All this is very interesting. I've just set up an appointment to go to the sleep clinic for the second time. I tried the CPAP back in '91 and couldn't stand it, but my Doc says they have improved masks now !?! We'll see.

I've heard of the laser surgery, but have always been afraid it might affect my singing voice - which is kind of a touchy point between me and my spouse, since I don't sing for a living! We've slept in separate beds for years because of the snoring.

Of course I was the one that had to have the vasectomy, instead of her having her tubes tied, so, being a typical stubborn male, I'm reluctant to always be the one under the knife (or the laser).

I've tried the nose strips, and variations of the tennis ball - they don't do diddly.
