Try the Falcon Position of Tummy Sleeping. This position avoids airway narrowing of sleeping on your back. "By sleeping on your side, or on your stomach with your head turned off to the side, this elicits the pull of gravity to cause the soft tissues of the palate and the tongue to fall somewhat forward and away from the back of the throat, preventing them from narrowing or obstructing the airway."
