sleeping on tummy ?

Posted by Pacific on August 18, 2001 at 09:57:01:
Friends,
I have been on CPAP.
Recently, I decided to turn off CPAP and
try sleeping on tummy which I have been
doing for last 3-4 days. Believe it or
not I am feeling much better than CPAP.
I am presume that this is preventing the
fundamental problem of tongue falling towards
throat and blocking air way. I have not got
fully adjusted to sleeping on tummy.
I wake up at least 3-4 times to adjust sleeping
position but even with that I am feel better.
Has anybody tried anything similar ?
Pacific.
