What has worked for me, but with only one month experience: An apparatus that pulls my lower teeth forward, prescribed by a doctor, that keeps me from snoring. Then suddenly, I slept so soundly that I didn’t wake up at odd times during the night. I used to wake up at 2am and stay awake until 6am, only to sleep between 6 and 8 and be late at work.

Can you share more about this apparatus, or what made your doctor think you needed this? Were you investigating sleep issues or dental issues or what.

In French it’s an “orthèse mandibulaire”. It holds teeth together (with a hinge), its role is to push the lower mandibula forwards to get 0.5cm farther from the throat so that air can pass unencumbered.
