Here's my prescription: Drink two or more glasses of wine before bed every night.
That’s good advice, since Bevin is one of the beneficiaries on my life-insurance policy:
Alcohol and some medications relax airway muscles. Drinking alcohol can worsen or tip someone into obstructive sleep apnea.
I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have trouble sleeping with a CPAP machine, although it wouldn’t be my first choice for treatment. My first choice for treatment (before doing a whole lot of research) would be surgery if it seemed likely to help, followed by (or supplemented by) one of those little mouth-guard things that pull your lower jaw slightly forward.
