I don't think he wants to give up the sleeping pills for the CPAP machine.

I tried one serving and I was a sleep in 20 minutes and after using it for 3 nights I did not need it anymore.

I've also noticed an increased likelihood of addictions in people with any sort of sleep problems in my practice, especially in people with sleep apnea. Of course, it's the chicken or the egg question: Does sleep apnea make you more likely to drink alcohol, or does alcohol (by relaxing your throat muscles) aggravate or bring on sleep apnea? It's probably a bit of both. <br /><br />My theory is that people who have smaller jaws and more narrow upper airway anatomy are more susceptible to alcoholism. As you can imagine, people who are either stressed or having trouble sleeping may resort to drinking.<br /><br />Coincidentally, I wrote a few posts back in my bog about a possible association between sleep apnea and oral/throat cancer.Steven Y.
