I'm actually trying this right now for my moderate sleep apnea.

I had an AHI of 17 a few years ago and then I had deviated septum surgery and taught myself how to breathe through my mouth using mouth tape.

And had a love-hate relationship with CPAP and finally got consistent with it in the past year.

And now I found a new sleep medicine doctor who agreed to help me try out this claim in the study. (Previous sleep doctor had no interest in helping me with that).

So we took another sleep test and AHI is still about 17. I'm doing the didgeridoo for 3 months for 15 minutes a day, using the air didge, which is adjustable but I'm using it in the lowest tone which is A.

And we are going to test again after the 3 months is up!

Your CPAP should already be able to tell you how many AHI you have.

It costs less and you get more data, every night, instead of just 2 samples.
