Re: Back sleeping, idea's to stay off it whilst asleep :)
I am worse on my back too, but I don't worry about it. I use an auto range that can handle when I am on my back. As a bonus, the higher pressure on my back makes my cheeks flap a little, so I roll back onto my side. So, with cpap, I sleep less on my back without making any effort.woody74 wrote:Hi peoples, just had a download done today, first in quite a while and have noticed like probably everyone else whilst asleep on my back, my apnea's are a lot worse.Now here's my question, how the hell do you stay off your back??????

My pressure range is 11-17. I spend most of the night between 11 and 13, with short spikes up to 15 and very rarely, a short spike up to 16.9.

Who would have thought it would be this challenging to sleep and breathe at the same time?
