This is super interesting. I did a sleep test a while back and they were on the fence with recommending a CPAP machine. My experience isn't like what is described by most people with sleep apnoea. I don't wake up tired or groggy. I do snore from time to time.
The doctor suggested, cutting out alcohol, and sleeping on my side rather than back. I've paired that with a smart watch to keep a track of my O2 stats and feel fine. I'm hoping to avoid all machines as long as possible.
- TheCapeGreek 3y agoI really feel like there's no great way to win here. - I've tried the side sleeping thing as well as I snore less with it, but the only way to stay on my side is to force something behind me so I can't roll over. But then I get shoulder and hip pain from lying on only one side for most of the night. - CPAP side effects sounded enough that it'd just be a 50/50 on if it'd help me sleep better - MADs can cause jaw pain and other issues The closest improvement I've had so far is by accident: a higher-end chain store in my area started selling S-shaped "back sleeper anti snoring pillows" so I tried one out. Like CPAP my mouth is suuuuper dry when I wake up, but I've felt more alert waking up and my sleep quality has improved.
