StiffTongue
Inject drug to stiffen tongue and avoid sleep apnea | |
Obstructive sleep apnea appears mostly caused by a flaccid tongue that relaxes back to block the airway. If a substance could be injected that caused the tongue muscle to retain some tone or stiffness, that might prevent the relaxation and consequent apnea. Perhaps tetanospasmin, the tetanus toxin
could be used, sort of like the opposite of botox.

Interesting - what's to prevent tongue drying out? |
|

For some reason, I thought this would be a sex aid, not a sleep aid. |
|
| |
perhaps a tongue stud ring tied with a length of cord to the bedpost? |
|

haha[dc]. Stiff tongue lasting into the morning hours requres immediate medical attention. |

"If you tongue is stiff for more than eight hours, you should immediately consult your doctor..." |

Tying the tongue ring to the bed post could be dangerous if the sleeper were to roll over. Perhaps tying the tongue ring to a nose ring would be a better choice. |

[21], Botox is a relaxant/paralytic, so it won't work. |

No, no! Tie the tongue stud to a navel ring! That keeps the tongue drawn down, out of the way.
Looks great, too. |
