I have mild sleep apnea, that so far is mild enough to be treated by:

-avoiding heartburn inducing food near bedtime
-wearing a “breathe-right” nasal strip
-sleeping on my side

I couldn’t sleep with that big hose on my head...I tried it at the sleep clinic and they couldn’t get an “accurate reading” since I didn’t sleep a wink the entire night.

I believe my husband also has mild SA. He once awoke to me hanging over him shining a flashlight into his mouth. I knew whatever was causing that awful flapping sound and snoring could be yanked out and I was determined to do so. LOL!

He ‘forgets’ to wear a breathe-right. He knows not how close to strangulation he comes every night. :evil grin:

My Wife says I snore quite a bit at night, but that it only occurs when I lay on my back.

Since it's rather hard to make yourself roll over onto your side when you're asleep, I wonder what other methods I could use to keep from sleeping on my back?

Ideas, anyone?
