Was your machine recalled??

I don't know , I couldn't use it so I just put in a bit and forgot about it

I think you can sleep sitting up or pillows under you that makes you sleep like you are sitting up

I occasionally take naps w/ out it. I know I snore since my throat hurts when I get up. Try not to do this a lot

Overcomer

Good idea. I have but don't make it a habit

I just don't sleep hardly at all and when I do I wake up sometimes sitting up it freaks my granddaughters out when they see me like that lol and it hurts my neck
