This is actually one of the fastest ways to get clues about what may be contributing to your sleep apnea 👇

Go to a mirror.
Open your mouth.
Say “ahhh.”

Now look for that little dangly thing in the back of your throat… your uvula 😅

What you’re checking is your Mallampati score, which gives insight into how open or crowded your airway may be.

And no, it does NOT determine your value as a human being despite what internet shame culture may suggest 😂

Here’s the general idea:

1️⃣ Score 1–2
Your airway is relatively open.

Focus more on:
• Nasal breathing
• Slower breathing patterns
• Box breathing before bed 🫁

2️⃣ Score 3
Now we need more tongue work.

Try tongue suction:
Make a clicking sound, then slow it down until your tongue naturally rests suctioned to the roof of your mouth.

Hold it there.

3️⃣ Score 4
Now we’re bringing in palate exercises too.

The weird but effective one:
Make a “K” sound or the “NG” sound like the end of “singing.”

Yeah… it kind of sounds like a cat coughing up a hairball.

Do sets of about 30 reps in private where nobody can judge you.

And combine that with tongue elevation work too.

Little things done consistently can make a surprisingly big difference over time.
