Sleep Position
Making a small change to your current sleep position may help improve sleep apnea symptoms and the quality of night’s sleep. A study in 2006 shows that about half of the people dealing with obstructive sleep apnea is as a result of their present sleeping position.
Studies show that adopting the supine position, where you sleep on your back contribute to experiencing severe symptoms of sleep apnea. This sleeping position heightens the likelihood of snoring and blocking your airways. In certain situations, changing your sleeping position from back to side can help improve your breathing to normal. Therefore, it is imperative that you discuss your choice of sleeping position and symptoms experienced with your doctor for the right treatment options. [4]
