Back Sleepers Beware

I guess If it does not happen to you, it can not happen to anybody else. I guess I will try one more time and then I will shut up. I have been on Cpap for three years now and it still happens at times. I can sit in my recliner relax and slide my jaw back in a relaxed position on purpose and exhale and my throat will block and I can not exhale. I can repeat this several times with the same result but if I slide my jaw back forward it will not happen. When blowing my nose standing up sometimes the air will just stop but if I blow my nose easier it will not happen. I think I got the nose blowing thing figured out, I start to blow my nose standing up, I fall to sleep and have an apnea, the apnea wakes me up and I finish blowing my nose and walk away, go figure. I guess these are not really apnea's because they don't last that long.

I would think that sleeping in anyposition when analyzing data would lead to questionable conclusions about the results.
