Didgeridoo playing as an alternative treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (2006) | Hacker News

A Hacker News discussion suggests tongue and throat exercises may be a more practical alternative to didgeridoo practice for some obstructive sleep apnea patients.

The idea is that myofunctional-style exercises could help reduce symptoms without the noise or setup of a didgeridoo.

Commenters emphasized that sleep apnea has different causes and severities, so home exercises will not work for everyone.

The advice was to have a suspected case evaluated by a doctor or sleep specialist before trying alternative treatments.
