So what these people do, there's a bunch of different things.

You can put little tape on your mouth, you can sleep on your side.

But one of the main things they do is to train you to breathe very lightly during the day.

Just that breathing that we were doing.

For instance, if I were to ask you to breathe heavily through your mouth right now and make a snoring sound, how hard is that?

Okay, you can do this without a very, very rich snoring sound.

There it is.

Now breathe very slowly in and out through the nose and try to make that same sound very slowly with your mouth closed and try to make that sound.

A lot of people say this is a mechanical thing.

There's too much air flowing in.

And so you make that snoring sound.

Sleep apnea is a different thing.

That's when you choke on yourself.

It can be from your tongue.

Most of the time the tongue is falling back or there's constriction.

If you are morbidly obese, very obese, you can get this lateral compression.

against the throat, right?

And there's some things that happen in the nose.

People are given CPAPs as a cure for it.

It cures nothing.
