nah, you can be a loud snorer without having apnea. granted, it’s usually an early warning sign, but I don’t have any pauses or choking or anything when I sleep. I’m just big guy make loud noise

I’ll get a CPAP machine one day. when the prophecy has been fulfilled.

fortunately I don’t grind or clench at all, I tried one of the Z Quiet ones that are supposed to keep your jaw pushed forward to prevent snoring by keeping your airway open and those were nightmarish. I felt like a horse.

I will likely get a CPAP eventually, but for now I’m still relatively young and decently fit, I don’t have any issues with airflow, I’m just loud. the tape keeps my mouth mostly closed, but not completely, which has also been a game changer for avoiding sore throats when I feel a cold coming on.

I snore pretty loudly, have since I was a kid. doctors told me I have “overdeveloped adenoids” and pretty much always will. it doesn’t bother me, but for my partner’s sake, I’ve tried a few things.

nasal strips didn’t really do anything. the mouth guards are incredibly uncomfortable and I’ve heard they can loosen teeth, so I finally broke down and tried mouth tape. it works pretty well. it improves my sleep a little and my wife’s quite a bit. the name brand stuff is expensive, but it’s basically just KT tape.

I keep plenty of that on hand for sports injuries and now I just cut a piece into little strips and it does the job. although, according to my wife, I still manage to honkshoo mimimimi a bit out the sides of my mouth.
