After 8 months on cpap i suddenly started sleeping on my tummy again. . . . I don't seem to block the exhaust ports either. i guess my body just decided to say WTF and that was it.
Eric,
That's really strange, but what a lovely surprise for you . . . all of a sudden being able to sleep for 8 hours straight on your stomach with a FFM! We just never know This CPAP adventure is a never-ending series of surprises.
I'm happy for you!

Joy

I have been sleeping in the Falcon position for years and didn't know it. I found it by accident trying to sleep on my stomach after having multiple pelvic fractures and a broken back. I may not stay in that position all night but I usually start there. It does help relieve the pain from the arthritis. Worked great last night with my new Swift LT for Her that I got yesterday. If I would stay in that position I would be better off but I seem to roll over on my back and all heck breaks loose.
