Abstract Previously reported oropharyngeal exercises are long and difficult to perform. Therefore, we created a 10-min daily oropharyngeal exercise program and conducted a study to confirm its effectiveness. Twenty-five participants whose apnoea–hypopnoea index (AHI) values were greater than 5 were enrolled. All of the participants performed 10 min of exercise per day for 12 weeks and were evaluated for AHI values, tongue pressure, lip closure pressure, snoring, and Mallampati scores before and after the exercise. Twenty-two participants (88% of all participants) completed the oropharyngeal ex
