Put a cork in it.
Before, c-pap the only cure was a tracheotomy where you removed a cork in the hole in the neck to breathe..replacing the cork when you awake to speak again.
I thought this was pretty funny.

More people than you think have tracheotomies to treat sleep apnea and many are living quite well with them. Our member Mack D Jones, MD, SAAN, has written about his very successful skin-lined trach in his book Deadly Sleep.
You can also read about Dr. Jones' experience at http://www.sleepguide.com/profiles/blogs/tracheostomy-for-severe-sleep
BTW, it is a plastic plug and is not actually made of cork.

I know it's a plug,not a cork, and an effective therapy. I just read it on a web page and thought the "cork" part was funny.
