1) A boil and bite double mouthguard with airway will, in fact, work as a 'stop snoring' aid. I boiled it, I bit into it with my lower teeth out past my upper teeth, and then dunked it in cold water.
2) It caused so much jaw pain that I want to kill myself.
It caused no problems during the nap, but actually sleeping with it in was a whole nother story. I woke up at 5, went to sleep on the couch, took the appliance out at 8, actually woke up around 10 - it is almost 4pm and I am still suffering.
But? I didn't snore.
To add irony to this whole thing, the other person in bed - who never snores - did. I thought he was messing with me until I saw that no, he was actually deeply asleep. And snoring. LOUDLY.
PSA: Don't try to laugh while laying on your back with a mouthguard in. You will choke to death on drool.
The experiment being a success, I am now going to invest in a properly fitted mouthpiece that will, hopefully, not cause this amount of pain.
Still don't like That Guy.
