Didgeridoo and sleep apnea

I read quite a bit about sleep apnea, but this is entirely new to me. There have been reports that playing the didgeridoo can help with sleep apnea. What is a didgeridoo? A didgeridoo is a wind instrument from the Aboriginal tribes in Northern Australia. It is a long wooden instrument made from Eucalyptus trees. So how does it benefit sleep apnea patients? A 2005 study in Switzerland found that playing the didgeridoo helps with daytime sleepiness and sleep apnea. The researchers also concluded that training the upper airway might reduce its collapsibility during sleep. If you aren’t living in Northern Australia, you can still buy a didgeridoo online. http://www.didgeridoostore.com/ It might be worth a try. After I try the throat exercises, I might buy a didgeridoo.
