Top CPAP Alternatives to Consider for Mild Apnea 😴💤

Hi everyone! Let’s talk sleep — and more importantly, how to stop sounding like a chainsaw in your own bedroom. My husband snores. Spoiler alert: so do I. We’re talking chainsaw-in-a-closet level snoring. Sometimes he even stops breathing, and yes, it’s terrifying. There’s a CPAP machine somewhere in our house… but it’s collecting dust because sleeping with a vacuum hose strapped to your face? Not exactly the vibe.

So, I went down the CPAP alternatives rabbit hole — full-on 3 a.m. research mode. From nose magnets and mouthguards to buzzing gadgets and positional sleep devices, I tried to figure out which ones actually work and which are just expensive plastic.

Quick disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, just someone who’s done way too much research at questionable hours. Always talk to your doctor or sleep specialist before trying anything new.

Here’s what I cover in this video:
💬 Mouthguards / Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs): Custom-made by a sleep-trained dentist. I dive into options like Somnodent, ProSomnus EVO, and Respire Blue Plus—the gold standard in comfort and performance.
⚡ EXciteOSA: A daytime treatment that uses gentle electrical pulses to strengthen your tongue muscles (basically CrossFit for your tongue). FDA-cleared for mild sleep apnea and snoring, available via springleleep.com.
😴 Positional Therapy: If your snoring or apnea happens mostly when you’re on your back, I talk about devices like SlumberBump, Zzoma Positional Device, and the Contour CPAP Pillow—simple, affordable fixes for side sleeping.
👃 Nasal EPAP Devices: Tiny valves that help keep your airway open as you exhale. I review Bongo RX (reusable, prescription-only) and Optipillows EPAP (over-the-counter). Perfect for travelers or anyone wanting a hose-free option.

The truth? There’s no single winner. CPAP is still the gold standard for moderate to severe apnea. But for mild apnea or heavy snoring, options like Mouthguards, ExciteOSA, Positional Therapy, and Nasal EPAP might be the solution you’ll actually use. Because even the best device won’t help if it’s sitting in your nightstand drawer.
