The impact of tirzepatide was evaluated over 52 weeks.

Researchers found that tirzepatide led to a significant decrease in the number of breathing interruptions during sleep


I wonder how they measured this over 52 weeks. Did they just turn a cpap down to near 0 and measure events? Or did the test subjects have to wire themselves up with those 20 or so colored wires that you do during a sleep test?

There is also a smaller, less intrusive device that can be used at home. It still has lots of wires, though.

I did a sleep study at home over Memorial Day weekend.

I wore a monitor on my left wrist with cap that fit over my little finger and a wire leading to my . It kept track of vitals.

It also had a monitor that I applied to the skin/bone at the base of my neck. It picked up the vibrations when I was snoring.

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea after I did that study.
I have an appointment in July where they are going to recommend treatment.

My question to ALL of you is have any of you tried the mouth guards either advertised on the internet/Facebook OR had one made by your dentist?

FYI, my dentist was the person who diagnosed me based on grinding my teeth and me telling him I snore like a freight train. According to my wife/son.
