I did and they didn't help at all. The problem is soft tissue at the back of the throat falls down and blocks the air passage causing you to stop breathing.

used2sell, also consider getting a battery back-up. A woman died a few months ago when the power went out and she couldn't breath. I'm pretty sure she had a full-face mask, tho. Mine just covers the nose.
