Most people do have more apneas when they sleep on their back. But if you qualified for a split night study you probably don't have a borderline case. So, I doubt that sleeping on your back will fix the problem alone. Especially if your still snoring on your side.

I was one of the unusual cases where my apneas were fewest on my right side, more on my back and the most on my left side. Go figure!

Good luck and welcome to your new life!
