You may be able to treat mild cases of sleep apnea employing some amendments to your behavior, such as:
• Avoiding alcohol and sleeping pills.
• Shedding excess weight.
• Avoiding sleeping on your back.
• Making some variations in sleep positions to improve breathing.
• Quit smoking. Smoking can increase the swelling in the upper airway, which may further worsen both snoring and apnea.

Continuous positive airway pressure or CPAP is a sleep apnea treatment in Toronto in which a mask is installed over the nose or mouth. The mask is connected to a machine that supplies a continuous flow of air into the nose. This air flow helps keep the airways open in order to maintain a regular breathing. CPAP is the most commonly used treatment for sleep apnea. There's also bi-level positive airway pressure mainly known as BiPAP, which is similar to CPAP but the air flow variations when you breathe in and then breathe out.
