⚠️ Important Information About Sleep Apnea

During snoring and sleep apnea, breathing becomes interrupted. Blood oxygen levels can drop below 90%. Your heart works harder to compensate. Your brain partially wakes you 30-60 times per hour - too briefly to remember, but enough to affect sleep quality.

🚨 Sleep Apnea Statistics to Consider

Health Impacts of Untreated Sleep Apnea

  • ❤️ Cardiovascular Effects

    • High blood pressure in 50% of patients
    • Irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation)
    • Heart enlargement from increased workload
    • Increased risk of blood clots and stroke
    • Higher risk of cardiac events during sleep

  • 🧠 Brain & Mental Health

    • Memory and cognitive difficulties
    • Depression in 63% of sufferers
    • Anxiety and mood changes
    • Increased Alzheimer's risk
    • Potential brain tissue changes

  • 🏥 Metabolic Impact

    • Type 2 diabetes in 48% of cases
    • Weight gain and difficulty losing weight
    • Fatty liver disease risk
    • Chronic inflammation
    • Hormone imbalances

💔 Impact on Relationships

Partners often lose 1-2 hours of sleep nightly due to snoring. After 5 years, 50% of couples report sleeping in separate bedrooms. This can affect intimacy and relationship satisfaction. 27% of divorces cite snoring as a contributing factor. The social impact extends to family gatherings and travel situations.

Understanding Different Sleep Apnea Treatment Options

CPAP Machines: The Standard Treatment

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is widely recommended by sleep specialists and can be highly effective when used consistently. However, studies show that 30-50% of patients struggle with long-term compliance within 6 months.

Commonly reported challenges:

• Initial cost of €800-2000 plus ongoing expenses
• Some users experience claustrophobia with face masks
• Skin irritation or marks from straps
• Machine noise that may disturb sleep partners
• Travel complications with equipment
• Daily cleaning requirements
• Dry mouth and throat symptoms
• Sleep position limitations
• Dependency on electricity

Despite these challenges, CPAP remains an important treatment option that works well for many patients when they can adapt to it.

Dental Devices (MADs): An Alternative Approach

Mandibular Advancement Devices work by repositioning the jaw forward. They can be effective for some patients, particularly those with mild to moderate sleep apnea.

Key considerations for dental devices:

• TMJ discomfort reported in 40% of users
• Potential tooth movement requiring monitoring
• Custom fitting costs of €500-1500
• Excessive drooling or dry mouth
• Unable to speak or drink while wearing
• May trigger gag reflex in some individuals
• Effectiveness varies (60-70% when tolerated)

Surgery: When Other Options Haven't Worked

Surgical interventions are typically considered when other treatments haven't been successful. Results vary depending on the specific procedure and individual anatomy.

Important surgical factors:

• Costs range from €5,000-15,000
• Success rates vary (approximately 50%)
• Recovery period of 4-6 weeks
• Risk of voice or swallowing changes
• General anesthesia requirements
• May affect future CPAP use if needed
• Results may change over time

🎯 Back2Sleep: A Different Approach

After 10 years of research and development, Back2Sleep offers an intranasal stent that reaches the soft palate - addressing airway obstruction at its source.

How the Back2Sleep Nasal Stent Works

1. Simple Insertion: The soft medical-grade silicone stent slides gently through your nostril. The process takes about 10 seconds and becomes routine quickly.

2. Reaches Soft Palate: Our design extends to your soft palate - the location where airway collapse commonly occurs. This distinguishes our approach from other nasal devices.

3. Maintains Airway: The stent creates a consistent air channel. Your soft tissues can relax naturally without blocking airflow. Silent, comfortable, and discreet.

🔬 The Science Behind Our Approach

During sleep, throat muscles naturally relax. In sleep apnea sufferers, this relaxation causes the soft palate and surrounding tissues to collapse backward, blocking the airway. While CPAP pushes air through and MADs pull the jaw forward, our approach is different.

Back2Sleep works by maintaining a physical channel through the obstruction point, ensuring continuous airflow regardless of muscle relaxation, sleep position, or other factors.

Meet the ENT Specialist Behind Back2Sleep

Professor Frédéric Chabolle, MD

"After 35 years performing sleep apnea surgeries and observing the various treatment options available, Back2Sleep represents a simple solution that addresses airway obstruction directly."

Professional Background:
• Chief of ENT Department, Hôpital Foch (1993-2019)
• Currently in private practice in Neuilly-sur-Seine
• President of the French Society of ENT
• Author of over 160 scientific publications
• Pioneer in France of drug-induced sleep endoscopy

"I suggest Back2Sleep to patients looking for alternatives to CPAP or before considering surgery. In my practice, 92% of users express satisfaction with this approach."

Frequently Asked Questions About Back2Sleep

What exactly is a nasal stent and how does it work?

A nasal stent is a soft, flexible medical device made from medical-grade silicone that you insert through your nostril before sleep. The Back2Sleep nasal stent extends from your nostril to your soft palate - approximately 7-9cm depending on your anatomy. This creates a physical air channel that remains open, regardless of muscle relaxation, sleep position, or weight. Unlike devices that force air (CPAP) or reposition anatomy (dental devices), we maintain an open pathway where obstruction typically occurs.

Is the nasal stent effective for sleep apnea?

Clinical studies demonstrate that Back2Sleep reduces the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) by 60-70% on average. In our 6-month multi-center study of 248 patients, average AHI decreased from 28.4 to 10.2 events per hour. This typically moves patients from moderate to mild sleep apnea, or from mild to normal ranges. With 92% user satisfaction and 91% compliance at 6 months (compared to 49% for CPAP), it provides a practical option for many patients.

What size nasal stent should I choose?

Back2Sleep Starter Kit includes 4 sizes (S: 133mm, M: 143mm, L: 153mm, XL: 163mm) to help you find the right fit. The size refers to the total length from nostril to soft palate. Generally, women use S or M, while men use M or L, but anatomy varies individually. The right size should slide in smoothly without force, feel comfortable without pressure, and stay in place during sleep. 95% of users find their ideal size within the starter kit.

Are there any side effects of using a nasal stent?

Back2Sleep has minimal side effects compared to other treatments. During the first 2-3 nights, some users experience mild nasal irritation or increased mucus production as the body adapts - this is normal and temporary. Unlike CPAP, there's no dry mouth, skin marks, or air swallowing. Unlike dental devices, there's no jaw pain or tooth movement. Less than 2% of users report lasting discomfort.

Can I travel by plane with a nasal stent?

Absolutely! Back2Sleep is ideal for travelers with sleep apnea. Unlike CPAP machines, it requires no electricity, takes minimal luggage space, and is TSA-friendly - no special documentation needed. You can wear it during flights to reduce snoring and arrive more refreshed. The starter kit fits easily in carry-on luggage.

How quickly will I see results with Back2Sleep?

Most users experience improvements from the first night. Partners typically report significant snoring reduction (70-85%) immediately. Your sleep quality improves progressively as your body adjusts to uninterrupted breathing. Within 3-7 days, most users report: better morning energy, reduced headaches, less daytime fatigue, improved mood, and better concentration. Sleep study improvements (AHI reduction) are measurable within 2 weeks.
