Didn’t do Piggy any good, either....

I don’t think my wife would like hearing that all night long..

I presume you need to shove the pointed end in your mouth while you sleep.

Now do bagpipes...

Maybe a shofar?

I wouldn’t have thought of that in a million years.

I used to play trumpet many years ago, and was pretty serious about it. A fellow student clued me onto a book- The Science of Breath, by Yogi Ramacharaka. Don’t let the “Yogi” part throw you, I just used it for the breathing exercises.

It’s available online, and I believe you can download it as a pdf file. Otherwise, it’s inexpensive.

The excercises helped me. I hadn’t thought about that book until I read your post. Maybe you already know about it.

I don’t know if it will help your sleep apnea, but it might. I still have my copy from 50+ years ago, and I think I’ll ease into a few of them again. Hope this can help.
