don't get into a deep sleep, so you don't wake up feeling refreshed and energetic.<\/p>\n\r\n                                          <\/div>\r\n

I was sleeping with my CPAP device. This posed several problems for me. Most are the obvious: wearing the CPAP mask, trying to sleep with a hose attached to your face, having to travel with it, and then my allergy issues became more severe.<\/p>\n<p>Maintenance is a pain as well. My SomnoDent<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> device has allowed me to enjoy life a bit more without the hassle of a CPAP. And, there is the added benefit of not having to make sure I have a source of power available. Which means, I can go camping again! I would recommend the SomnoDent<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> device to anyone with obstructive sleep apnea. It is life changing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><strong>- Derek<\/strong><\/p>\n              <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                      <div class=\"el-slider-text__slide\">\r\n              <div class=\"el-slider-text__slide-inner balance-elements\" style=\"background-color: #C1CAE3; color: #000000; \">\r\n                <h3>Izy\u2019s story<\/h3>\n<p>For years I fought with my CPAP, I literally tried 15 masks and I will never ever go back to CPAP after discovering SomnoDent<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>.
