Do you really sleep on your side all night?

People that say they are side sleepers.....do you say that because you start out sleeping on your side or do you really sleep all night on your side. I always thought I was a side sleeper until I got on cpap. Now I can tell by my software charts that I don't stay on my side but flip onto my back during the night part of the time.

Both sides, in my case. I wake up sometimes when I turn over, but I almost always end up on the opposite side than when I went to sleep. And Sweetie says I don't spend ANY time on my back.

Pretty much the same as Kajun. I CAN'T sleep on my back. If I tried, I'd be staring at the ceiling all night.

I start out on one side and usually flip from side to side.

I mainly sleep on my side or stomach (which makes my face to the side still) but their are occasional nights that I sleep on my back but very rarely.

Yes, I to sleep on my side all night, flipping from side to side. I have tried my back with CPAP but it does not work.

I wear a backpack stuffed with a pillow so that I will stay on my side. This brings down my AHI and helps my GERD. I sleep on my left side because it helps with the GERD.

Prior to Cpap I could never fall asleep on my back either. Now I can fall asleep anyway....back or side....I think cpap has made me more tired.. I used to think I never slept on my back but my software tells me otherwise.

If I don't sleep on my side, I sleep on the other side

How can you tell your sleep position from your software?
