Sweet...I just got one made...not that I have sleep apnea...but it might come in handy
Researchers say there are many types of oral appliances that may be used to treat sleep apnea, snoring, or both. When worn during sleep, they help to maintain an open airway by repositioning or stabilizing the lower jaw, tongue, soft palate, or uvula (the fingerlike piece of tissue that hangs down from the soft palate at the back of the mouth).
The most common symptoms of sleep apnea are excessive snoring and daytime sleepiness. It is diagnosed with special tests while you sleep, usually in a sleep lab.

It's designed to be easy to use in an emergency - complete with audio instructions during use.
