▲ 12 r/SleepApnea
When I (54m, Airsense 11 & F40 mask) sleep on my back, my AHI averages about 15-16 events. However, when I sleep on my side, it is around 5.
I am not a natural side sleeper and find it a bit painful (particularly neck & hips). I have only been able to "force" myself to remain in that position through the use of objects to, in theory, prevent me from rolling onto my back. In practice, however, I wake up frequently and find I must re-adjust these objects and it becomes even more problematic when I try to roll to the other side.
I am looking for tips from people who were able to condition themselves to be a successful side-sleeper. How did you do it? What worked for you?
Thanks!
