I have been told that I am a chronic snorer. I was tested for sleep apnea and tried to strengthen my throat muscles to mitigate the issue. Circular breathing with the didgeridoo is a very new concept. I had not heard of it until this article, but I would be willing to give it a try.
This is super interesting. I sleep with the loudest snoring man on the planet. My poor boyfriend has the worst sleep apnea and he is just not willing to go for a sleep study. I swear i can hear him stop breathing at night. I will be sharing this article with him. I'm not sure I would have much luck with wind Instruments or a didgeridoo but maybe he will seranade me a little more. Thanks for sharing.
