This could be the answer to my sleep apnoea and snoring.

Swiss study, eh Amar old chap?

I've heard some people that sound like they're playing a dijeridoo while they're sleeping... :P

hmm, interesting...could imagine it helps by strengthening the muscles in the back of your throat, which might prevent them from slopping back to the further back of your throat, which leads to snoring.
Wonder if alphorn players have sleep apnoe disorder...

1. you are there
2. There aren't many alphorn players in the greater Seattle area...(I could be wrong about this) so what's wrong with learning alphorn?
3. how would you know?

3. careful...getting close to blowing your image :wink:

I play the didgeridoo, and I have to say I do sleep well. On the other hand, it keeps my wife and my dog up at nights. :D

didgeridoo lessons and daily practice at home for four months
While I may enjoy this, my family members may think that the cure is worse then the disease :)

How would you guard against the placebo effect in a study like this? Get the control group to learn the ukulele?

Naw, get the control group to take the dijeridoo to bed instead of play it, like JES. :P
