I have a friend who had severe sleep apnea and was waking up about the same 49 times per hour that you are, but he didn't have the tongue biting problem. He started on a weight-loss regime (was as high as 300 lbs. now down to 185) and started using the breathing machine. Things got better but he was still "waking" up over 20 times per hour. His doc recommended throat surgery (I don't remember exactly what was done), which he had, and has been almost back to "normal" for 9 months now.

I wish I could lose weight and solve the problem. I am not overweight, though.
