Dumbest thing Ive ever heard. Anyone who is a loud snorer will sleep better with a CPAP and wake feeling more rested. The S9 Autoset With H5i humidifier is one I use and I now sleep like a baby.

What about EPAP?

Some people can't sleep with CPAP.

Some people have operations. There are a number of treatments.

It isnt claiming to be a replacement for a CPAP, although it could be for non-serious cases. It is a relief technique to make it less necessary.

Blowing a conch shell

Not sure if this is an engine repair issue, or something that Monica Lewinsky would do?

My neighbor snored so loud I could hear it through the walls.

Now he blows a conch shell...

This model is actually a VPAP. Variable pressure. It drops pressure on exhale so the user isnt pushing aganst it.
