Can The Sleep Apnea Chin Strap Really Help?
The sleep apnea chin strap is a pretty simple contraption. Being little more than a fabric band that is worn like a harness over the skull and under the chin, this type of chin strap for apnea is gaining a lot of popularity, partly because it is cheap and readily available, but mainly because it offers a non invasive solution to sleep disorders for many owners.
The chin strap cradles the chin during the night, and prevents the sleeper from breathing through the mouth, ensuring that a natural nose breathing pattern occurs, The adjustable models allow you to extend the lower jaw a little to aid the preservation of a clear airway. This jaw repositioning is a very useful feature, and works in the same way that the head position that is maintained whilst in the first aid recovery position does.
It is important to speak with your health care practitioner before using, or changing over to any sleep aid. Your condition may be too severe for this type of product, and maintaining or improving your health is paramount.
That said, these types of apnea and snoring chin straps are usually able to be bought for under $20 USD, making them a very low cost part of your sleep strategy. Check out the local personal care section of a large store, or visit your pharmacy. Many of the online stores offer a really good range of sleep products, with good discounts available too.
One important thing to consider when buying a chin strap is that if you suffer from congestion or other structural problems with your nose, this may not be the snoring aid you need, Closing the mouth when you can’t breathe smoothly through your nose is going to make for an uncomfortable night, and probably not a lot of sleep either.
