Q I live alone. How will I know when I have quit snoring?
A When you stop snoring, several changes may occur. Your mouth will not be as dry when you wake up. You may notice that you are not waking up as often or at all to go to the bathroom during the night. You may also notice that you are waking up without headaches (if you used to have them) and feeling more refreshed. You can also tape yourself sleeping.

Q My allergies are bothering me, causing a stuffy nose. Should I begin the program now?
A No. If you are unable to breathe through your nose, you will not be able to perform the necessary exercises for this program. Wait until your nose is clear.

Q I haven’t started this program yet. I think that I sleep great but my wife says that I snore. How can this benefit me?
A It is probably safe to say that your wife is being truthful. You have also probably been snoring for several years, if not most of your life. Our body tends to get “used” to feeling a certain way and we forget or are unaware of how much better we could feel if we actually slept better. Start the program. Follow the instructions and you will probably notice some changes in the way you feel within a few weeks, if not sooner. Some people notice drastic changes within a few days of beginning the program. When your wife comments that your snoring is “quieter” or has stopped, then you should definitely be feeling better.
One thing is for sure: your wife is happier because SHE is now sleeping better! That could benefit you in more ways than one! Take this quiz to see if this is THE program for you.

Q I want to stop using my CPAP machine. Is it going to be possible with this program?
A That answer can only come from your physician or sleep specialist. WARNING: Sleep apnea is a potentially life-threatening condition and anyone who has symptoms of sleep apnea should consult their physician or a specialist in sleep medicine.
There were some participants of this research program who were using a CPAP machine. Most of them still possessed a number of symptoms that might indicate they were not sleeping well so they decided to participate in the study, while continuing to use their CPAP machine. Amazingly, a great percentage were able to feel relief from some, if not all, of their sleep deprived symptoms. Please refer to the CPAP user graph.
Since the program is harmless, it is certainly worth a try. It is NOT recommended that you stop using your CPAP machine without consulting your sleep specialist. If you complete this program and feel that you have a reduction in certain symptoms, then consult your doctor about your continued use of the CPAP machine. Even if you continue to use the CPAP machine, it is possible you will feel better during the day as a result of completing this program.

Q How quickly can I expect to feel results from this program?
A It depends on a number of factors. It depends on your anatomy, the strength of your tongue, your willingness to follow the program, and your desire to decrease your sleep disorder. This program is easy and many people have seen results – remarkable results – in 2 days! Others start seeing results in a week, some in 2 weeks and others may take 6 weeks. The most important thing is that you will see results and you will not be dependent on drugs, machines, dental appliances, chin straps or other aids.

Q Who might benefit from this program?
A People who: snore; breathe through their mouth; wake with a dry mouth; wake up nonrefreshed; wake up with headaches; grind or clench their teeth; choke, gasp or hold their breath while sleeping; wake up sweating; have restless legs syndrome; have attention deficit disorder; have trouble staying awake during the day; have trouble concentrating; have lapses in short term memory; make frequent trips to the bathroom during the night and more. Take this quiz to see if this is THE program for you.

Q I have already had surgery to shorten my soft palate but I am still not sleeping well. Will this program help?
A There are no guarantees for anyone. However, the research results have shown that even people who have had one or multiple surgeries on the uvula or soft palate, can still realize a reduction or elimination of their symptoms.

Q What if I don't understand parts of the program? How can I get help?
A We want to be sure everyone is successful with this program. In order to insure your success, you will have free 24/7 access to online demonstrations of the lessons that complement the already easy-to-read instructions and diagrams. See an example of the FREE online support.
