It's also a good idea to keep a water bottle with you on plane. The little 100ml packages of water they give you on plane don't hydrate you!

2. Set your schedule in advance

The best strategy for going across several zones is to start changing your sleeping schedule several days in advance to trip.

For instance, if you are travelling from Los Angeles to Hawaii, begin waking up and sleeping earlier gradually 3 to 4 days in advance, this will minimize jet lag effect when you arrive at your destination.

Adjust your meals and your light exposure as if you were to be already there and following that schedule.

3. Shock your sleep system

When you arrive your destination, immediately adapt your sleeping schedule to local time zone. For instance, if you arrive at 3Pm and you're feeling tired and drowsy, don't sleep! Wait it out and go to sleep at time you normally would. This will put more pressure on your body temperature rhythm to adapt to local time. If you try to adjust gradually it will take longer and make your vacation time less enjoyable!

Using these 3 simple methods should minimize jet lag effects you experience, and allow you to get most out of your travelling! If you find that you're still feeling very tired and low on energy during your vacation, take a short 10-45 nap to recharge yourself.

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) is a procedure used to remove excess tissue at back of throat (tonsils, uvula, and part of soft palate). The success of this technique may range from 30 to 60 percent. The long-term side effects and benefits are not known, and it is difficult to predict which patients will do well with this procedure.

Somnoplasty is a procedure that uses radiowaves to reduce size of some airway structures such as uvula and back of tongue. This technique is being investigated as a treatment for apnea.

3. Non-specific Therapy Behavioral changes are an important part of treatment program, and in mild cases behavioral therapy may be all that is needed. Overweight persons can benefit from losing weight. Even a 10 percent weight loss can reduce number of apneic events for most patients. Individuals with apnea should avoid use of alcohol and sleeping pills, which make airway more likely to collapse during sleep and prolong apneic periods. In some patients with mild sleep apnea, breathing pauses occur only when they sleep on their backs. In such cases, using pillows and other devices that help them sleep in a side position may be helpful.

These three solutions are information on what can be done to reduce sleep apnea effect, to better your knowledge in this area.. To really cure your sleep apnea, you would still need to consult a doctor.
