Airing
CPAP machines save marriages and lives. The relentless snoring from obstructive sleep apnoea can enrage partners. For the sufferer, the continual cycle of blood oxygen levels plummeting and recovering under stress can cause sudden cardiac death, stroke and metabolic disease. Some people can’t adjust to sleeping with tethered masks. Airing, a small device for the nose, promises to end this. It has hundreds of tiny bellows that contract to blow pressurised air up the sufferer’s nose. Each Airing cost $4 each, and comes with an eight-hour zinc battery. It may sound cheap but you need a new one every night because of the embedded battery’s short life. That means about $1420 a year. For some, that’s the only solution.
