    I don't think it helps prevent snoring, though. :)

    My offspring say that when I sing, it sounds like snoring. :D

    That video hints that the maximum benefit comes when you belt out songs, like Sophie Tucker. How about humming? I hum all day, almost undetectable. :( Doubt it.

    I would think so too, you need to exert maximum pressure on your vocals to get maximum benefit from it.
    Just like walking, slow walk and quick paced walk, for ultimate results, imo.

    I doubt if it helps prevent sleep apnea. I've been coping with that for about 20 years, and even when I sing (speaking loosely) it doesn't help much, not to mention that it is dangerous (for me)

    My wife sleeps late in the mornings (average wake time is 9:30 am). I arise very early, usually around 5:30 or 6 am, and if I wasn't careful, I would take a chance of getting hit with something while sitting in the kitchen drinking my coffee and trying to sing.

    side note: 20 years ago I found out sleep ap is a thyroid issue most of the time, or some of the time, and is not difficult to take care of. Most doctors are not trained properly to know this, apparently.

    quik internet search revealed these sites in last two minutes:

    apneamed.org/blogs/info/thyroid-problems-could-also-mean-sleep-apnea-problems
    Testing for Sleep Problems. Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can result in problems that interfere with a good night's sleep. The most prevalent would be obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA. OSA is a pretty common sleep disorder among several different demographics. It's possible that you may have OSA and have no idea that you have it.

    verywellhealth.com/thyroid-hormones-sleep-disorders-3014705
    Obstructive Sleep Apnea Like hypothyroidism, obstructive sleep apnea is a relatively common disorder in the general population. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea often experience symptoms including excessive daytime sleepiness, apathy, and feeling lethargic.

    Thanks Jeff.

    I use a Phillips Dream Station bipap machine; I've already logged 8770 hrs on it, averaging approx 6 hrs per night, for over 4 years now. This machine has delivered the best therapy for me.
    Before that I used several older models, some Phillips and some Resmed

    I also sometimes use a MAD (mandibular advancement device) mouthpiece to keep my jaw from blocking off my air passage in my throat.

    Hugh: re 'dangerous': are there breathing issues while you are awake ?

    ============================================================
    footnote:
    The medical protocol used in the usa since pharmakeia took over is like a clock >

    "It's right twice a day. The number of times it's wrong is an infinite number."

    (and it is only right twice a day by accident or by necessity - not willingly, not helpfully)

    Thus the origin, the cause, the reason for troubles are not taught, sought, nor utilized in helping anyone, no - instead whatever they think makes the most money is utilized as always (by the world and especially harmfully by pharmacy/ama/medcial).

    That (the world's way(s)) is not the Lord's Way at all, either. Healing is in His Wings. Healing is His Goal.
