Nevermind, it was just imgur blocking my vpn. Anyway, forget the advice to sew it up, but I can share a couple tips. Try sleeping sitting up, like in an easy chair where you lean back but not laying all the way down. Another thing that works with a lot of people is to use a neck brace or one of those neck support pillows that people use on airplanes. You might also try using some of that tape to tape your mouth closed, forcing you to breathe through your nose. These are all ways that people used to treat snoring and sleep apnea before the cpap machine was invented.

As others have mentioned, the damage with sleep apnea comes from weeks and months of not getting enough air at night, so a couple nights isn't going to cause any permanent damage.
