I have had one for about 3 years - when I use it, I don't snore, feel more rested and don't get up during the night to use the bathroom. This last year I am just too lazy to set it up altho I really need to. My sister used it for one night and was ...claustraphobic...(I have NO idea how to spell that), so she took it back and continues to snore and stop her breathing at night. ---be determined--it WILL help you.
