Yes this is sleep apnea. If it only happens on your back it is called positional sleep apnea. Some people use a tennis ball or something else to keep them off their back.

You may have a moderate sleep apnea on you side. Sleep apnea can cause the symptoms of ADHD.

You should talk to you doctor about having a sleep study.

Best wishes,
