Though neck position is mentioned in both Sleep Apnea Solution and in the Reset Protocol the X-Ray image shown here immensely helped drive the point home; the T-Rex image was a great choice as a helpful reminder image. Thanks for creating this video.
I can see a connection between this and the savasana (corpse) yoga pose where we lie flat on the floor, and straightening my body, lengthening the back of my neck during meditation. Sometimes, I am happy to see my nose clear up while meditating. If I practiced these more regularly, I know my breathing would be easier. I used to tuck in a pillow underneath by chin and tuck my chin in it, and I would sleep well. This is also a reminder to go back to yoga. Thanks for this reminder.
You’ve made an excellent connection! Savasana and neck-lengthening postures help align the airway, reduce tension, and promote better breathing patterns. Adding the chin tuck with a small pillow is a brilliant adaptation that naturally supports the airway. Regularly practicing these postures can improve your breathing efficiency and sleep quality over time. Yoga truly complements these techniques-thanks for sharing this valuable insight!
I'm going to get in touch with the current administration and point them your way. We need to make your info mainstream
My breathing already feels better after doing those exercises, thank you champion.
Another great one for posture is lie on a foam roller for 10-15 minutes under you spine. Or a towel if you don't have a foam roller.
That’s wonderful to hear those exercises are making a difference! Foam rolling under the spine is a fantastic addition-it helps open up the chest and improve posture, which can enhance airway alignment. Consistent practice of these habits can lead to even better breathing over time. Keep it up, and for more tips, check out ApneaReset(dot)com!
OMG, I did not realize before that the key is a slower INHALE. I thought I could solve the problem by having longer pauses between breaths to give the tongue time to relax and move out of the airway. It should have been obvious to me but wasn't until you showed that graphic at 3:25 in the video. So, thanks for that and I will now work on learning to inhale more slowly.
the pause also helps! it's both!
When my husband had a sof pillow his head position was all over the place. I bought him a formed memory foam pillow and it has helped a lot.
That’s awesome to hear the memory foam pillow helped! Proper head positioning can keep the airway aligned, reducing snoring and apnea episodes. A pillow that supports the neck and maintains a neutral spine is key. Pairing this with simple nighttime breathing exercises could enhance those results even further.

Can I get a referral to a good neckologian?
I found when I create a double chin when I try to go to sleep I have a more open airway. I drew the conclusion that forward head posture was part of the equation. I think it’s a systemic issue. Not only do I have small maxilla and large tongue but I have ankle and knee inward collapse, canted hips, forward head… it feels like it can be a whole body thing
You’re spot on-forward head posture and airway issues are often part of a larger systemic picture. Small maxilla, tongue posture, and even alignment in the hips, knees, and ankles can all play a role. Everything in the body connects! Addressing these imbalances holistically, through posture correction, breathing exercises, and structural alignment, can lead to lasting improvements.

I would like to understand how breathing exercises practiced during the day can alter breathing during sleep, since we are not aware then of how we're breathing, and for at least part of the time during sleep we are paralyzed.
Great question! Breathing exercises during the day train your respiratory muscles and nervous system, making efficient breathing more automatic-even during sleep. This is because the brain adapts to these patterns, helping to maintain better airway stability and oxygen flow at night, even during paralysis. It’s like building muscle memory for proper breathing. To dive deeper, ApneaReset(dot)com has additional techniques to explore!
I know that the whole key to fixing sleep apnea is to slow down your breathing at night. But just how slow should your breathing be to keep from sucking your tongue/tissues back like a curtain through a window (like a previous video said)? How many seconds should you be taking between breaths? I am asking, because I am trying to slow down my breathing as I go to sleep but I don't know how slow I should be aiming for.
He says to breathe as if someone is in your house and you're trying not to make a noise, slow, calm and quiet.. i'm still learning all the rest of the tips for better breathing.. but I think he and others are saying buteyko breathing helps..
@@countryroadstakemehome Thanks! And check out the comment I left on February 3. Maybe that will be helpful to you.
Slowing your breathing is a powerful tool for managing sleep apnea! Aim for about 4-6 seconds per inhale and 6-8 seconds per exhale. This pace keeps your tongue and airway tissues from collapsing back and helps calm your nervous system for better sleep. It’s about finding a rhythm that feels natural-don’t force it, as that can create tension. For more guidance on breathing techniques, check out ApneaReset(dot)com!
T Rexes have sleep apnea 😂😅😅😂
Funny Fellow throughout !!
😂
Hi - just discovered your channel today, looking forward to watching your videos. I wanted to ask please, as a side sleeper, I don’t understand the situation with how the tongue falls back to block the airway. I can picture how that happens when people are sleeping on their back, but I can’t picture how it happens when they are lying on their side. Would love your insight on this please.
Great question! While side sleeping often reduces the likelihood of the tongue obstructing the airway compared to back sleeping, it’s still possible for the tongue to partially collapse into the airway depending on factors like tongue size, muscle tone, and jaw position. Gravity still plays a role, even on your side, especially if the tongue is naturally more relaxed or if the jaw isn’t properly aligned, allowing soft tissues to shift. Strengthening tongue and airway muscles through exercises can help mitigate this. For more strategies, check out ApneaReset(dot)com!
thank your dog for inspiring this vid... yes, I got your newsletter today. LOL... this is so important.
Thank you--great video
Do you have a solution for central sleep apnea?
Like the exercises. My neck cracked
I have been using a stiff neck collar for the past weeks. I realized once that some of my inappropriate awakenings were with a forward flexed neck that caused me to choke. Would you comment on that possibility to keep a straight neck with the help of a collar?
Using a neck collar can indeed help maintain proper neck alignment, which is crucial for keeping the airway open. A flexed-forward neck can compress the airway, increasing the likelihood of choking or apnea episodes. By preventing your neck from collapsing forward, the collar supports a neutral position, helping airflow remain unobstructed. However, be mindful of comfort and ensure the collar isn’t too restrictive. Pairing this with positional changes and light breathing exercises could further enhance its effectiveness.

I want to feel like I've become a giraffe 🦒🎉😅
People used to call me that as an insult. And I still developed OSA.

Thanks for sharing
It's a neckalotamist...not neckologist, geez.
BTW, many people don't even have to do this to make a double chin.
fair point-neckalotamist it is! And yes, while some don’t need to intentionally create a double chin, for others, this small adjustment can help align the airway and reduce obstructions during sleep. It’s often the simple tricks that make a big difference!
